Guide Review - Lands' End Performance Sport Capri Pants

Lands' End promotes these pants as a great item for wearing when using fitness walking poles, also known as Nordic walking.

Comfortable, Stretchy, Wicking Fabric

The active knit fabric is 88% polyester and 12% spandex. It is soft and stretches in all directions, giving you unrestricted movement. The fabric wicks away moisture. The fabric is so soft and comfortable that I wanted to wear them all day.

Active Cut

The waistband is wide, flat and meant to be worn at the hip. I wished it had a bit more elastic or a drawstring to adjust the fit. I love the fact that these come in petite, regular and plus sizes.

Pockets

The 2009 version has two front hip pockets.

Overall, I really liked these capris and they are great for outdoors walking in spring and autumn, or for indoor gym workouts.
