So I have last year's version, which is much more jogger than the new version, and I'm still not sure which pair I like better. For reference, I'm a 4R in last years version, sometimes a 4-6 in Athletas stuff, sometimes a petite but typically a regular length. Last year's version 4P was too short in... the leg for me. I got a 4R in this year's version, still debating if I should've gotten a Petite or not, its a bit of a slimmer fit than shown on the model and the waist is slightly loose so I bet I could still size down once more to a 2 for a more fitted fit if I so desired. Last year's version had a thicker-material waistband with regular tie, full elastic around the hems, and a normal set of 4 normal-sized (i.e. not typical "women pants sized") pockets. New version has a thinner material on the waistband, elastic on only the back half of the pant hem, slightly higher rise (Athleta, srsly, can you stop raising the waist band on all of your pants unless you plan to make mid rise versions as well? Im too short for such high rises), and an additional thigh pocket for a total of 5 pockets. Extra pockets are good, especially when they fit your phone so it's not in the way when hiking (confirmed a Galaxy S10 fits just fine), but I wish the waistband were the thicker material still. I'm concerned this material might stretch out during the day, especially if I'm on a rock scramble and bent over frequently. The pant legs also don't quite know what to do with themselves since they are looser than last year due to the half-elastic design, so they kind of look like a slim tapered pant vs a jogger, which is ok but they get caught up on my bigger calves which causes wierd bunching at the knees. I'm definitely going to keep them and given them a try, hopefully they change my mind after wearing them a few times.
I'm curvier on the bottom, narrower in the waist. I have a hard time finding pants and swear by the original trekkie north jogger design (size 2 regular) that are a slimming versatile staple with an adjustable waist (so it still fits when the material stretches out). I tried this new version which i...s more like a flat front peg leg trouser than tapered leg jogger and while it is tts it looked frumpy on me. The ankles seem a bit shorter, are not as tapered and the front pockets have crude, prominent zippers that run longer down the front, drawing attention to the hips (not good if you have wider hips). The old version had pockets with a more subtle zipper design that were less obtrusive, making your legs look longer. The zipped front pockets and extra cargo pocket on the leg might have looked cooler if better designed (ie: Belstaff biker pants) but as is, I'm feeling utilitarian middle-aged Rick Steve's tourist vibes (ie: cash in the cargo pocket to avoid pick pocketers, enough room in the front pocket for a map, no need to change pants from sightseeing to buffet dinner). It's a fine if practicality is your priority. And maybe there's room for two styles of Trekkie pants. But I'd like to keep the original Trekkie North jogger -- while casual, it's more stylish if you are a fan of relaxed minimalist athleisure (eg: James Perse, Stella McCartney Adidas collab etc).

I wear this pant in a 4P, and to give you some context my usual size in other pants can go from a 6-8. These run pretty big. That said, once you find your size they are pretty comfy and I like that they are good for hiking, not too constricting while also looking decent enough to just wear around for errands etc when you're not going hiking. I don't want pants that only do 1 thing! So, all in all happy. I will say the other thing that surprises me on fit is that the waist gapes a bit. My weight is ~129 and waist is around 30, and I'm wearing a 4P. These obviously run large, so if that's something you care about, take note. I for one don't mind it's a little loose, I just tuck in shirt etc. Much appreciate the petite sizing.

I have a very sensitive waistline area and I hate when pants dig into it. This jogger is easy on the waistline, and I can even go up a size and the legs aren't balloons because it is overall closefitting. You can tighten the fit with an interior piece of elastic (which I like, I don't love having strings on the outside-messy). I have repeatedly washed the pairs I own and they are very durable. The material is good for at least three seasons, and I wear it in the winter if its not too dramatically cold. I think the fit is good looking on a lot of body types and at least the darker colors don't show cellulite. The material had just the right amount of weight to it. It does shrink a little if dried in the dryer. I usually hang to dry but will occasionally put in dryer if it feels a little big or stretched out.

So glad you brought them back this year.!! Love the flat panel with no draw string and the all around fit. Last years model was a little barrel fit with a draw string. I did not like them !! Please add more colors to the Trekkie North Jogger.

Brought them on vacation that was both freezing and tropical and they worked great in both places. I love the pockets and they are very comfortable.

This is my third pair. Soft waistband that hugs without pinching or digging. Sturdy, breatheable, quick-drying fabric that's great for long days in the outdoors. Pockets are well laid out and sleek. The zippers give a bit of shine. Would love to see more colors.

I am so happy Athleta brought this style back! They are a perfect casual pant. The fit is true to size and the style and fit are so flattering! The high waist and angled zipper pockets look great and the fabric is the perfect light weight for year round wear. I had purchased these in multiple colors a few years ago and was so disappointed when they changed the pant style. Now the pants are back I purchased them in every color! I highly recommend!
