Athleta Ponte Moto 2.0 Pants Review

---

 

We and our readers love Athleta. And not just love, but LOVE. They make some of the best clothing for travel, from dresses to basic tees to pants. Here, we’re focusing on their best pants for travel, starting with the most well-loved pair among our readers: the Ponte Moto 2.0 pants.

 

 

 

Ponte Moto 2.0

 

Style

 

The Athleta Ponte Moto 2.0 pant is the “getaway essential” for its sleek, sophisticated looks, 4-way stretch and ability to unpack ready to go. It’s a fitted style that fits like a legging with a mid rise and skinny leg.

One reader says, “I have these from last year and I love them. With a tunic and boots, they can look dressy, but with other tops, more casual. They’re also super comfy and they wash well.”

 

Comfort

 

The Ponte Flex fabric offers four-way stretch with a structured fit. They’re easy to move around in while still looking sleek.

One reader says, “I just bought these in December and took them on my trip to Europe. So comfy and they look great with tunic length sweaters.”

 

Durability

 

One of the best things about these pants is the durability. The fabric is wrinkle-resistant, so it stays smooth in your bag, they fit easily into a slim packing cube and hardly weigh anything at all. They are easy to care for and wash, making it a great pant for traveling with as you can hand wash it or toss it in a washing machine.

One reader says, “I bought these few weeks for for my work capsule wardrobe (I work in sports medicine, so I need to be professional but all be able to get down on the ground and be active). Worn them for 4 days without any sign of wear! Love them.”

 

 

 

Sizing

 

It can be difficult to know what size to get for a jegging style pant, as they sometimes run smaller than a normal pant. One reader says, “I think they run a little bit small so if you are in between sizes like I am, I’d size up,” while another adds, “They do run a bit small through the wais. I agree that sizing up is a good idea if you tend to be in between sizes.”

However, keep in mind that they offer a lot of stretch, with one reader sharing that they “ stretch in all the right places.”

 

Where to Wear Them

 

We love that these pants look dressy enough to wear to work while being comfy enough for travel. One reader says “they are perfect for work, travel, anything!” It’s important to note that these aren’t as thin as leggings, as they’re more a mid-weight fabric.

One reader says, “I find them to be pretty thick – more like jeggings,” while another adds, “They are medium/heavier weight. They should be good in spring, fall, and winter but I probably won’t wear them in summer.”

While they may not be the best for summer travel, they’re perfect year-round for airplane travel! One reader says, “I LOVE these Athleta pants. No bagging, sagging, or stretching out. They will be my airline and train pants for Europe,” while another adds, “I agree they are great airplane pants for long haul flights!”
