Mountain Hardwear Wander Pant - Women's

I own these pants and they rock. Durable material, good for heat or cold, and look nice also. I admit I bought them for looks at first but I've mostly worn them in the mountains -summer couloir skiing or climbing granite peak. I've used them in the fall and in the summer, and unlike my prana climbing pants, aren't going to abraid easily-- they're sort of thick but also hang loosely and don't cling to your skin (that's why they work in the mountains in August, too). They definitely aren't made for a tall person- I am 5'4" and the length is absolutely perfect. I believe I have a size 8, and I usually wear a size 8 or 6, but usually an 8 because of my slightly larger behind. They look great but don't hang down to get wet when I have my boots in and cross some small gravelly streams.

I figured I would not have the opportunity to use these until September, but even in the heat they proved to be great! I thought I would end up being pretty warm all day if I wore them in the 80 degree weather hiking. After all the horrible rain and thunder we trekked through I am so glad that I decided to wear these on that day. Not only was I not hot before the rain, my legs were so comfortable even during. They kept me dry, moved freely, and are extremely durable when brushed strongly against or smashed against rock. I think I will wear these a lot more than I had originally intended to. The inseam seemed a little short to me at first even though I'm only 5'2, but it didn't seem to matter much with boots on.

I had been looking for pants that fit a smaller frame for a while before discovering Mountain Hardwear, and they are great! (I am 5'1" and 108 lbs, and the size 2 fits.) The internal drawcord on this style is especially nice, and they are a rugged, non-wrinkly fabric that looks reasonably good even after a week of camping. I'm ordering another pair!

unexpectedly with rain and hail on a hanging belay. These pants just held up great! My legs stayed warm and the cinch on the legs helped to keep the draft from crawling up and freezing me from the inside out. I generally wear an XS for Patagonia or Prana - but for Mountain Hardwear clothes, it goes up to S or size 4.

these pants held up great on a snowy backpacking trip...they are a little long (I am only 5'3'') but they are lighter and easier to wear than actual soft-shell pants, and you still get the waterproofness. the legs are wide and fit layers underneath easily. they do stretch out after a couple days' wear, but go back to the original shape after a good washing.

Got a pair of these last winter and the fit/cut is very flattering. Comfortable heavy, stretchy fabric. Love the boot cut for wearing around town but obviously gaiters are needed to supplement the drawstring at the ankles. Not quite warm enough without another layer underneath in the super cold, but perfect for snowshoeing and other aerobic outdoor winter activities.

These pants aren't quite as warm as I would have expected but are perfect with some long underwear or fleece pants under them. Love the drawstring waist to adjust the fit as well as the ones at the ankles. I actually bought these for winter horseback riding and barn chores and the dirt does just fall off them. The fabric is a tad slippery for riding hunt seat but fine for western. Wore them for a 3 hour driving trip last week and they were very comfy and still looked "nice" when we got out of the truck. I'm looking forward to actually hiking in them!

Very comfortable. Modern cut (NOT high waisted and NO belt needed) Stretchy fabric moves with you. Great length. I'm 5' 9 1/2" bought a size 12 and they are perfect. Perfect for Canadian winters!

I purchased these pants for SAR during cooler conditions. PROs: I found them to be VERY comfortable in that they were cut well in the seat & thigh areas, are allover stretchy & snuggy. The exterior does not snag & does not attract or collect burrs. CONs: no belt loops, boot cut bottoms are a bit too big and they are cut very short in the inseam. (good thing we wear gaiters). I WOULD buy another pair none the less.

I haven't actually used these pants yet because it hasn't gotten cold enough since ordering them. But they seem great. They fit really well--very flattering for sure. They are stretchy and easy to move in. They seem warm. They seem like perfect pants for winter, for walking/hiking, hanging out outdoors, etc.

This is my third pair of Mountain Hardwear pants, and the fit and feel has not failed me yet. I love the wide waist band and the internal single bungie string adjustment. These will get a lot of use this winter.

I have several pairs of this pant, and am bummed that Mountain Hardwear discontinued it. It was the best all-around pant there was out there. Thank goodness this site has some left!! I've used this pant for multiple sports...hiking, rock climbing, trekking, etc. It can handle it all. Durable fabric that is thicker than most but yet it moves with you as it has a stretch component, so you don't feel restricted at all reaching for that toe hold, etc. Kept me warm on winter climbs and to top it all off, has a very flattering fit. This is the best pant ever!

I looked all over for these pants and when I found them on your website the experience was wonderful. From the purchase to delivery was very professional and friendly. Also, the pants are great and I would recommend them for not only hiking but just walking around in the cold weather. I will surely buy all my rugged wear from you.

My husband and I each bought a pair of these pants for a winter backpacking trip to Europe. We loved the heavy fabric, which helped keep us warm despite the temperatures (below freezing!) as we walked the streets of Prague and Vienna. I really like the cut, and found it quite flattering; the black made the pants look nice enough that I didn't feel out of place touring the cathedrals and castles. If you are tall, these pants will probably be too short; I'm a petite 5'3", and they're perfect.

These have been great on the cold morning hikes in CA - yes we do have some. I am ordering a pair for my niece in, So Lake Tahoe.
