Women's Pants: Deals

Choose a pant fit

• Standard: consistent width from top to bottom
• Slim: tighter to the leg
• Relaxed or wider: fits loosely throughout the thighs, knees and calves

What material do you prefer?

• Synthetic
• Polyester: affordable, stretchy, doesn't wrinkle
• Nylon: durable, abrasion-resistant, less stretch
• Spandex: stretchy, moves easily, less breathable
• Natural fibers
• Cotton: durable, breathable, dries slowly
• Wool: stretchy, durable, odor-resistant, pricier
• Hemp: durable, renewable, can feel rougher

Consider additional features like:

• Moisture wicking: moves moisture (namely, sweat) to the outer surface while also drying quickly
• Pockets: help carry items you want to have accessible
• Sun-protective fabric: a higher UPF rating provides better sun protection
• Convertible: can be worn full-length or as shorts
• Insect repellent: pants treated with insect-repellent coatings can help keep pests off

Waterproof vs. water-resistant

• A waterproof jacket keeps out hard, driving rain
• A water-resistant jacket can handle light rain for a brief time and is more breathable

Windproof vs. wind-resistant

• Any waterproof jacket is also windproof to shield you in stormy weather
• A wind-resistant jacket will offer much lighter protection

Hard shell vs. soft shell

Like a waterproof and windproof rain jacket, a hard shell will offer the most protection, but less breathability than a soft shell.

Do you need insulation?
For very cold rainy weather, consider an insulated shell, which will have down or synthetic fill for warmth while being waterproof and windproof.
