These pants are solid hiking pants with some cool features and a nice fit. Fit: I am normally a 4 short. These 4 regulars aren’t overly long on me. They are more flattering than some hiking pants I’ve tried in the past. They stretch well and don’t restrict movement, and the waist is comfortable. Fabric: the fabric feels pretty durable and also has a nice stretch to it. I think they will hold up well to brush without being overly heavy and hot. They seem to breathe pretty well, and the grey color is nice. Features: having zippers on the pockets is nice to not lose stuff. The rear pockets aren’t as flattering looks wise, but are more functional. Overall a solid hiking pant!
These pants are great. I really am looking forward to using these for some hikes I have coming up. The sizing is good. I’d say the waist fits to true to size but the overall style is more relaxed in the hips and thighs which make mobility very good. The quality of the material and double stitching will help these pants hold up to heavy wear! There is a slight taper in the legs which keeps pans from dragging. The zippers on the pockets and the size of the pockets was actually really great. There are extra pockets on the back also that will be very useful for many items. I used it for a snack and trail map. The material thickness feels high quality and well made. I wore these on a very warm day and felt like the pants breathed and I didn’t overheat. I was also able to roll them up and because of the leg taper they stayed put.
I hike on a weekly basis and often in the summer need lightweight pants to keep the poison ivy off of me. These fit the bill. I love the pockets. There are so many and they all fit my cell phone! It was a hot humid day on my first longer hike with them. They were breathable enough that I didn’t get hot. The only odd thing was the sweat around my knees collected and I just looked sweaty. Not a huge deal but some folks may not like that. Only other thing is the waist has no elastic and has a button zip closure. Fine for me but some don’t like that.
These pants feel and fit great. Love the crotch gusset and articulated knees. Good pockets- not too many. Good beltloops. No stupid gimmicks. Quality sewing.
