    Pant sizing for women?

    This question is to all the women out there. My girlfriend wants to get the dye pants or something similar, but out here, not many stores sell pants or anything like that, so trying them on might not be an option.


    I was just wondering what a girl who is between a 5 and 7 would wear for a pant size in terms of the DYE pants. Maybe Capo could give an approximation?


    Thanks for any help.

      Because paintball pants come in men's sizes your best bet is to get a tape measure and measure your girlfriend's waist. Then use that measurement when choising the size pants to get for her. 25" perhaps? I'm really not sure what it would be.

          i'm like a 4 or a 6 in pants which i guess equivalates to a a 5 or 7 in juniors sizing but i took a small(28-34 on the tag) in the dye pants, and i still have room to spare. With JT pants i just got a 30 because the extra room gave me the extra length that the 28 or 29 wouldn't of.

              Yeah...

              The big problem is getting pants that are LONG enough. My GF is 5'8" and skinny, so anything that fits her waist is halfway up her calves it seems like.

              I would guess that if your GF is a 5-7 she'd want a small. If she's 5'6" or shorter she'll probably be good on length, if taller you may want to go mediums and get duct tape to pear down the waist or something. Also look for pants that have adjustable straps on the side - my Nexed mediums are big on my waist, but once I pull in those adjustable straps they're PURRRfect.

              No substitute for trying them on though.

                  I am 5'6" tall with a 24-25" waist and a size 5/6 in regular pants fit fine. I wear a size XSmall in the Dye 2002 Core pants. I recently tried on a pair of Drexxus pants and the size Small fit beautifully.
