not fit for women

While these are an awesome product, high quality and durable, the unisex sizing does not fair for women. I am not an extra curvy figure. 5' 7.5'', 155# winter weight. Toned, evenly proportioned. Size 4 & 6 in toad & co Pants. I sized up to size Large in these down pants to accommodate hips, and while they will work, they are still uncomfortably tight through the hips and butt. I do not recommend these pants to women. 5 stars for what the product is. 2 stars for fit, as applied to women.

Helios Down Pants

I am 5’8”, 165 lb. and am typically a size M but the website suggests sizing up to wear over layers so I ordered size L. L was correct for my use. Note that there is no zippered fly. Their actual weight is 0.9 lb. I estimate their packed volume to be substantially less than the stated 4L.

Unbeatable warmth in extreme conditions

These down pants are absolutely excellent. The quality is outstanding — warm, lightweight, and incredibly comfortable. They pack down easily without losing loft, and the materials feel durable and premium. Perfect for camping in high-altitude conditions — they kept me warm inside the tent even in very low temperatures. I’m extremely satisfied and would highly recommend them. I’m 1.62 m tall and weigh 53 kg, and the size S fit perfectly. I can even wear a pair of pants underneath.
