I wasn't sure what to expect but I wanted woollen pants so I decided to give them a try. They are very comfortable. I knew they would be short (I'm 5'10"/1.78) but 7/8th can work well. I mainly was uncertain about how they would fit, I usually wear 1X and I have a big tum (thyroid, post menupausal & 3 5kg/11 pound babies). But they are very very comfortable, the high waist works well for me and isn't too tight because the material is so stretchy, I love the pockets and the seams in front (which isn't a style I like much) are not too present. So I am very glad I ordered them and would buy them again in other colours.
