Are these pants warm enough for winter hiking?

They work well as a midlayer or for mild cold-weather activity. For freezing wind or wet conditions, wear them under a shell.

Do they have pockets?

This version is listed without pockets. Check the product photos before buying if pockets matter to you.

The listed inseam is 30.5 inches with tapered cuffed ankles. Taller shoppers may find the length short.

How should I wash them?

Machine wash cold and tumble dry low. Wash inside out to reduce pilling.

Do they run true to size?

They have a regular fit with an elastic drawstring waist, so most buyers take their usual size. Size up if you want a looser layer over base pants.
