HIKEOUT PANTS M

The wind didn't stand a chance on today's ridge walk, and the fabric stayed completely breathable even when I was working up a sweat. The tapered fit never bunched up awkwardly around the knees on scrambles, which is my usual complaint with hiking pants.

The stretch fabric moved with me on steep climbs without any restriction, and the tapered fit kept them from flapping in the breeze. Really comfortable for a full day out on the trail.

The wind-blocking layer on these is the standout for me—I wore them on a ridge trail with gusts and stayed comfortable without overheating. The tapered fit also feels natural when scrambling, no bunching at the knees.
