Lightweight and comfy This is my very first Capri and I am so surprised at how good it looks and how comfy it feels. I like how it fits loosely on my body.
I usually wear size 8 but for this one, size 10 fits me better!

better for tall Liked these but the sizing is funky. Really long for capris.
Nice quality (to be expected from MH). Overall good, but better for tall gals (not me).

Great pants but too small These are great pants but they run very small. I ordered one size up (8) and they are still a bit small, especially in the crotch. If you are tall, I would recommend ordering up two sizes. The measurements listed are not accurate.

Love them The pants feel so light on you. I usually wear a size 8, but bought a 10 in these and they fit perfect. So you do need to size up. These dry so very fast. Great for traveling. I will wear them on my cruise and also on my Vagas trip.

Fitted, so order up a size Love the sesame color! These fit on the small side, so best to order 1-2 sizes up for a looser and more comfortable fit. Really cute and casual.

Great capris I have walked in those capris in hot weather in Brazil and not only they are very light but look really nice on you too. Dry really quick.
Highly recommended. I actually have two pairs of those, this is how much I like them.

very good pants Lightweight and very comfortable. The legs are wider than most capris. I suggest going for two sizes larger than your normal size if you want them to have a more relaxed fit across the hip. I normally wear a 2, so I ordered a 4 and they were still very snug. They wash and dry very fast, great for camping and hiking.

Boxy I haven't worn the capri's anywhere besides around the house yet, but they are a little boxy. The picture makes them seem like there is more shape than there is...I do like the fabric and I think they might be growing on me. I did order a few sizes up and that was a good idea.

Fun Capris I agree with the recommendation to size up. My normal size wasn't big enough. The lightweight fabric makes it a perfect summer capri, but I didn't care too much for the flared leg design.

Great Travel or Home Capris - As many other reviewers remark, the MH Arroyo Capris are stylish, wash & dry well, come in great colors, and are extremely comfortable. Unlike others, my pair fits true to size, so beware if you're ordering without trying on first. I recently tried on the next size up and they were huge on me. A great product!

Great fabric for hot weather These capris are great for hiking on hot, humid days. The fabric is very lightweight, so you don't really notice you're wearing capris, even in 90 degree weather with 80 percent humidity. I sized up based on what other reviews noted; however, the pants are a bit big. The next pair I get will be my "true" size.

I love them!! These pants are perfect. They are stylish and yet very comfortable and flexible enough for climbing. I have 2 pairs and plan to buy more, they're great!!! The sizes are accurate and almost on the small size, so follow the sizing chart.

I am buying pair #8 though that may be enough said, I will also say that the pairs I've had longer (I bought sixes when I was a four) have stretched enough to fit true to size (I'm now a six) around the hips and because am short waisted they have always fit me perfectly in that regard.

These are the second pair of MH capris that I own I have these capris in twine and roc rose. They go from hiking to mountain biking. You can roll the bottoms up and they can be just below the knee without being tight. The wash and wear well. I got the twine at regular price.

perfect These are the best fitting basic capris I have found. You can dress them up or down. I have two pairs and wear them all the time. I wish Mountain Hardwear would make the same thing in long pants.

Super-flattering for Very comfortable. Consider sizing up if short-waisted to provide a better fit for the rise. Like many have said, review the sizing chart carefully. The measurements are exact. Don't expect a lot of "forgiveness"!!!
Sits below the natural waist and really is very flattering for the woman with curves! Also makes for great traveling. I would suggest a neutral color for your first pair. Black, string, sesame, khaki and petrol complement most sportswear tops.

Perfect for hot days This lightweight capri is perfect for hot days. It's a great casual pant that can go from trail to town. Buy a size up, because the pant fits snugly.

Easy travel and very comfortable! Great pants! Dry fast and are very versatile. Sizing is odd. I don't really agree about sizing up - but I am small waisted and big hipped. Normally wear a 6 or 8. Bought the 8 because 6 too small in hips, but wonder now if they would have "broken in" and been better as these are baggy in the waist and slip down too much.

Great pants!! Super comfortable and lightweight. I love the fit, loose, but not baggy, looks cool. Be sure to size up one from your regular size or it'll be too tight. Fast drying too. These capris are my favorite summer pants, I always reach for 'em first, yea!

Pants are great I packed these on my recent trip to South America as one of 3 pants to get me through 3+weeks. They held up great! I could wear them hiking and then off to dinner. They pack light, wash easy, and dirt brushes off. Perfect travel/hiking pant.

Comfortable and stylish These capris, like other MH clothing, are stylish and comfortable. Lightweight and easily packable-- I will be taking them on my upcoming backpacking trip. These capris seem to run a little large as other reviews mention- so its good to order one size larger than you normally wear. Its hard to tell with MH though, as some styles run large and others small.....but get them!
