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

I bought these for a summer trip to Italy with 100+ degree weather. The fabric is as advertised feels airy and soft. A lot of the other UPF 50 clothing I tried including Coolibar's own ZnO(TM) and REI definitely didn't feel airy and weren't as soft.The waist is very adjustable with good-quality elastic and a nice drawstring. The main sizing seems to be in the pant width. I'm 5'7" and 135 lb. Amazon recommended a size medium but the size medium pant width ballooned and it looked I was wearing clown pants. If I had bigger thighs, I'd have kept the medium.I then bought a size small. Even in size small, the pant width is very wide like flood jeans but works with the style of the pants. The white fabric is semi-sheer so I wear it with white underwear. IMO not a big deal.I also bought two other patterns directly from Coolibar that had sold out on Amazon. The patterns disguise underwear better but it's still something I wear with white underwear.

These pants are so lightweight and feel almost like silk. I am in my 40s, about 145 lbs and around 5'4 and bought the large in taupe. Im very picky about pants and find it difficult to find any that i like, these are very flattering to my pear shape both loose and knotted. However they are about 3 inches too long and dragged on the floor when not tied up. I'm having them altered and consider it totally worthwhile. I could have probably worn a medium and that may have helped the length, but I'm not sure they would have draped as well. I bought these with the plan to wear them on a day long boat trip, however the fabric feels like it may be too delicate (exactly as described in the listing.) Perfect for travel.Update: I did end up wearing them out on the boat and they held up beautifully. Even with a big slobbery dog that sat on my lap half the time! I even ended up wearing them 2 more times before washing them, they didn't even look worn by the end of the 3rd day. Definitely recommend.

Super light weight and can dress up

I needed these to block the sun rays but they are cute enough to wear all the time and they don’t wrinkle.

To keep cool and protected from the sun.

I am 5'5, 170 lbs. I purchased a size L sun Harlem style pant. I found the fabric to be lightweight but dense enough to feel comfortable wearing white. When I first took them out of the package I was "oh no, this isn't going to work." I tried them on and they were a perfect fit. This is when I noticed the cloth weight would work for me. I didn't want anything sheer or see through. The length works for my height with sandals. I love the easy way to tie the pants up. They look great either way! I was hesitant because of the price, but now I'm glad I gave them a try. I will buy another pair for the summer.

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.

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
