The material is like a twill, woven rather than knit which gives a casual vs active wear appearance. I ended up sizing down for a better fit. I am a solid medium size 8, definitely thought the medium was closer to a large. Added a couple waistband pictures to show the difference. Small on top, medium on bottom, medium in 2 other bottoms to compare. Overall, love them and want more colors!

Pants were comfortable and warm.

So comfortable and love the pockets- truly useful pockets! Quickly becoming a staple of my wardrobe.

So comfortable and soft. Great for flying. As comfy as leggings but more style. Didn’t bag at the knee after an 8hr international flight and I felt presentable not disheveled. Washed well and with just a light iron we’re perfect. With nice boots went from travel to nice restaurant.

I really like the fit of these pants. They look good and comfortable fit. Perhaps my skin has gotten use to the softness of high content merino fabric, so the 50/50 blend takes a little getting used to. However, despite the "rough" or sturdy-feeling fabric (it's not actually very rough, it's just not merino soft), there was still quite a bit of pilling in certain spots (specifically where your legs rub together, not just thighs but if you cross your legs a lot or have a narrow walking stance).

They were a little bit warm for a July 4th picnic, but not bad.

I was hoping these could turn out be decent hiking pants, but I'm a little worried they'll rub thin fairly quickly if I participate in more physical activities.

So, I'd say they aren't really "longhaul" but they'll still get a lot of use.
