My New Winter Standard
I loved the previous version of these pants. The updated version is even better. These pants excel at temperatures around 20° and lower. They keep you warm, yet they also release the sweat build up that causes chills/discomfort. I always ran in wool before and the vigor waffle design has a similar effect. WARNING: do not bushwhack in these pants, stay on groomed trail. They will collect burrs and rip when in contact with gnarly gnarl. Cover these pants with a shell to protect them when going in deep.

Feels So Good
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I wish they made blankets out of this material. So nice!

Ugh...
Leg fabric: STRETCHY! Waistband fabric: STRETCHY! Waistband thread sewing waistband onto legs: 1000% NOT STRETCHY Stop changing just because you can. Literally every measurement in your fit guide says I'm a men's medium, but I can't pull the waist passed my thighs with out ripping out the stitching because IT DOES NOT STRETCH. Dumb.

Running leggings for a wide range of conditions
I wear the Vigor Bottoms for most of my winter running here in Seattle. They are comfortable for temperatures from the high 20s up to the low 50s, in either dry or wet conditions. Which is great because we get all of the above during Seattle winters, sometimes within the same week. The leg pocket can easily fit my cell phone if I need to carry it, as well as an ID and credit card.

No usable size option for shorter legs
There is absolutely no usable size option for people in small size. I take a mens size small in technical bottoms, for all brands, and have never had a fit problem in any brand of outdoor apparel. I followed OR's advice and went a size up, to medium, not too worried about them being slightly loose. They arrived, I went to try them on, and they wouldn't even make it past my thighs, not a chance of being able to wear them. I have well developed legs, but not huge by any stretch. OR has joined a trend of making waist bands super tiny. I have to rethink who I will buy technical tight, bottoms, and base layers from. Super disappointed.

Size up for sure! NO stretch in waistband
Make sure you size up. I'm typically a 33" waist, but I went to a large! Very comfortable light grid fleece material, the ONLY downside to these is that the waistband has NO stretch. It would otherwise be an extremely comfortable piece. Defies logic why it isn't stretchy!

Waistline is poorly designed.
Pay attention to the note to buy a size larger. I didn't see that, and got a large. Very uncomfortable. The waste is about a 34, definitely not a large.

Don't Buy! The waist sizing is totally off.
As other reviews have stated, the sizing of the waist on this product is way off. I'm a 29 waist and I cannot get these pants on without them tearing a bit. The waist has no give at all. I'm 69 inches tall, 125 lbs, 29 inch waist and size S was too small. I honestly don't know who can fit these, I'm so disappointed in OR.

Waist is small
These feel so nice when they are on but getting them on was a challenge. The waist is really really tight to get over my hips. Once on it's not too tight and the legs fit really well. I can't get a large because they will definitely be too long then. For reference I am a 32 waist in every pair of pants I own.

Waist runs small
Nice baselayer; but the medium is too small for my 32" waist. They were nice and warm on my cold elk hunt in the mountains of Colorado.
