Really nice but much to short for 5ft 10 ins even in XL. Sadly had to return

Light and comfortable to wear. Easy to wash and dry well. Great for packing in gym bag or for travelling. Especially with elasticated ankles!

I adore both the light and winter weight Explorer Cargo pants! I reach for these more than anything else I own because of their comfort factor, quick wash and because they flatter my straight figure. I will live in the lightweight ones all Summer, and if they were available in pale grey and navy, I would snap them up too!

I got these for hiking but really love the sporty silhouette, so I'm sure I'll wear them all the time. The fabric's really light and breathable, so a great easy choice for everyday. I'm a size 6 and went for my usual XS. #teamsweatybetty

Lightweight and flattering

Slightly different to my other Explorer items in the double waist. But same flattering fit. They do feel slightly thinner, but that might be because I’ve bought them in the winter. And perhaps I should have gone for the winter version, but will probably get more wear out of this lighter style.

Weird waistband

No, I don't recommend this
I love my explorer pants and shorts but the cargo pants were a disappointment. While the overall fit is similar to my other explorer items, the waistband sits a bit higher and looks strange as it’s a typical enclosed elastic waistband that’s topped with an exposed elastic band.

I absolutely love these trousers - they've become known as my 'travelling pants' as they were super comfortable on my long flight to New Zealand. Just wish you made them in other colours - khaki green perhaps??

Great throw on, ready for anything trousers

I love this new take on the Explorer trouser! So flattering and makes the cargo style a touch more feminine with the draping of the material. These will be my go-to option when I don't know what to wear for errands, coffee dates, casual dinners, etc. I'm 172cm tall and the length on the leg is perfect for me (I sometimes struggle with SB trousers being too short for me). I did however size up to a medium, as I have an hourglass figure and found the fabric was a bit tight for my liking around my curvier hips/upper thighs in my usual size small. #teamsweatybetty

Perfect! Durable, flexible and has actual pockets!

Perfect pants as always. I have the entire explorer trouser and short collection for rock climbing, yoga and running. Their durable enough to drag through limestone but flexible enough to allow you to move without worrying if your butt crack is on show or restricting your movement.

Love this style and it feels like an elevated style with the amazing Explorer fabric. The sweat wicking and multi stretch properties make these my go to option for an easy work outfit or to throw on for a walk. Definitely recommend! #teamsweatybetty

Nice Trouser - would love shorter length
Originally posted on sweatybetty.com

Really like this new Explorer silhouette, it’s different than the original explorer with elastic waist and leg openings but it’s a nice new take on my fav trousers. I am 5’4” so would have liked the option of a slightly shorter inseam to be a bit cropped but they are still really cute. #teamsweatybetty
