Sounds great except for the long legs part. I don't have those

REI's Sahara convertible hiking pants in women's are still good pants with a proper fit. I'm on my 3rd pair (#3 was on sale for $20 a couple months ago). I ignore women's fashionable pants. I've found that Men's Dockers in 30x32 fit me perfectly, so those are my normal pants for the office.
Oil is good, grease is better.

Ah, see, I love the capris at REI. But I live in a place where it's shorts weather 8 months out of the year, and I prefer capris to shorts. I like them for riding a bike, I like them for gardening and hanging out with my kid, and all around I am a big fan of capris. My favorites are Mountain Hardwear, Prana, and an REI branded pair with articulated knees that they discontinued a while ago (but not before I got several pairs).

I love capris, too. But everything I saw at REI this week was the cutsie kind with the gratuitous embroidery and faux "wear" and little dangly gew-gaws all over. (a little embroidery is good, too much is just too much)
Very frustrating.
(and I needed a pair of pants. Even Isis pants didn't fit me, and ususally I can count on Isis!)
I didn't see the Royal Robbins clam-digger capris that REI has had for the last few years. I'm hoping RR didn't discontinue them, cuz those were great for work and bike and I'm about ready for a new pair. Capris are warm enough for our cool summers, and they cover my honkin' varicose vein.
