Columbia Women's Bugaboo Plus Size Hiking Pants - Waterproof, Breathable Outdoor Adventure Pants for Hiking, Camping & Travel

Finally! I feel like goldilocks. I guess 3rd time is a charm? So, initially I got these in an XL which is pretty much the same exact size as the 1x. Not sure why they do that... that was waaaaaaay to small since I have a little junk in my trunk and yes its been a while since I went skiing regularly. It was way too much effort to try and pull these over my butt and then try and fasten the buttons, but everything else fit a little more snug than I would have liked as well. I feel like when you're skiing, you should be comfortable and I generally like to wear some workout pants or leggings underneath. So, I returned those no problem. I then ordered the 3X thinking these would be roomy enough to not be an issue pulling on and wear another layer underneath. I was right, but they were too big and I was basically able to slide these bad boys off without unzipping or unbuttoning the pants either. I even thought about just using a belt, but I was too afraid that if I had a spill or got up from sitting on the chair lift, I'd be constantly still pulling up the pants and would definitely always have to wear a pair of pants underneath. So, I returned that pair and decided a last ditch effort to get the 2X which thankfully fits. It's a little weird because now that there's definitely enough room for my behind, the thighs seem a little snug, but not enough that I can't wear workout pants underneath, but just thought it'd be a little more room there you know to coincide with the size of my butt. However, I love the quality of the pants and definitely think these will keep me warm trudging through the snow or skiing. I dropped a star off only because I had to call twice to customer service because they said my package had been delivered when I never ever got it. (Unless I have a neighbor that only wanted to steal only this item more than once...lol). It was through AMZL and not the regular UPS, USPS, or FedEx both times when it was never delivered. When I did receive the packages, it was shipped through UPS.
