Freewheel Ride Pant - Women's

Run very large

I like the material and the overall design but ordered the size that should have fit based on the size chart. They are waaayyy to big and baggy. I would exchange them for a smaller size but no returns or exchanges allowed. I’ll probably try them a couple more times but might end up giving them to someone that they’ll fit.

I’m very happy with these MTB pants. The whole Freewheel line is great, some of my favorite clothing for this sport that I’ve tried. On top of all the technical reasons to love these, I appreciate that OR didn’t “shrink it and pink it” for their women’s products.

Fave riding pants

Best riding pants. They look nice on too. I thought they looked short on the model, but they are the perfect length for me. The waist is a bit bigger than I was expecting but the adjustments on the sides are comfortable. Now I want them in another colour!

Great pants.

Thank you OR for making a great pair of pants. They are a great blend of comfort and protection. I mostly ride long backcountry, trail, and enduro here in Alaska. They are my go to pants for everything from 85F and sunny to 40F with light rain. Protect from branches, mosquitoes, briars,…. But still are comfortable and breath. The most perfect MTB pants I’ve found in >40 years of mountain biking.

Best MTB pants ever!!!

These are the best fitting mountain bike pants I've ever had (and I've tried alot of different brands). The zippers for the knee pads are a really cool feature too!

Best Women's MTB Pant Available

I have shopped and felt many options for MTB Pants for women - Patagonia, FOX, REI, etc. These by far are the best fitting and best featured. The material is durable/tough without feeling bulky. They are exactly what I was looking for. Trying them on they fit perfectly as we. I am 5'4 135#. I wouldn't hesitate recommending these to any ladies looking for a pair of pants to ride in.

Nice pants, not quite the right fit

I returned this product before using it

These pants seem really well designed and well made but I think they are not quite the right fit for me. I don't like higher waisted pants or shorts when riding. With my body position forward on a bike, a constrictive waistband feels tight and uncomfortable. Also having a waist constriction closer to my diaphragm can restrict breathing. I would call the rise of these pants mid-waisted as it falls right on my belly button, but I prefer a waistband to sit lower to allow for the best movement and free breathing while in a riding position.

Small!

I returned this product before using it

I bought a 2 in these, equivalent to my jeans size. They were tight on my thighs and loose in the waist. I have a very curvy bottom. The waist cinches were insufficient in a 2 so think buy with caution. They seem great, but not for me.

the leg zips are awesome

Good fit and function. The zips on the bottom of the leg to get your knee pads on and off are the greatest.

Even better than the shorts!

I've put it through the wringer

I'm a huge fan of the OR Freewheel shorts, but I prefer to wear pants for everything except XC rips and 100+ degree days, so when the pants came out, I had to give them a try. Knowing the fit of the shorts, I went up a size to accommodate burlier knee pads, and that was definitely the right move! The waist adjustment cinches down plenty so that I don't notice the difference in waist size, and I don't notice any movement restrictions either. I have A LOT of mountain bike pants, and these by far are my favorites! My only wish is that they had hand pockets too for those extra chilly days or to hold my lift pass.
