Well and truly stretchy enough to fit over my knee pads and huge calf muscles! A few more knotches/velcro to make the waist a little smaller could be handy. Super lightweight so very easy to climb in on those chillier days.
Claire from Dirt Maidens recommended these to me and I could not be happier! I purchased one of each in shorts and pants. The fit is spot on, comfortable, easy to move, quick drying. I just completed a 10 day mtb bike tour of NZ and they were amazing, especially the long pants zip side pocket for whipping me phone in and out! Complimentary socks were also put to good use 👌🏼
Could not have had better customer service when I got the sizing wrong - the easiest exchange process.
Normally a size 12, got the M pants. They're a little loose around the waist and snug around my calves, but comfortable and my knee pads fit underneath. Would probably suit the more curvy hips best.
I'm 171cm and got regular length - it's perfect.
Would not hesitate to buy from Vana again.
Top quality pants, great design. I love the deep pockets on both sides and the 'tall' length. For a tall rider that often has ankles uncovered by other pants, this was my favourite part. Still a bit tight over my massive calf muscles but stretchy enough to accommodate them!
These pants are amazing. So comfortable practical but so stylish.
Have no issues getting my knee pad under them.
No heavy plastic clips to dig into your belly.
Such a well designed pair of pants.
