Scorpion Women's Hellina Pants
I was extremely skeptical about the size being so far from normal I could not believe I would ever take a medium but decided to order as recommended. I am size 2 waist and size 4 hip -- they are terrific! Much less bulk than some other brands and a waist adjustment unlike I've found before. Thank You Scorpion and Thank You Motorcycle Superstore for posting these comments for others to benefit.

Love these!
Love these pants! Originally ordered a small, and they were true to size. However, I decided I wanted to be able to wear over jeans and went up to a medium. Perfect! Plus the pants have an adjustable waist so I can also wear them alone or over shorts in the summer. Still a good fit.

Scorpion Hellina Pants
Before I purchased these I had gotten a pair of women's flex pants and even though the flex pants were warmer it wasn't hard to decide to keep the Scorpion’s instead. The fit is much better on these pants. They don't bunch up at the waist or the knees when you are sitting on the bike which is super important for riding comfort. It has pockets which is a huge plus and the length was perfect for me (which means these might not be so great for the taller than average females out there). Driving at night in 40 degree weather these pants kept me plenty warm and I still had room underneath for another layer of thermals if needed. I would highly recommend these pants. The size runs one size smaller than in the Nip/Tuck pants (I forget the actual name) and they are a little snug if you actually have hips. I am 5'3 and 125lbs and curves and the medium fit perfect.

Scorpion Hellina...everything you want and need
Purchased these for long-distance riding, and tested them on a 7000+ mile trip this summer. Ordered several brands before deciding on this one, including Tour Master (too heavy and bulky), Scorpion Bombshell (no pockets, not waterproof, made for looks over function), and Fieldsheer (kinda cheap feeling, bulky and just didn't like that material). The Scorpion Hellina fits great, and I am 5'8" and the length was good. They move well and feel good on the body. I did order a size up as suggested, and then was able to adjust the waist down a bit to fit me. Vents on legs provided air flow when necessary. Pants kept me warm in some 40 degree weather we were in, but of course they were warm in the 115 degree temps of Arizona, as anything would be (I did not take the liner with me on the trip, too much bulk and probably would never use it except long-term very cold weather). They are definitely water-proof, and what a plus not to have to pull off to gear up at the first sign of rain! I love this feature! Pockets are deep and hold key items safely and dryly. Armor is easily removed to wash. I do wear bike shorts underneath to increase comfort and length of wear between washes, and they go over these and other shorts I tried, but I doubt they would go over jeans. Overall a nice pant for highway riding, comfort, features and safety.

Scorpion - Women's Hellina Pants
I purchased the Large size pants and they fit great. I wear anything from a size 8 to 12; have a 28 inch waist but 40 inch hips, so the large works great for me. The waist adjustments make it very easy for me to get the fit right in the waist. I had to take out the hip pads because when I sat on my bike they were poking me in the ribs and were very uncomfortable. However, with the hip pads out, the pants are very comfortable.
The liner was far too warm, so I have only been using these pants without the liner in. It hasn't gotten warm yet so I am a bit concerned that these pants will be too hot for summer riding. I was able to easily replace the zipper in my Firstgear jacket with the zipper for the pants and it works great. Even thought I have a very short inseam the pants work fine, they are just a little bunched up around my boots, but the snap tabs at the bottom keep the pants from hanging over the heel of my boots.

Great Value
These pants are comfortable and have a nice fit. They are not as bulky as other riding pants so they look good as well. I wear a size 8 pant so I got size L. They fit perfect. Remember motorcycle pant sizing is off from regular clothes sizing. They have nice deep zippered pockets for personal item storage, and zippers with Velcro tabs so putting pants over boots is easy. I am riding in the very cool early-spring weather and they have kept me warm and dry. I recommend these pants!
