[ Perfect for an outer layer in spring or fall when biking, walking or just to provide a layer against wind when watching the kids play sports. So far have proven to be durable.

I ’ m walking with my dog even rainy day so wear this pants is grateful not wet! This size is perfect fit me also. Usually hard fit short my legs but it good on me. Love it

5 Juhlski
This was a replacement pair for my old ones that had done me a good 10 years' service before the left zipper slide broke. I am 5' 2 '' and really appreciate Marmot making full- zip pants in `` short. '' Because I live in an arid region, I use these mostly in winter for backcountry ski touring, layered over a pair of thermal bottoms. Aside from my unfortunate experience with the previous zipper slide, I do like the robustness of the zipper teeth. The water repellency of the fabric needs to be renewed every once in a while with a spray- on product. I have never been wet on the inside. Good fit, relaxed legs( 5' 2 '', 125 lb. wear M- short). My inseam runs around 28- 29. ''

5 Abbey
Just moved to Juneau AK and boy is it wet. I knew within in a week that not having rain pants wasn ’ t an option. I got these for their short length and full zip capabilities to put on and off with my boots. Would definitely recommend and they hold up to the rain for sure

5 Nonnie Dee
I wore these walking the Camino del Norte in the pouring rain. They kept me warm and dry and were super light to pack.

Great fit. Great stretch. Great pockets And great length for tall girls.

5 Charlene J.
My fourth style of trousers and these are my favorite!! Long raw hem means I get to choose the length! One pocket stretchy and one pocket G1000... makes for sleek storage and style. My husband says the seat makes my fanny look fantastic. So stylish and functional! The move with my body do n't need a belt or constant adjustment. Durable where they need to be. True to size.

5 Ashley V.
Leggings are the only thing that I have ever been able to wear hiking/ backpacking until now. Although leggings are great to wear while hiking, they are sometimes not durable enough for parts of the trail, but they were the only pant that came up high enough on my waist and had room for my hips and thighs. The Nikka, however, does both AND they add much more durability and confidence to my hikes. They also have bigger pockets which allow more room for storage. The stretch fabric through the midsection and thighs make rock scrambling and uneven terrain much more comfortable than a regular hiking pant as well.

5 Jamie H.
These are the best pants I own for outdoor use. I love the fabric, fit, and the pockets! I was concerned about sizing. For reference I wear size 30 in the Levi 721 High rise skinny jeans and usually find jeans do n't fit my larger butt( gape at waistband). The size 40 fits me great. I also own the womens regular Vidda Pro's and prefer the fit of these pants.

5 Isabelle S.
So excited to finally have a pair of technical trousers that fits both my inseam and my hips! I 've struggled for years finding the right fit, and always had the issue of the pant seat being to tight. The Nikka Curved goes a little bit higher up on your hip, for me it sits at my true waist- immediately making these really nice and flattering. I love brining these on my spring and fall hikes around the North Shore in Minnesota.

5 alainaafricano
Finally! An amazing pair of black technical parachute pants. I ’ m 5 ’ 6 ” 155lb and normally a 8/10 or 29/30 waist pant. I ordered a M and a L to see which ones I liked best and ended up keeping both. The M is definitely more practical for hikes since it ’s less fabric but the L has a more balloon leg effect that is just really cool and oversized. The material is a bit thicker than I thought. I wish there was an additional side pocket but otherwise these are great!

I have been looking for hiking pants that are high waisted. I love these pants. So comfortable and the sizing chart was on the spot.

5 Marie
Nice stretch and fit and great quality! Kindly request that they be made in lighter colors. I live in a high tick area and it's important to remove as many ticks as possible before they make it to the skin and its MUCH easier on light colored fabric.

5 Yvonne
[ These are the perfect pants for me, long enough, I love that it is high waisted you could barely find these anymore, and the waist have stretched to it, which makes it fabulous

[ These pants have the pockets you ’ ve always wanted! They ’ re deep, zippered and not at all bulky. The side pocket fits my cellphone just fine( it ’s not a huge phone). The fabric is light, stretchy and attractive, not droopy or sloppy. I ’ m 5 ’ 9 ” and the regular length was perfect.

These instantly became my favorite pants/shorts. They are super lightweight and breathable. The kind of garment I am so comfortable in that I forget I ’ m wearing it. I appreciate how adjustable they are. The belt system, ankle cinches, and zip off make for an excellent fitting and highly versatile garment. I have a small waist, wide hips, and thick thighs and it is so hard to find pants that fit. So grateful for these.

Frequently Asked Questions For Best Backpacking Pants Womens

When selecting women's backpacking pants, consider features such as moisture-wicking fabric, breathability, and stretch for comfort during movement. Look for pants with multiple pockets for storage and adjustable waistbands for a better fit. Additionally, consider the weight and packability of the pants, as lighter options are often more convenient for long hikes.

Women's backpacking pants are typically made from synthetic materials like nylon or polyester, which offer durability and quick-drying properties. Some options may also include spandex for added stretch and comfort. Additionally, look for pants with water-resistant or waterproof coatings for protection against the elements.

Choosing the right style of backpacking pants depends on the climate and terrain you will encounter. For warmer weather, lightweight and breathable options are ideal, while colder conditions may require insulated or layered styles. Additionally, consider whether you prefer full-length pants or convertible styles that can be adjusted for versatility.

Yes, there are backpacking pants designed specifically for different seasons. Lightweight, breathable pants are great for summer hikes, while heavier, insulated options are better suited for winter conditions. Some pants also feature zip-off legs, allowing for quick adjustments based on temperature changes throughout the day.

The fit of women's backpacking pants is crucial for comfort and mobility. Look for a fit that allows for a full range of motion without being too loose or restrictive. Additionally, consider the rise of the pants and whether you prefer a high-waisted style for added support or a more relaxed fit for casual wear.

To ensure the durability of women's backpacking pants, look for options made from high-quality, abrasion-resistant materials. Reinforced seams and features like water-resistant coatings can also enhance longevity. Regular maintenance, such as proper washing and storage, will help keep your pants in good condition for many outdoor adventures.
