Customer Reviews Outdoor Research Petra Pants

I'm wearing these right now! They are so soft and comfy. I got an 8, I'm 140lbs 5'3".

These pants fit great. The fabric is lightweight and super soft.

These pants are so comfortable. I bought them looking for loungewear, and have never had a pair of sweatpants I like more. They're so soft and cozy, while not being big and bulky. They're a nice slim-but-not-too-slim fit, and could totally be worn for yoga or hiking or other endeavors. I think they could even make a decent spring midlayer. These pants rock and I would totally buy another pair. I'm 5'6, 150 lbs, and the size 6 fits great.

I wear these to go nordic skiing and running in the winter. They're great! Plus they double as nice lounge pants. I love the zippered pocket on the back where I can stash money or a key.

My weekdays are work; meetings, presentations, desk work. My weekends are for recreation relaxation. These versatile pants allow me the freedom and flexibility to Adventure or rest. They transport me into my weekend.

Use this product under rain pants during field work programs. I also enjoy wearing these pants once i reach my destination to a backcountry hut. They are great for moozing around the house in too.

Love these pants. Extremely comfortable and fit/length is just right. I'm 5'9' with a 33" inseam, so I usually have difficulty finding pants that fit well. Great for running errands, lounging or light workouts...The fabric is lightweight and incredibly soft. I'll be buying another pair in black!

I love these pants! I bought both colors. I wear them around the house and I have worn them hiking with my dogs. They are good looking enough to wear out to buy groceries as well. I will definitely be wearing them camping next summer!

So comfortable

Super soft, stylish hang around the house or camp pants. I love the fabric. I got the XS and am 5'5'' 120, fits great.

These pants fit me perfectly and they are so comfortable. I've worn them climbing and they're great for that, but I prefer them just for lounging (at home and while camping) and walking the dog. My only complaint is that they pill a little on the front, but it's nothing an electric de-piller can't fix!

These fit great, and work as lounge pants and bopping around on errands pants. They are very comfy and hold their shape. I have small legs (5'3, 115 lbs) and the size 2 fit perfectly.

These pants are my new favorite lounging around pants. The fabric is incredible, doesn't pile, and stays soft wash after wash. Though they're incredible sweat pants, they're also styley enough to wear to yoga class, or out and about in town.

so comfortable ! I am 5'6" , 130lbs and the size 4 fits without being tight. These are the pants I put on as soon as I get home from work and the first pant that I put on in the morning.

These were super soft and comfy. I wanted to keep them in the size 12 I first tried but they were way too big and long. Would be great for a tall person (I'm 5'53/4, 136 lb). I then tried an 8 and they would have been good..but I like a tad more room. They are lightweight, good for warmer weather! Zappo's is the BEST!

The OR Petra Pants are phenomenal, lightweight sweatpants. Super comfy, perfect for lounging or snuggling in a sleeping bag. If you're too lazy to put on actual pants, they perform pretty well for hiking as well. I love that they have actual pockets.

I wear these pants to and from dance class (sometimes during!) and to lounge around in. The cut is more fashionable than your average sweat pant, which makes me feel better about how much I wear them out in public! Though I'm usually a 6-8 in OR pants, I exchanged for a 10 because I wanted them loose around my thighs. The waist and ankle bands still offer me a good shape. My ONLY complaint about these pants (and only because I love them so much) is that they tend to pill easily. Not as noticeable on the black pairs, but I had to return my grey pair after just one wear (not even a wash) due to very obvious pilling on the thighs and waist. I don't see much mention in the other reviews, but it has happened with all three pairs of mine.

I've used these pants so far for gym climbing, winter running, long plane rides, sleeping in, and just lounging around in. They are really comfy for everything and have just the right amount of stretch and looseness to accommodate having some dessert if you wanted. ;) The wide waistband stays in place but I've found that the elastic in the band will occasionally shift and fold under itself and you end up having to adjust it. I am usually an XS/2 in OR, but ordered a size 4 as they didn't have my size. This ended up still fitting me OK.

I like these pants a lot but they run small. I usually wear an 8 and I needed a 12 in these.

This was magical fabric. Soooo soft. But don't be fooled. Before I even washed it the first time, there was piling. And unraveling of hems. So sorry I splurged on this crop pant.

I like the these pants but the elastic band was sewn in such a manner that it appeared they were seconds. Had to return.
