Washed once- now too short
Though previous reviewers said the same thing, I gave this pant a try because of the fabric. If the length shrinking was not a problem, these would be great pants. I am 5' 9" and they are too short.

Absolutely Comfortable
I was a bit hesitant buying these after reading some of the past reviews. I'm really glad I purchased them. Didn't experience any of the problems some of the other reviewers posted. Really comfortable. I love the elastic waist as well as it provides more of snug fit.

comfy casual
I have two pairs of these. I haven't climbed in them but they are great as casual pants. My pant size is normally a 30 waist/32 inseam and the mediums fit me fine. I hang dry them and the inseam is just about right for me. Maybe a tad short. Hopefully, Patagonia keeps these in their line.

Great Pants
These pants are comfortable yet formal enough for that meeting with your next potential boss. The only complaint I would have is that the sizing doesn't seem consistent with other Patagonia pants. I'm typically a medium in Patagonia pants, so I ordered a medium. I had to return them and order a large. The large was just right in the length, but WAY to big in the waist; good thing they have a drawstring. Other than that, they are great. The huge gusset allows for full range of motion for the adventure of your choice. Good buy.

It is a very wonderful pants.
It is easy to move to the bouldering very much. Making is steady. The pocket may be also deep. I will keep putting this on.

Very comfortable with the right features
Very comfortable for both climbing and walking. Nice to have a pair of climbing pants with a zippered fly so you don't have to remove your harness. Zippered side pocket great for wallet, keys or glasses.

Great pants, usual wacky Patagonia sizing
Who needs pants that are half way between sweats and khakis? You do! The Retro Grade Pants are super comfortable (baggy)but still look good. The only problem is Patagonia's inexplicable love of the highwater look. Get a size larger if you want the inseam to be long enough.

Good material, Sizing is odd, drawstring is a plus.
The sizes only come in S, M, L, XL. The M fit good (I am 5'11") but I haven't washed them. Worse case scenario is I have to get the hems extended... goes to show you that I do like the pants...

Too small
I really liked the style and fabric of these but had to return them due to being too small in the hips and the waist. I'm not sure going up a size would give the right fit. The fabric is really cool though.
