    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.

    Great Pants, Smooth Front

    I am 5'2" and on me these are not ankle pants but they fit great as full-length pants, which is really what I prefer. I really like the flat front look of the front zipper pockets.

    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.
