HIKEOUT 3/4 PANTS W

I was worried these would be too tight around the thighs, but the tapered fit really does move with you on steep climbs. The fabric feels light and airy even when pushing a fast pace, and they dried quickly after a stream crossing.

The fabric breathes so well on a hot trail that I forgot I was wearing them, and the stretch moves with me on every scramble. Wind didn’t cut through either, which was a nice bonus. These are my new go-to for long day hikes.

The tapered fit means zero flapping in gusts, and even after scrambling over rocks for a few hours the stretchy fabric still felt like I wasn't wearing pants at all. They breathe just right for a warm uphill push, too.
