Why All This Extra Material??

I have been buying these pants for years and they have been my go-to for hiking, about-town etc. I have a more straight-up and -down body type and loved the high rise and narrow-hip silhouette which also fell at a perfect length. Apparently the fit was completely changed about a year ago, and with the new pants, I look like I'm wearing jodhpurs, huge in the hips, seat and thighs. Big fail.

Flattering And Comfy

I bought these pants to use as sun protection while I instruct Lifeguard courses and work on the pool deck. I also use them for travel and casual hiking. I love how flattering and professional they look, while being comfortable and easy to wear. Bonus that they aren't too warm in 90 degree weather and repel water! I recommend considering sizing down for a tighter fit after a few washes and lots of use. However, I just ordered a second pair in my true size because I enjoy the relaxed fit. Highly recommend for anyone looking for versatile sun protective pants.

Fits under a harness. Zip pocket for your phone. Tapered so you can see your feet. Excellent movement and stretch through the hips and knees. Sturdy fabric that may pill but hasn't ripped. Fast drying. I love these for multipitch days and gym days from spring to late fall. A+ climbing pants for any level of experience.

Perfect In Every Way!

Love these new pants! I’m 5’5” and the length is perfect for me. And in this day and age, I can’t survive without zipper pockets. The material and quality of workmanship is self evident. Thank you for a great Canadian product.

Too Big!

I love the quality and styling, but this XS is huge! I have other Mountain Hardware hiking pants in xs that fit perfectly and that I love, so I expected to love these as well, but they’re falling off. They’re big in the waist and legs. I’m so disappointed

Best Pants Ever

These are the most comfortable and versatile pants I’ve ever own. They let you maneuver without losing shape. I wear them every day. Zippered pockets in front make it trim - no gap-osis.

Most Have A Pair!

❤️ love them, super comfortable. Can be use both for casual were and dressy occasions

Bring Back Prior Leg Pocket Design!

I was a HUGE fan of these pants (great fit, love material) until you changed design of leg pocket. It now has a vertical (vs more horizontal) zipper so no longer securely holds items (if not fully zipped) and isn’t large enough for passport when traveling, please bring back prior design!

Perfect For Warm Weather!

I like the fabric and the fit. Perfect for travel pants and hiking.

Love Love And Please Add A Drawstring!

I love these pants for all outside, especially bouldering. Fabric holds up and has plenty of stretch for high feet. My only request for future design is please add a draw string!! The fabric loosens up quite a bit during wear and a drawstring at the waist would be so helpful to keep the pants in place when topping out.

These Pants Are Almost Perfect!

OK, I've bought so many hiking pants over the years, always trying to find the *perfect* pant for me. These come pretty dang close. I wore them to summit Mt. Whitney this summer and to backpack in the Enchantments, in addition to lots of other day hikes. Here's why I love them: the stretch is good, the high waistband is so comfy and flattering, and the POCKETS are perfect!! Drop in with zipper is so much better than the angled, non-zippered ones on the regular dynama pant. Pockets can hold my iPhone 17 pro sideways - so that's great! And the fabric is so good at wicking sweat and is very breathable. Why they're not perfect: The length is just a little too short and I'm 5'4". I get that this is supposed to be an ankle pant, but I mainly bought it for the high stretchy waistband + pockets vs. the regular dynama and I'm making do with the length. This isn't a huge issue for me but I do wish they came down to my shoe tops. The stretch is REALLY stretchy. Like after a day of backpacking my pants are falling down - they need to be washed to regain shape, which makes them not great for trips longer than a night. I wish there was a tie in the waistband to help keep them up. If I could get the perfect blend of this pant with the regular dynama pant I'd be the happiest customer and buy it in every color - stretchy high waist like this but with an adjuster tie (NO zipper/button) to mitigate the stretchiness, drop-in zippered side pockets like these (keep them exactly the same), and another longer inseam option (30" maybe?).

Great Travel Pants

Great travel pants! They are lightweight and rinse out/dry in no time at all.

Excellent Fit.

I bought two pairs last year. Love the fit. Great for traveling - hiking/climbing then dress them up for a nicer dinner. They wear out a little fast but I am not easy on my gear :)

High-rise Feels Too High, Medium Is Too Large

Had to return. I hadn't realized I ordered a high waisted fit, I thought it meant longer fit instead of a Capri. I dont mind high rise but these were too high for me, and im 5'10" The reason im giving a 3 star is that over the 5 years of buying the dynama pants, the medium size is getting larger and stretchier, making me need to downsize to a small in order for a proper medium fit. It runs large, but only stretches out to get larger through wear, and although I know to start ordering down a size, it doesnt seem fair that the sizing is wildy different from other medium brands. The dynama pants are amazing, but size down or try them on in a store if possible.

Same Comfy Active Pants With Slightly Different Fit

I love these pants. So I went to purchase more as my old pairs were wearing out. These new pairs are good, but a slightly different fit and cut. Still like them, but like the older ones better.
