HIKEOUT ZIP OFF PANTS W

I was a bit worried the zip-off seams would bunch up, but the tapered fit actually stays smooth against my legs while scrambling over rocks. Even in a stiff breeze, the fabric blocks the wind without making me sweaty on the climb down.

The tapered fit is exactly what I wanted—it moves with me on climbs without feeling baggy, and the stretchy fabric breathes nicely on warmer days. Took these on a windy ridge hike and they blocked the gusts perfectly.

These are my new go-to hiking pants. The tapered fit doesn’t feel restrictive at all, and the fabric breathes so well on warmer days. I really appreciate that they block the wind without feeling stiff.
