women's 3SP XC pant
I am hoping these pants will improve with laundering. The stitching down the front (that should mark the center of the pants leg) is twisted, so I think the pants pieces were not cut on the straight of the fabric. The size is "Large, Long" but the waist sits a bit low, rather than at the waist. I can wear them, and I have a pair like this which DOES fit correctly, but this pair was a disappointment. As noted, I'm hoping laundering will improve the pants.
XC Pants
i have just about worn mine out and need to order another pair; I agree though, they never go on sale and you have to pay shipping as well.
Super comfortable
this is my first pair of SportHill pants - came recommended by a friend. I'm super glad I got them - they work great for cold weather hiking and snowshoeing. Holding back a star because they're so expensive and had to pay for shipping on top of that!
Best ever.
I've been wearing these X-Country Ski pants for years. They never wear out! They just get worn in. Great for skiing, other activities---especially in cold, wind, precipitation.
Replaced old pair
I purchased a pair of these pants to replace my beloved pair I've had for 18 years. Those were perfect. This new pair does seem to be quite larger for a medium petite. I was surprised they were so baggy. Wasn't sure if it's me or the pants although I am bigger than I was 18 years ago. The styling seems to have changed. The old ones were more like jodhpurs: a little bit of ease in the thighs, but a nice taper to the ankles. I'd send them back but no longer have the paperwork and the cost of postage, well, I'll make do.
Also, I haven't washed them yet. We'll see if they are as good as my old pair. Some of the previous reviews make me wonder.
Just thick fleece pants
These pants are simply thick fleece but they were nowhere near as warm as I hoped. I was cold in them snowshoeing uphill on a windless day with a thin layer underneath. I'm a size 10 in pants and the Large Petite were too roomy and long. I don't think they are worth the price.

Great pants
Pilling fabric, poor fit
I just have to say it--when you spend $125 for a pair of pants the fabric should not pill after ONE wash. When I i quired I was told this is "normal". No, Sporthill. It is not jormal for great fabric. If sporty people at are OK with expensive clothes that look really shabby after one washing--fine--but I expect better quality. Also--just FYI-- the fit is huge. Order a size down, at least. The sm on a 5'6" -- 120 lb 37-25-36 frame...massive...literally fall off because the waist cord wont hold a knot.

XC Pants
I have had 2 pairs of the men's XC pants & they are too large now. I got them because I wanted the zipped side zippers. So now will try the ladies pants. They look nice, would like them just a bit tighter in the hips & thighs. I got the SL
XC pants
Love these pants. I would order med long next time. I am only 5'5 but the medium are a little short on me.
