Coolibar UPF 50+ Women's Petra Wide Leg Pants - Sun Protective

Took a chance on these pants when they were on sale. They are super lightweight, with an almost silky feel. I’m petite height and the length is good when the bottoms are tied up. I haven’t worn in the heat yet, but I’m pretty sure they’ll be perfect. With the UPF rating, no sunscreen is needed. They are cute and comfortable. I sized up to a medium. Normally a 4 or a 6 Petite, for reference.

These pants are very comfortable - light & loose. If you're 5'6"ish or under, they may be too long for you. I've worn these in weather that is F90-100+, in both dry heat and muggy, and kept as cool as you can in that sort of weather. I don't think I've been in direct sun more than an hour or two in these pants, but I didn't get a hint of even tan, definitely no burn. It is shocking, in fabric so thin.When temps dropped to around 50F, I've worn leggings underneath and it kept me surprisingly warm, and static-free.I wash them on delicate and line-dry. They dry very quickly.It may seem that it's a lot to pay for such a thin fabric, but it seems pretty resilient, but there's nothing like them. Most light, comfortable, sun-blocking pants and skirts don't breathe very well. Most other fabrics are light and flowy, but you still build up heat. Not these pants. I've been looking for truly comfortable, light, sun-blocking, and attractive pants or skirts for literal YEARS. These are the first that fit the bill. I've bought them in multiple colors.

I LOVE these pants. However, they are one of the most stolen pieces of clothing that I own!. They are Lightweight and the spf is great..

I bought these for a summer trip to Italy with 100+ degree weather. The fabric is as advertised feels airy and soft. A lot of the other UPF 50 clothing I tried including Coolibar's own ZnO(TM) and REI definitely didn't feel airy and weren't as soft.The waist is very adjustable with good-quality elastic and a nice drawstring. The main sizing seems to be in the pant width. I'm 5'7" and 135 lb. Amazon recommended a size medium but the size medium pant width ballooned and it looked I was wearing clown pants. If I had bigger thighs, I'd have kept the medium.I then bought a size small. Even in size small, the pant width is very wide like flood jeans but works with the style of the pants. The white fabric is semi-sheer so I wear it with white underwear. IMO not a big deal.I also bought two other patterns directly from Coolibar that had sold out on Amazon. The patterns disguise underwear better but it's still something I wear with white underwear.

Bought them as a gift.she loves their lightweight, silky feel and UPF material.

Too thin, material was see through and pants were extremely long. Still waiting on my refund after 13 business days. Very frustrating.

Edited review:After I had already requested a refund, I traveled somewhere with a lot of sun exposure and had nothing else to wear, so I decided to give these a shot. They turned out to be a lifesaver. I have no doubt that I wouldn't have lasted as long on the hike without being covered. They are very lightweight, which threw me off initially, but they do not feel flimsy. I feel bad that I left such a negative initial review. I do still think they are rather expensive, but if you can afford them and you know that you'll be somewhere where the sun is intense, I think these are still worth the price.Original review:I am a big fan of the Coolibar brand. Unfortunately, I ordered these pants in white, and they were so incredibly sheer. Additionally, the fabric is thin yet does not feel like it would be very breathable. Also, I bought these because it says that you can tie them at the bottom, but I did not realize that you literally tie up the fabric. I thought there would at least be a string. Overall, I did not find these to be worth the money and I will be returning them :(. Hopefully Coolibar will come up with a version with slightly thicker fabric and drawstrings at the bottom.

I'm going on a beach vacation and needed attractive UV protected clothing over my bathing suit while lounging on a beach chair. I bought these pants in white and am thrilled with the lightweight fabric and well made product! I am 5'3' and weight 165 and the medium is perfect. They are quite long but can be tied at the ankle for harem look. They will look stylish without making me look like a mummy! Thank you Coolibar!!!
