These are great!
I initially purchased these for yoga however these have become a favorite for travel. Odor is never a problem. Comfortable for outdoor activities. Pocket is placed well and is secure. The wool is never scratchy and has worn very well with weekly use. I admit I purchased backups over the past few months.

Awesome
I purchased these pants about 6 months ago. I'm 5'7" wear a meduum and they fit just over my knee. The capris are super comfortable and great for hiking, lounging and running. I would definitely buy another pair of these. It has a flattering fit. I own many Icebreaker pieces and this one is definitely one of my favourites.

Excellent Running Partner
I use this pant mostly for running. No smell even after three runs. The pocket is very handy for keys and ID card. However, I tried hot yoga with it. I thought it was too warm. Moreover, the poses caused piling of the pant. I would not recommend doing Bikram with it. Though, it is perfect for everything else. BYW, the pant flares a little at the bottom unlike the picture.

Excellent pants
I bought these pants for my wife. She's a yoga teacher and a mother of two young boys. She loves the pants for yoga and chasing the kids. They are comfortable, fit great, and look good. Most importantly, these pants don't retain body odor. The pocket isn't in a great spot for yoga and pilates, but it's great for cardio. These pants are recommended.

My favorite running companion
... besides my dog.
The fit is superb. They don't ride up, and are thin and comfy.
Being a muscular calved individual I find the fit of this Swift Capri superior to Icebreaker's other capri, the Rush Capri (which is too tight below my knee and fall down over a workout). The Swift Capri moves better with my body, and does not restrict movement at my calves.
I'd prefer the Swift's be a touch tighter at the waist, and have a higher rise.

Super everything pants
The description of these capris becoming "part of your daily ritual" definitely is true. I bought these online in the grey colour in XS (I'm 5'6", 115lbs) and, like another reviewer has noted, the fit is a bit different than the model suggests. I also have the Swift pants, and these are cut quite a bit wider in the leg than I expected. They're also not "mid-calf" on me; they fit quite similarly to how they are on the model. So, for the first try-on, I wasn't super impressed and wasn't sure how much I would wear these. Turns out my fears were unfounded — I've worn these pretty constantly since I purchased them. Like all IB products, the wool is superb — multiple wears with no stink or itchiness. The 260 french terry fabric is my favourite IB wool knit, too.
The only thing that I haven't worn these for is running. I'm a pretty slight person, and the XS in these seems a titch larger than the XS in the other IB bottoms I have. I'm pretty sure that these would start to fall down if I did a real run workout in them — to that end, I'd suggest that IB consider added a subtle drawcord to the waist. I've purchased bottoms from other companies that have an elasticized cord, a stretchy shoelace almost, that is looped through the inside of the waistband. The cord is sewn a circle, so there are no errant strings but you can knot up the cord to make the waistband tighter when necessary. It would be a really great solution for those of us who find the pants a bit too baggy for high-intensity activity.
But, yes, apart from that, these crops are genius. Another IB hit!
