Thin, yet tough

By Cyclinggal Ranked #404 - Women's Hiking Pants October 10, 2009

These are a good pair of hiking pants. They are a bit higher in the waist, which suited me, as I use them for backpacking, and nothing is worse than trying to pull your pants up under a 40lb bag...but I digress. The color that I chose was the green which is a pretty moss color which hides dirt stains pretty well. They are of a thin material, yet it seems durable. These pants look quite nice as shorts as well, not looking as if they are zip offs, but actually shorts! They do tend to run a tad large, but who wants skin tight hiking pants anyway! I wish they were a bit thicker so I could use them for longer in the year, but what they lack in thickness, they make up for in quick drying time. I would certainly buy them again. The nicest touch is the elastic type panels on the sides of the waist band. This prevents mooning the hikers behind you when you bend over.
