Absolutely in love with these. Use them for winter treks and rainy day walks with the dog. Also really comfy in the gym. I like slimmer fitting clothing so I returned the large and went with a medium which look and fit absolutely amazing. I’m 5’10 and 200lb athletic build. If you like a baggier fit you’ll want a large. If you want a slim clean aesthetic. Go a size down. In most other adidas pants I’m a large (like the Tiro sweats). But a large on this one was way too baggy. The medium is perfect.
Size: L (waist = 36") Love these hikers. Yes they are expensive but the fit and feel is very good. The cuff bottoms are much better than the straight bottoms as keep the much away if on the trails. The trouser zips down easy to the shorts and often wear these as they are. Bottoms have two side pockets and one leg pocket. There is no pocket on the back. A great addition to any wardrobe for walking, hiking etc. Used today in a 25km charity walk as shorts.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As a person who works out, I came to Adidas to save my woes in finding a zip off hiking pant that fit my upper legs. After trying numerous other brands and finding that no one seems to cater to gym-goers I had higher hopes for a sporting brand. And while these are a reasonable fit for someone who might hit the gym a few times a week and doesn't skip leg days, they are let down by the enormous waist and the inability to add a belt. I'm not sure why Adidas opted for an in-built belt that only starts from halfway around, when belt loops and letting my put my own on would have sufficed. It's a shame as it might have been finally something I could have dealt with (despite the clown like waist)
Bought these pants to play golf in on those days when I need shorts in the afternoon but long pants starting. The material is nice and they look good. The issues I have are 1. No back pockets 2. They run big in the waist and the built in half belt is useless for tightening the waist. 3. The legs zip off in a straight line but a flap over the zipper runs at an angle so the shorts look like the hem line is on a slant.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These adidas Water-Repellent Hiking Pants have quickly become my go-to for outdoor adventures. The fabric is lightweight and stretchy, giving me all the freedom I need on the trails. I love how the legs zip off to turn them into shorts—perfect when the weather changes. Plus, they're made with recycled materials, which is a big win. The water-repellent finish is a lifesaver in unexpected rain, and the extra pockets are super handy. Overall, they’re comfortable, practical, and eco-friendly, making them a great addition to my hiking gear.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Fantastic quality as always, I initially purchased the charcoal option but was so impressed I opted for these as well. I like the quirky angle just above the knee and the flash of black. On the other option the black is more pronounced like knee patches which is a nice touch of style - very on trend with outdoor hiking trousers. Fit is great but I would have liked them a little longer in the leg. They sit around my ankle and not below but its only a small issue. Im sad to say i have quite large thighs so the large worked well for me and iI didn't feel constricted and had ample room to move - again this is a personal issue. It says size up - but for me large was ok - I have a 34inch waist and fit was fine. Pockets are ok, no back pockets but I tend to use the cargo pockets more anyway. Overall a great buy and very adaptable piece of kit.
Maybe it was just how they fit me but the waist is a little loose and I wish they came up a little higher in the back as my under shirt kept coming untucked I wore them on a mild fall day, about 50 degrees and felt comfortable. They have a lot of stretch. The legs and cut fit great so a smaller size might not work for me but I am a little heavier so I went with an XL. For basic hiking and being outside they are good fit for myself
Great hiking pants! Had them on my wish list for ages. After reading all the comments about weird sizing decided to order two pairs size s and m and return one so I did and kept size small. Im 5’10 and weights 78-80kg. Adidas size chart says size medium fits up to 36 w which is so much when you 31-32w. Apart from this all good! Look forward to wear them on my montain adventures
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great fitting pants, size is accurate on charts. Very comfortable to wear in or outdoors. Versatile with zip off bottoms ideal for a number of different activities and weather conditions. Deep front pockets for storing a mobile or keys. Easy to tighten waste band for more comfortable wearing.
These pants are perfect for hiking, working, or just casually wearing around the house. They have a great zipper cargo pocket. As well as two deep pants pockets. The fabric is breathable and quite comfortable. I highly recommend them and will probably be buying other colors soon.
