Pros | Very comfortable, versatile, wind and water-resilient | Impressive weather resistance, excellent mobility, comfortable, durable | Comfortable cut, sleek good looks, solid construction | Mobile, wide range of fit options, vents and breaths wonderfully, good pockets | Comfortable, endless mobility, breathe fairly well |
Cons | We have very few complaints, they are a little thin | Rigid waistband noticeable at times, not the most breathable | Not as breathable or waterproof, less impressive pockets | Doesn't block the wind, not a great style around town | Thin fabric may wear faster, uses short-chain PFC-DWR |
Bottom Line | With their endless mobility, comfortable details, and technical abilities, these are our favorite overall women's hiking pants | Great for cold weather hiking and wet days on the trail due to solid weather resistance | Great all-round, all-day, work-to-trail hiking pants | These 2-in-1 convertible hiking pants work wonderfully, providing great breathability and excellent value | These incredibly comfortable hiking and climbing pants are made to move |
