They are really warm and not itchy.
I feel like they fit a bit weird in the crotch area... but only when I sit down.
They would definitely need to be hemmed for vertically challenged people and may fit funny on people with bigger thighs
I love them though... just depends on your body typeI love these pants more than any pants I have bought in years. They are warm, comfortable and washable. They do not stretch out over a week of wearing. Casual but nice enough to wear on errands. I found them the perfect length. Icebreaker does not seem to engage in vanity sizing so they run slightly small: I generally take a 6 in pants, sometimes 8, or 28-29 in various jeans, and these in a medium were perfect, none too large and would not have fit well any smaller. They are amazingly cozy. Once I got them I did not want to wear anything else in cool or cold weather.
I will buy as much Icebreaker as I can afford!

I was looking forward to getting these trousers I ordered from the USA as they are impossible to get in the UK. I already got the Villa Pants in XS and they fit perfectly so I ordered the XS in the lily so that I could have a slightly warmer pair of trousers for really cold days.However, the XS felt too tight initially. I am only a UK size 8 (I believe this would be a size 4 in the US?)
The low cut waist band felt tight, as well as tight on the bum and clingy on the thighs.
I guess I had been expecting a thicker version of the villa pants although the description does say they are a snug fit and the picture shows them with a lower waist.
I was disappointed initially with the tight fit but it would be a hassle and expensive to send them back from the UK so I decided to follow advice from another review and see if they loosen with wear.
I have now been wearing them for two days and they are actually very comfortable. I thought the tight waist band would dig in but it doesn''t. I have been wearing them with a tunic to cover my bum and they look great. They make my legs look skinny. I cycled to work in them and didn''t need cycle clips because the kick flare is small enough that the trousers Don''t flap around in the bike chain. They were very comfortable to cycle in and yet looked smart enough for work with the tunic. I have worn them all day today as well and taken my kids for a cycle with out feeling frumpy when we got off to go to a cafe.
The reason I have given them four stars not five is because I do think the waist band could do with being a little looser by about half to one inch as it''s not very flattering under my mummy belly. Otherwise I love the trousers and their versatility.
