These arrived today and I'm delighted! Last year, I tried the Retreat wide leg and the Retreat jogger and returned them both. The colors were gorgeous and I was so bummed because the fit was horrible. I'm 5'2" and 131#, with most of my weight in my middle. The last thing I needed was so much excess ...fabric in the hips and on the back of my legs all the way down. BUT THESE ARE PERFECT!! I ordered Regular XS, which is one of my typical Athleta sizes for bottoms (because we all know there's no size consistency across Athleta items). I'll probably cut off the waist ties since most non-skinny women don't want more bulk at their waist. I got the Pyrite color and agree with other reviewers who say it has a bit of a grey tone. The Essential tee in Pyrite doesn't quite match but it works. I do like this color and love the striation in the fabric. It's also lighter weight than the Retreat pants last year. In fact, this reminds me of the old Cabo linen pants, but that style didn't come in this particular cut. This ankle pant is very comfortable in fit and fabric. For petite customers, I did not order petite, and the regular length hits me about an inch lower than the models' photos. This style really should be in the stores...
