Moosehill Women’s-Hiking-Pants-Cargo-Quick-Dry-Stretch-Lightweight Work Outdoor Pants with 5 Deep Pockets

Perfect hiking, mountain biking, and backpacking pants: lightweight nylon/spandex fabric
I’ve been looking for a pair of lightweight hiking pants like these for years! Over the past 25 years, I’ve hiked and backpacked in shorts (done with that now that I’m in my late 50’s), thicker traditional nylon hiking pants with no stretch that zip off to shorts, and thick leggings with pockets (including a pair of $$ Carharts). All have their limitations: nylon stretches out and sags from backpacks, leggings can’t protect against mosquitos and aren’t as durable, can be too hot in the desert canyons and stay wet in mountain rainstorms, but are super comfortable.Enter these pants. I was originally looking to get another pair of lightweight zip-up long shorts for mountain biking, and saw these. I realized that these pants, which can be converted to capri-style length via tabs and snaps, were more versatile than shorts, and could still be worn while mountain biking.Just tested them out on my stationary bike – they’re very comfortable. They fit great with the padded bike short liner as well.I like that they have one zippered side pocket and one velcro tabbed pocket, and the hip and rear pockets are zipper close. If you’ve ever worried about losing keys or some other lightweight small item while hiking, the zipper pocket provides complete peace of mind. I’m also really into bird and wildlife photography, and have lost lens caps that have fallen out of side pockets when I’ve knelt down…not a problem with these.For reference, I’m 5’7″, about 134 lbs, 29-30″ waist, 37″ hips, and usually wear a size 6. I decided to go up a size since I’d rather have them looser in the legs than tighter, and with the partial elastic waist, I figured they wouldn’t be too big like most size 8 name brand hiking pants are. They fit PERFECTLY – no belt needed! They are also the perfect length – another pet peeve of mine are pants that are just a couple of inches TOO SHORT!The inseam length of these pants is 31″.I’ve had such a problem finding pants that actually fit me in legs and hips and aren’t gaping in the waist, are affordable, and weren’t bulky looking or too thick that I’m going to order another pair. I ordered the dark grey, which I love.I also realized that they’ll be good for winter snowshoeing as well.It’s always a risk buying clothing, especially pants, on line, and hoping they fit. Obviously, returns on Amazon are easy, but I HATE returning items that don’t fit.

Comfortable
They were a little short. I’m 5 ‘ 8”.

Sizing is very odd!!!
I wear a size 10 in Levi’s and 12 in Old Navy & Amazon Basic…compared size charts and I went with the Amazon size recommendation if the XXL/14. The waist fit perfect with comfortable room, but around the butt was super tight…& I don’t even have a butt!! Then the legs are a little loose, but a good loose for movement. I feel like if I return and go with the 16 the waist would be too big and legs would be clownishly loose. As far as the review saying the knees aren’t fully sewn…that is because the pants are vented for air flow. The quality is superb and they really are nice hiking pants. I just wish the fit wasn’t so odd. I love that there is a snap to fold up to capri length and a cord to tighten the cuff.

Amazing work pants!!
I own a farm. I just wanted a pair of work pants that fit good. I bought these on a whelm because I’ve searched high and low for a simple pair of work pants that wouldn’t break the bank but also that fit my body. Any women’s “work pant” I tried was too low and short… I even tried men’s pants but they were too baggy. (All in my correct size)These are comfortable, clean very easily, breathable fabric and fit great!

Muy cómodos, flexibles, frescos.
