HIKEOUT PANTS W

These fit great for actual trail use—the tapered cut moves with me on climbs, but I still had room for knee-high gaiters. The wind-blocking fabric really shone on an exposed ridge, and they breathed well enough that I didn’t overheat coming down.

The wind-blocking TEXASHIELD CORE fabric held up nicely on a breezy ridge, and the tapered cut didn’t snag on rocks when I bent down for handholds. They breathe well enough that I didn’t overheat on the climb back up, so these are my new go-to for day hikes.

I’ve been on three long hikes in these pants and the stretchy fabric really does move with you—no binding at all. The fabric breathes well on warm climbs and the wind-blocking layer was a lifesaver on the exposed ridge. Exactly what I needed for active days on the trail.
