It\u2019s rare to find clothes that hit the equilibrium of comfortable yet technical, lightweight but durable, and weather-resistant yet breathable, but the\u00a0Outdoor Research Ferrosi\u00a0Pants\u00a0($99) nail it.These barely register on you, but instill confidence through inclement weather and rough terrain. They clock in at a scant 10.7 ounces and cram down to the size of a softball, but have held up over many miles, and some significant off-trail bushwhacking.When we say the Ferrosi Pants are comfy, we mean we often choose these over sweatpants while curling up for a movie. Their movement-mirroring elasticity is truly a wonder, and they feel like extensions of your legs as you vault over downed trees or navigate boulder-strewn river beds. The articulated knees, brushed waistband, and drawcord cuff adjustments boost the pants\u2019 versatility and comfort.We wore these pants on a recent backpacking trip through the Grand Canyon and were greatly impressed by their ability to shed light precipitation while maintaining a high level of breathability as we slogged our way out of the great ditch. Often, you\u2019ll find that pants will excel at one or the other, but rarely both.These are admittedly hard to criticize. If you\u2019re looking for bomb-proof invincibility, you\u2019d be better off with something on the tougher (but heavier) end of the spectrum. But at such a lightweight, the 90-denier stretch-woven nylon fabric holds its own on taxing adventures.We found the back pockets to be a little on the small side, and we couldn\u2019t close the zipper around something like an iPhone (only one is zippered) as we could with the K\u00dcHL Radikl Pants. However, the front pockets and single-zippered hip pocket on the OR Ferrosi Pants are plenty spacious and thoughtfully placed.As some of the best-fitting pants we\u2019ve had the pleasure of testing, the Outdoor Research Ferrosi Pants secured a spot at the top of this list for their premium comfort, solid durability, and overall stellar design. If you\u2019re looking for an ultralight, reliable option for extended backpacking excursions, don\u2019t pass these by.\"\/><span itemprop=\"author\" itemscope=\"\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Organization\"><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<meta itemprop=\"name\" content=\"GearJunkie\"\/><\/span><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t<meta itemprop=\"datePublished\" content=\"2025-08-10T14:06:14-04:00\"\/><\/span><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span itemprop=\"aggregateRating\" itemscope=\"\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/AggregateRating\"><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t<meta itemprop=\"ratingValue\" content=\"9.7\"\/><meta itemprop=\"bestRating\" content=\"10\"\/><meta itemprop=\"worstRating\" content=\"0\"\/><meta itemprop=\"ratingCount\" content=\"1\"\/><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t9.7\/10 Rating<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"top-picks__item\" rel=\"#best-budget-hiking-pants-for-men-rei-co-op-trailmade-pants\" data-prod-id=\"445402\" style=\"z-index:99\" itemscope=\"\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Product\">\n<div class=\"top-picks__item-info\">\n<h3>Best Budget Hiking Pants for Men <\/h3>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t<meta itemprop=\"image\" content=\"https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/images.gearjunkie.com\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Trailmade-Pants-.jpg\"\/><span itemprop=\"review\" itemscope=\"\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Review\"><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t<meta itemprop=\"reviewBody\" content=\"The\u00a0REI Co-op Trailmade\u00a0Pants\u00a0($69) are one of the best-fitting pants in this review. We really like the slender (not slim) fit and how the pants look and feel. They are extremely comfortable, and we were equally cozy hiking all day in them or lounging around the house in a pair of slippers.One of the first things we noticed when these pants showed up in the mail was the sharp-looking accent pocket. The teal pocket zip on the darker blue pants gave the thigh a nice pop of color that looks great. The pocket is just the right size for a fat wallet, cellphone, or energy bar. We also appreciate the internal drawcord\u2019s simplicity as an effective way to make micro-adjustments to the waist without adding a belt.We hiked high peaks in Colorado, along the beach in Mexico, through flower-filled fields in the Tetons, and along the coast in Alaska to discover that pants don\u2019t have to cost a ton to function well, look good, and provide protection from the wind, light rain, mosquitoes, and sun.Note that while these do have a DWR coating, if you live in a wet climate like the Pacific Northwest, where hiking in the rain is a regular part of most hikes, these might not be a great option. On a couple of hikes in Alaska and the Tetons, where it was pouring, these pants soaked through pretty quickly, unlike a couple of others on the list, like the OR Ferrosi Pants, which are more waterproof.The Trailmades did, however, dry extremely quickly once the sun came out. So, if your main goal is to provide some sun protection along with an additional layer to protect your legs from the occasional bit of bushwhacking, then this is a solid choice.If you hike in warmer climates and want a lightweight, simple, but well-designed pair of pants without many extra features to complicate the design, then take a look at the Trailmade Pants. Plus, with a price tag of only $69, you\u2019ll be able to spend more time outside and less time working!\"\/><span itemprop=\"author\" itemscope=\"\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Organization\"><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<meta itemprop=\"name\" content=\"GearJunkie\"\/><\/span><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t<meta itemprop=\"datePublished\" content=\"2025-08-10T14:06:14-04:00\"\/><\/span><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span itemprop=\"aggregateRating\" itemscope=\"\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/AggregateRating\"><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t<meta itemprop=\"ratingValue\" content=\"7.3\"\/><meta itemprop=\"bestRating\" content=\"10\"\/><meta itemprop=\"worstRating\" content=\"0\"\/><meta itemprop=\"ratingCount\" content=\"1\"\/><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t7.3\/10 Rating<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"top-picks__item\" rel=\"#most-durable-hiking-pants-for-men-fjallraven-vidda-pro-ventilated\" data-prod-id=\"445406\" style=\"z-index:98\" itemscope=\"\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Product\">\n<div class=\"top-picks__item-info\">\n<h3>Most Durable Hiking Pants for Men <\/h3>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t<meta itemprop=\"image\" content=\"https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/images.gearjunkie.com\/uploads\/2024\/08\/vidda-pro.jpg\"\/><span itemprop=\"review\" itemscope=\"\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Review\"><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t<meta itemprop=\"reviewBody\" content=\"If you are looking for an incredibly durable pair of hiking pants that will last for a long time, then look no further than the\u00a0Fj\u00e4llr\u00e4ven Vidda Pro Ventilated\u00a0Trousers\u00a0($180).When these pants arrived in the mail, the first thing we noticed was the very heavy-duty look and feel. Along with the pants was a letter from Martin Axelhed, Fj\u00e4llr\u00e4ven CEO. This line from the letter stood out: \u201cThey are designed to last for decades of use, to be passed on to the next generation or re-sold on the secondhand market. This way, fewer products need to be produced, less energy needs to be consumed, and fewer products will end up as waste.\u201dAlthough we haven\u2019t had a chance to test these pants for decades, we suspect they\u2019ll still be going strong many years from now with little signs of wear.Based on the heavy-duty fabric, we were initially a bit skeptical of the breathability. Every time we hiked in warmer conditions or days when the humidity was a bit up, we expected to overheat quickly, but were pleasantly surprised. The side vent half-zippers and the ventilated, stretch crotch make a big difference. While we don\u2019t think these should be your go-to hiking pants for desert backpacking trips, they do well in most other conditions and will shine in colder weather.The Vidda Pro Ventilated Pants are packed with a lot of extra features that are practical and improve the overall quality. For hikers that live in the mountains or on the East Coast or the Pacific Northwest when late spring and early summer hiking often involve snow and mud, the strap adjustment at the leg to tighten up the fit around the top of your hiking boots and the laces keeper hook are a nice feature \u2014 particularly if you don\u2019t feel like wearing gaiters every time you go out for a short hike.The three oversized pockets and the smaller knife pocket are also nice additions. Even when we filled the pockets with a cellphone, car keys, and snacks, the pants still fit well.Finally, it\u2019s worth noting that every single time we wore these pants, we received positive comments from passersby on the trail. Whether we were deep in the backcountry or walking to the local pizza restaurant after a hike, we regularly got comments like, \u201cWow, those are cool-looking pants. Who makes those?\u201d or \u201cThose look really durable. Do you like them?\u201d Fj\u00e4llr\u00e4ven makes a quality-looking pair of pants, and folks notice them.If you are an ultralight purist and have spreadsheets of the weight of every piece of gear you take on a backpacking trip, then these probably aren\u2019t the first pair of hiking pants you\u2019ll choose; you\u2019ll prefer to go with an ultralight option like the Rab Incline Light Pants.But if you want a beefy pair of pants that will last for many years and have a number of thoughtful features that improve rather than detract from the overall quality, then take a look at the Vidda Pros.\"\/><span itemprop=\"author\" itemscope=\"\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Organization\"><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<meta itemprop=\"name\" content=\"GearJunkie\"\/><\/span><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t<meta itemprop=\"datePublished\" content=\"2025-08-10T14:06:14-04:00\"\/><\/span><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span itemprop=\"aggregateRating\" itemscope=\"\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/AggregateRating\"><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t<meta itemprop=\"ratingValue\" content=\"8.6\"\/><meta itemprop=\"bestRating\" content=\"10\"\/><meta itemprop=\"worstRating\" content=\"0\"\/><meta itemprop=\"ratingCount\" content=\"1\"\/><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t8.6\/10 Rating<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"top-picks__item\" rel=\"#most-versatile-hiking-pants-for-men-patagonia-quandary-pants-mens\" data-prod-id=\"246603\" style=\"z-index:97\" itemscope=\"\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Product\">\n<div class=\"top-picks__item-info\">\n<h3>Most Versatile Hiking Pants for Men <\/h3>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t<meta itemprop=\"image\" content=\"https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/images.gearjunkie.com\/uploads\/2023\/05\/mens-quandary-hiking-pants.jpg\"\/><span itemprop=\"review\" itemscope=\"\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Review\"><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t<meta itemprop=\"reviewBody\" content=\"Read Review:\u00a0Hiking Pants That Do It All: Patagonia Quandary Pants ReviewThe\u00a0Patagonia Quandary\u00a0Pants\u00a0($99) are a popular, affordable workhorse that has been a staple in the hiking and travel community for a while. And, for good reason. They\u2019re a solid crossover piece for backcountry performance and front-country style alike. But, don\u2019t let the low price tag and relatively thin fabric fool you \u2014 these pants can throw down and hold up well to some serious torture on long hikes.This model boasts some of our favorite features for hiking pants, with articulated knees, a gusseted crotch, breathable fabric, and a DWR coating with a 40+ UPF rating. For hot, big-mile days in the sun, the Quandary Pants crush it. But, they\u2019re also sturdy enough for winter. Wear them with a baselayer underneath for total adaptability across seasons.We appreciate the flexibility they offer, but the fit was a bit tight around the waist and thighs. If you\u2019ve been focusing on leg day in the gym, see if you can try these on first before whipping out your wallet, or try another more generous-fitting pair of pants like the Outdoor Research Ferrosi Pants.Though the Quandary Pants don\u2019t have many venting features, the light, thin fabric felt more breathable than many of the pants we tried, so the lack of venting wasn\u2019t an issue. A moisture-absorbing mesh liner at the waistband helps keep sweat buildup at bay. A zippered pocket on the back and a small zippered thigh pocket help you safely stash essentials, but we would appreciate another bigger zippered front pocket for keeping a phone or other essentials handy while hiking or climbing.Whether you\u2019re seeking comfort for a big day in the mountains, durability for an off-trail slog, or style for a casual stroll around town, the Quandary Pants are a great versatile option for a variety of adventures.\"\/><span itemprop=\"author\" itemscope=\"\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Organization\"><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<meta itemprop=\"name\" content=\"GearJunkie\"\/><\/span><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t<meta itemprop=\"datePublished\" content=\"2025-08-10T14:06:14-04:00\"\/><\/span><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span itemprop=\"aggregateRating\" itemscope=\"\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/AggregateRating\"><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t<meta itemprop=\"ratingValue\" content=\"8.8\"\/><meta itemprop=\"bestRating\" content=\"10\"\/><meta itemprop=\"worstRating\" content=\"0\"\/><meta itemprop=\"ratingCount\" content=\"1\"\/><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t8.8\/10 Rating<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"top-picks__item\" rel=\"#best-mens-hiking-pants-for-shoulder-season-rei-co-op-activator-pants\" data-prod-id=\"593654\" style=\"z-index:96\" itemscope=\"\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Product\">\n<div class=\"top-picks__item-info\">\n<h3>Best Men&#8217;s Hiking Pants for Shoulder Season <\/h3>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t<meta itemprop=\"image\" content=\"https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/images.gearjunkie.com\/uploads\/2025\/07\/REI-Co-op-Activator-Pants-720x480-1.jpg\"\/><span itemprop=\"review\" itemscope=\"\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Review\"><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t<meta itemprop=\"reviewBody\" content=\"Designed for dynamic weather and active pursuits, the\u00a0REI Co-op Activator\u00a0Pants\u00a0($99) blend weather resistance, stretch, and all-day comfort.These softshell-style pants strike a rare balance between stretch, weather resistance, and breathability. We\u2019ve worn them on spring slogs in Wyoming\u2019s Teton Range and blustery fall hikes in the Pacific Northwest. They shed light rain and wind impressively while remaining flexible and comfortable on the move.The stretchy, Bluesign-approved fabric blends durability with mobility, using just enough spandex for unrestricted movement on steep trails.

Zippered pockets keep essentials secure, and the standard fit runs true to size, leaving room for a thin base layer.There\u2019s no built-in waist adjustment, so you\u2019ll need to bring a belt to dial in the fit.

They\u2019ve taken what they\u2019ve learned on the mountain to make some of the finest outdoor apparel available. The\u00a0Alpine\u00a0Light\u00a0($125) speaks to its years of experience, and the overall merits are in its restrained design.Instead of a belt, the pants fasten with a G-hook that sits off-center and catches on ladder webbing sewn into the waist. Both Arc\u2019teryx and Seadon use a similar G-hook belt closure, but Black Diamond\u2019s solution is the most secure implementation of the three.The drawcord around the ankles locks into a slot, pinching the elastic cord. Unlike other pants with drawcords, you can\u2019t pull it with one hand, but the concept is light and the most minimal setup we tested, significantly reducing bulk around the ankles.For stretch and durability, the material is a combination of nylon and elastane, whose qualities start to shine once you veer off the map. Beyond the trail, you need pants that move with you, deflecting rock and scrub. That\u2019s what terrain Black Diamond feels most comfortable in, and that\u2019s where the\u00a0Alpine Light\u00a0delivers.They have a four-way stretch woven fabric that is water resistant, lightweight, and incredibly durable for its weight. After months of testing, it looks nearly new.The pants have five pockets (two hand and two rear drop-in pockets, with a fifth pocket on the lower right leg). The front pockets aren\u2019t very deep, and the thigh pocket sits low against the knee. This is designed to stay clear of a climbing harness.If you like to carry lots of items in your pant pockets \u2014 particularly a phone in that thigh pocket \u2014 this could be a dealbreaker, and you\u2019ll want to look at the Vidda Pro Ventilated Pants instead. If the thigh pocket were better positioned, we would have awarded the Alpine Light our choice for the best hiking pants overall.The\u00a0Alpine Light\u00a0is available in general sizes (S, M, L, and XL), with inseams scaling from 31.5 to 33.5 inches. The waist sizing trends small, so if you\u2019re between sizes, we recommend sizing up.\"\/><span itemprop=\"author\" itemscope=\"\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Organization\"><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<meta itemprop=\"name\" content=\"GearJunkie\"\/><\/span><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t<meta itemprop=\"datePublished\" content=\"2025-08-10T14:06:14-04:00\"\/><\/span><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span itemprop=\"aggregateRating\" itemscope=\"\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/AggregateRating\"><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t<meta itemprop=\"ratingValue\" content=\"9.2\"\/><meta itemprop=\"bestRating\" content=\"10\"\/><meta itemprop=\"worstRating\" content=\"0\"\/><meta itemprop=\"ratingCount\" content=\"1\"\/><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t9.2\/10 Rating<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"top-picks__item\" rel=\"#best-mens-hiking-pants-for-backpacking-rab-incline-light-pants\" data-prod-id=\"274130\" style=\"z-index:94\" itemscope=\"\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Product\">\n<div class=\"top-picks__item-info\">\n<h3>Best Men&#8217;s Hiking Pants for Backpacking<\/h3>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t<meta itemprop=\"image\" content=\"https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/images.gearjunkie.com\/uploads\/2023\/08\/rab-incline-light-pant.jpg\"\/><span itemprop=\"review\" itemscope=\"\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Review\"><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t<meta itemprop=\"reviewBody\" content=\"Cramming down to roughly the size of a softball, the slim-fitting, mega-stretchy\u00a0Rab Incline Light\u00a0Pants\u00a0($95) should snag some real estate in any pack you load up for an adventure. At 7.9 ounces and under $100, why wouldn\u2019t you bring \u2019em along? But their allure doesn\u2019t stop at weight and price. Boasting stellar mobility, phenomenal next-to-skin comfort, and a thoughtful design, these pants are ready for any number of wild escapades.The long-length gusseted crotch affords more freedom of movement than most pants we tested and has a unique design extending down to just above the knee. Articulated knees contribute to these pants\u2019 mobility, and we had little issue tackling technical terrain on long hikes or light bushwhacks.We love a slim fit in our hiking pants, but these are just a tad too slim in a few areas for our preference, namely around the thighs and hips. For folks with larger legs, we\u2019d recommend sizing up.We love how packable the Incline Lights are. They roll up to a minuscule size and have consequently become some of our favorite \u201cjust in case\u201d pants to throw in on any trip we find ourselves on. This isn\u2019t to say they don\u2019t rise to the task as standalone hiking pants in the backcountry; however, their ultralight nature does dock some durability points. They won\u2019t hold up to the same level of torture as beefier softshell models like the Helly Hansen Blaze listed below.Two zippered side pockets, one zippered back pocket, and a single zippered thigh pocket round out its simple feature set, which is just about perfect for us. We appreciate having zippers on each pocket, as it means any trinket we tote around will stay secure while we wander about. We do wish that there were drawcord cuff adjustments, but Rab had to cut weight somehow.As some of the lightest pants on this roundup, the Incline Lights will hold up to miles of wear and tear without weighing you down. They\u2019ll disappear in your luggage as backup pants for longer trips, or serve you well as standalone workhorses on ultralight backpacking missions.

class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-our-expert-testers\">Our Expert Testers<\/h3>\n<p>Lifelong gear testers Justin La Vigne and Steve Graepel led the charge with this guide back in July 2020, settling on our initial roundup of nine pants. Both are seasoned backpackers, hikers, and all-around outdoorsmen who know the importance of a solid pair of pants for all-day comfort on the trail. <\/p>\n<p>Senior Editor Chris Carter took over this guide in August 2022 when he began rifling through his closet, scouring the interwebs, and incessantly bugging the pros to narrow in on the streamlined selection of pants. <\/p>\n<p>In 2024, <a href=\"https:\/\/gearjunkie.com\/author\/robsimpson\">Rob Simpson<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/gearjunkie.com\/author\/ryan-kempfer\">Ryan Kempfer<\/a> took over this guide. As a college student in Southern California, Rob got his first outdoor job as a camp counselor and backpacking guide just outside Yosemite National Park. Off and on for the next 25+ years, Rob led backpacking, rock climbing, and winter camping trips all over the Sierra Nevada range. Now Rob lives in Salida, Colo., where he loves hiking countless 14ers and exploring all the Continental Divide and the Rockies have to offer.<\/p>\n<p>Ryan is an avid outdoorsman who loves skiing and hiking and combining both for backcountry pursuits. He lives and works as a guide in the Tetons, where he puts gear through the wringer on a daily basis, both for fun and work.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/images.gearjunkie.com\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_8346.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" data-dominant-color=\"9e967b\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"4032\" height=\"3024\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/images.gearjunkie.com\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_8346.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"lazyload not-transparent wp-image-560587\" style=\"--dominant-color: #9e967b; object-fit:full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/images.gearjunkie.com\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_8346.jpg 4032w, https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/images.gearjunkie.com\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_8346-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/images.gearjunkie.com\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_8346-700x525.jpg 700w, https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/images.gearjunkie.com\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_8346-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/images.gearjunkie.com\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_8346-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/images.gearjunkie.com\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_8346-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, (max-width: 1024px) 600px, 600px\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" data-dominant-color=\"9e967b\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"4032\" height=\"3024\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/images.gearjunkie.com\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_8346.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"lazyload not-transparent wp-image-560587\" style=\"--dominant-color: #9e967b; object-fit:full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/images.gearjunkie.com\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_8346.jpg 4032w, https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/images.gearjunkie.com\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_8346-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/images.gearjunkie.com\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_8346-700x525.jpg 700w, https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/images.gearjunkie.com\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_8346-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/images.gearjunkie.com\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_8346-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/images.gearjunkie.com\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_8346-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, (max-width: 1024px) 600px, 600px\"\/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Testing the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/patagonia.pxf.io\/c\/381569\/1948563\/23649?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.patagonia.com%2Fproduct%2Fmens-terravia-peak-trail-pants-regular%2F21151.html\">Patagonia Terravia Peak<\/a> <\/strong>pants on hikes in Point Reyes National Seashore; (photo\/Elk Raven Photography)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-our-testing-process-amp-grounds\">Our Testing Process &amp; Grounds<\/h3>\n<p>It\u2019s no exaggeration to say the GearJunkie squad has collectively clocked tens of thousands of miles on trails all over the world with these hiking pants.

The best hiking pants are the ones that meet your unique needs.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/images.gearjunkie.com\/uploads\/2023\/05\/DSC01992-scaled-e1685465089435.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" data-dominant-color=\"787f8d\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #787f8d;\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2400\" height=\"1600\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/images.gearjunkie.com\/uploads\/2023\/05\/DSC01992-scaled-e1685465089435.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"lazyload not-transparent wp-image-246491\" srcset=\"https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/images.gearjunkie.com\/uploads\/2023\/05\/DSC01992-scaled-e1685465089435.jpg 2400w, https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/images.gearjunkie.com\/uploads\/2023\/05\/DSC01992-scaled-e1685465089435-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/images.gearjunkie.com\/uploads\/2023\/05\/DSC01992-scaled-e1685465089435-700x467.jpg 700w, https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/images.gearjunkie.com\/uploads\/2023\/05\/DSC01992-scaled-e1685465089435-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/images.gearjunkie.com\/uploads\/2023\/05\/DSC01992-scaled-e1685465089435-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/images.gearjunkie.com\/uploads\/2023\/05\/DSC01992-scaled-e1685465089435-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/images.gearjunkie.com\/uploads\/2023\/05\/DSC01992-scaled-e1685465089435-720x480.jpg 720w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, (max-width: 1024px) 600px, 600px\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" data-dominant-color=\"787f8d\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #787f8d;\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2400\" height=\"1600\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/images.gearjunkie.com\/uploads\/2023\/05\/DSC01992-scaled-e1685465089435.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"lazyload not-transparent wp-image-246491\" srcset=\"https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/images.gearjunkie.com\/uploads\/2023\/05\/DSC01992-scaled-e1685465089435.jpg 2400w, https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/images.gearjunkie.com\/uploads\/2023\/05\/DSC01992-scaled-e1685465089435-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/images.gearjunkie.com\/uploads\/2023\/05\/DSC01992-scaled-e1685465089435-700x467.jpg 700w, https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/images.gearjunkie.com\/uploads\/2023\/05\/DSC01992-scaled-e1685465089435-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/images.gearjunkie.com\/uploads\/2023\/05\/DSC01992-scaled-e1685465089435-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/images.gearjunkie.com\/uploads\/2023\/05\/DSC01992-scaled-e1685465089435-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/images.gearjunkie.com\/uploads\/2023\/05\/DSC01992-scaled-e1685465089435-720x480.jpg 720w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, (max-width: 1024px) 600px, 600px\"\/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Different styles and designs of hiking pants fit the bill for different types and intensities of hiking or backpacking excursions; (photo\/Honey McNaughton)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"c-block-accordion-item c-block-faq-item c-block-faq-item--active c-block-faq-item--opened\" itemscope=\"\" itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\">\n<div class=\"c-block-accordion-item__content c-block-faq-item__content c-block-faq-item__content--active\" itemscope=\"\" itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\">\n<div class=\"c-faq-shortcode-item__description\" itemprop=\"text\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-ldm-faq-item\">\n<p>Again, this is a personal preference.

You want to think of your body as an onion with the option to layer down. Loose clothing with breathability is ideal, ensuring that you\u2019ll stay cool and wick away moisture. Having clothing that has UPF of 40-50 within the blend of materials can help with avoiding sunburn.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re in buggy areas, having clothing with or treating your clothing with some type of bug repellent can help keep those pesky mosquitos, ticks, and sandflies away. Lastly, color is important.\u00a0Keep your clothing, including your pants, on the lighter side, such as light beige, gray, or cream. Darker colors tend to absorb heat, while lighter colors reflect it.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a
