[ I have a small waist and wide hips, and have a really hard time finding pants that fit. These do! I bought them in every color. Very comfortable. The cuffs can be opened up( adjustable draw cord), so you can wear them as a a regular wide leg pant or gathered at the bottom. They 're very flattering in the wide leg config for me.

[ Love these pants!! I ’ m 5 ’ 5 and 135lbs with an athletic body type and I struggle to find outdoor gear that fits my legs and waist properly. I purchased the XS and these fit like a glove/ feel like great quality. They are a little long on me and I ’ d definitely purchase more colors if they can out with a petite size. However, if you cinch the bottom, they are the right length, but it ’ d be nice to be able to wear them both ways.

[ I bought these based off the reviews. The reviews are spot on. These are great warm weather hiking pants. They are your typical/fancy plastic pants, so they will burn, tear and fail in time, but I knew this going into the purchase. Great cut for hiking boots. Not too sloppy around the ankles/footwear

Tanv
[ Fits well, a little on tighter side but loosens up when hiking. The fabric is interesting, it ’s somewhat softer than Patagonia Quandary pants( my other favorite). Only concern is the fabric seems to soak up moisture a bit more than I expected on damp days.
5
Creepydude
[ Used them during a week long backpacking trip in Yosemite. They did phenomenally going up and down the mountain. Lower warm elevations were no problem due to its breathability and high cold elevations were no problem once moving but easily fit some long John ’s underneath. The only down side is the zippered right leg pocket. It didn ’ t rain on my trip but I tested the water shedding in the shower. The zipper is a shire place for water to seep in during a downpour. Still love them though!

OMG, these are perfect pants for winter activity. Not a ton of insulation, but just enough for high intensity activity when it ’s really cold or mild activity when it ’s a little cold. And the cargo pocket is tall enough for a non- Max iPhone( unlike the dang shorts!). Love the stretch, love the pockets, the feel, the construction, everything. My favorite pants for winter.

Absolutely! Here's a glowing review designed to catch the seller's eye: ★★★★★ These pants changed the way I travel! I 'd always struggled with bulky luggage and uncomfortable plane outfits. Then, I found these travel pants and everything clicked! Here's why:* Wrinkle- resistant and chic enough to wear out. 12- hour flight? No problem!* Lightweight: I am always looking for something that is lightweight, easy to pack and re durable not to mention breathable. And these pants were the perfect balance.* Style for days: They look amazing with both sneakers and boots. Honestly, these might be the most life- changing pants I own. If you 're a traveler, grab a pair( or three!) You wo n't regret it!

Great improvements from last year. I liked the trail sender shorts from last year and these improve on the previous version in several ways. First, the best thing about the previous version is the ultra lightweight ripstop fabric and how well it performs in hot weather- the only comparable pants I ’ ve found in weight are the Patagonia Terrebonne joggers, and these are somehow feel even cooler in hot( 90+ F) humid weather. The new 2024 version feels like it has the same fit, but improves on some annoyances from last year: 1. The waistband is slightly elastic, which is more comfortable from previous near 0 stretch 2. The pockets are deeper and the zip pocket has been moved from the front thigh to the side hip. This is a big improvement where your phone no longer barely fits in the pocket or runs up against your hipbone when sitting 3. The construction feels higher quality and more premium. Too early to tell on how durability will compare but definitely feels like it ’ ll perform better Very happy with all the changes made!

[ I received the Marmot Arch Rock Convertible UPF 50 Pants for free in exchange for an honest review, and I couldn ’ t be happier with them! When I got them, I immediately thought they ’ d be perfect for my mother- in- law, who loves hiking and travels to all sorts of unique destinations. After trying them on, she said they were incredibly comfortable and lightweight. She wore them on a hike, and afterwards, she mentioned that they were some of the most comfortable pants she ’s ever worn. The convertible design is a great feature, especially for fluctuating weather during hikes. The UPF 50 rating is a bonus, offering solid sun protection while still being breathable. Overall, we definitely recommend these pants to anyone who enjoys outdoor activities. They ’ re functional, comfortable, and perfect for any adventure!

When selecting desert hiking pants, consider features such as moisture-wicking fabric, UV protection, and breathability to keep you comfortable in hot conditions. Look for lightweight materials that allow for easy movement and ventilation. Additionally, pockets for storage and adjustable waistbands can enhance functionality during your hikes.
Desert hiking pants are specifically designed to handle the unique challenges of arid environments. They typically offer enhanced sun protection, are made from lighter materials for better airflow, and often include features like quick-drying capabilities. Regular hiking pants may not provide the same level of comfort and protection in extreme heat.
The best materials for desert hiking pants include lightweight synthetic fabrics such as nylon or polyester, which provide durability and moisture-wicking properties. Some pants may also incorporate blends that enhance breathability and stretch, allowing for greater mobility. Look for fabrics that offer UV protection to shield your skin from the sun.
Fit is crucial when selecting desert hiking pants, as it affects comfort and mobility during hikes. A good fit allows for a full range of motion without being too loose or restrictive. Consider options with adjustable features, such as waistbands or cuffs, to ensure a secure and comfortable fit that accommodates layering if needed.
Yes, desert hiking pants can be versatile enough for use in other environments, especially those that require lightweight and breathable clothing. They are suitable for warm-weather hiking, camping, and even casual outings. However, consider the specific weather conditions and terrain, as some features may be more beneficial in desert settings than in cooler climates.
To maintain your desert hiking pants, always check the care label for specific washing instructions, as many are designed to be machine washable. It's important to avoid fabric softeners, which can affect moisture-wicking properties. Regularly inspect for wear and tear, especially after rugged use, to ensure they remain in good condition for future hikes.
