CoolibarUPF 50+ Women's Petra Wide Leg Pants - Sun Protective

They are a bit larger than I expected. I tried to shrink them, but no luck. I want them a bit smaller in waist and upper hip, so I will take them in myself. No biggie. I wear a 14 and ordered extra large. I would have been fine with large.

expensive

So far I really like these pants, light weight, drawstring with a little elastic and spf 40. We are traveling and they will be great as I can wash them in the sink and will be dry the next day

I bought two colors, black and taupe print. They are made from a very light fabric. I like that because they will be add little weight and take up minimal room in a carryon. It's also nice to be able to wear them two ways. They look dressier when the legs are left open and casual when they are tied at the bottom. Love the versatility. I had to get a different size in each color because the cut is slightly different. I am 5'4", 145 lbs. I found that a M was good in the black, but I needed a L in the taupe print, mostly because the rise was shorter in the taupe.

Edited review:After I had already requested a refund, I traveled somewhere with a lot of sun exposure and had nothing else to wear, so I decided to give these a shot. They turned out to be a lifesaver. I have no doubt that I wouldn't have lasted as long on the hike without being covered. They are very lightweight, which threw me off initially, but they do not feel flimsy. I feel bad that I left such a negative initial review. I do still think they are rather expensive, but if you can afford them and you know that you'll be somewhere where the sun is intense, I think these are still worth the price.Original review:I am a big fan of the Coolibar brand. Unfortunately, I ordered these pants in white, and they were so incredibly sheer. Additionally, the fabric is thin yet does not feel like it would be very breathable. Also, I bought these because it says that you can tie them at the bottom, but I did not realize that you literally tie up the fabric. I thought there would at least be a string. Overall, I did not find these to be worth the money and I will be returning them :(. Hopefully Coolibar will come up with a version with slightly thicker fabric and drawstrings at the bottom.

So lightweight and has a drawstring waist. I wore them day after day in Egypt. It was 100 degrees.At night I would wash them in hotel sink, hang dry and they were dry and ready for day 2.I wear a size 12 US and am 5’5 and the large fit perfect.Also flattering and comfortable

These fit as expected based on my normal size. The elastic has stretch, obviously, but the material itself is not stretchy. The cut of the pants is loose enough though that I didnt feel any inhibitions for movement and I was sitting on the floor stretching in them. The material is quite thin and I'm actually afraid I'll rip them, but they have held up to a few wears so far one of which I was doing a lot of moving and setting up for an outdoor party. They are very lightweight and don't feel like they heat up in the sun (I have black). I really love how comfortable and cool they are. These are definitely some of my new favorite summer pants. Especially for errands. I plan to try them out salsa dancing outside and at the beach. I will try to remember to update my review with any concerns from that, but I dont anticipate any.

So I'm heading to Hawaii for a wedding, and it's outside, so this will be Perfect. Also I'm allergic to the Sun, so I'm excited and thrilled to wear this outfit. Oh, I'm really, really, really heavy and I won't share you my weight. Let's just say, after ordering this outfit I noticed the measurements and I was really sad because I figured this wasn't going to fit, even though I normally wear 3X. Your measurements wasn't accurate. I'm not complaining at all.However, the pants did. I couldn't be happier.Thank you, 😊
