These pants are some of the best hiking pants I’ve ever worn! I wore them backpacking for the first time, and they were comfortable for an 8+ mile hike. They’re really stretchy but also very substantial, obviously high quality. I sat directly on the ground and didn’t worry about rips or snags. The dirt brushed right off of them. In moderate rain, water beaded up on the pants and I stayed dry. I think I need a little practice peeing in them, especially while wearing underwear, but I LOVE the GoFly feature. When you’re not using it, you can’t even tell it’s there. My only note: I’m not sure I agree that these run big. I’m almost always a 4 in pants and shorts, and the 6 in these is the perfect fit. I wouldn’t want them to be any smaller. Overall, I highly recommend these pants for your outdoor adventures and I’ll be getting a couple more pairs!
These pants are top tier quality! They fit me better than most any other outdoor pants I’ve ever had. Note that I typically like the fit of a size 4, but I am a 2 in gnara. They are on the thicker side which is nice for warmth. The phone pocket is key. Loved the synched ankles. The zipper isn’t annoying and it’s surprisingly nice to not have to pull down my pants to pee when I’m out climbing. These pants are dope!
I have just left a review, then realized I'd neglected to mention a fact that astonished my husband and me. I ended up wearing these pants (almost) every single day. They never stayed dirty; I know they got dirt on them, as I saw it with my own eyes. Somehow, an hour later, not a spot of dirt. They also never smelled, kept me dry in the rain, and fit beautifully.
My daughter bought these pants for me for my birthday and I’m obsessed!!!! The pee feature makes it so much easier. No need to take your backpack off and get half naked!!!! They were JUST long enough (I’m 5’9 155lbs athletic build) and the 6 fit perfectly.
I had envisioned these pants with a friend. I am so thankful that Gnara created them. I just wore them on a hike last weekend. It was so phenomenally easy to pee on the trail! So easy. So quick. No removing the pack. The zipper is super smooth and opens/ closes easily. The protective bit of fabric protects any hairs or lady-parts from getting caught in the zipper. The pants themselves are super comfortable. Elastic. Warm. Pretty. Great phone pocket w zipper. I highly recommend them. I want to buy some as gifts for friends who also enjoy the outdoors.
These pants have a perfect fit. I feel like it's so hard to find good quality clothing and these do not disappoint! The zipper invention is freaking cool! I plan to buy another pair!
Tldr: True to size, cute, comfy, and functional. Awesome and unique gift for the hikers in your life!! And they work even if you're tall!
I chanced ordering a pair of these for my mom who's an avid hiker. She's about 5'10 and pretty thin, usually running a size 6 in pants (but often requires a tall size because her legs are pretty long). Ordered a 6 in these and they fit her absolutely perfectly - any shorter and they'd be too short, but they work perfectly with hiking shoes/boots. They're extremely comfortable, the color is cute, and the design is amazing. I definitely think having a tall option would be great in the future though - this one is perfect but these really would've been too short if she was any taller.
I own 2 pairs! Not only are they great for hiking,etc- they wear well for travel… and look fabulous on!
They are super Water Resistant- Let it Rain!
I’m looking forward to the new color drop- olive-it!!! Clever marketing!
These are my favorite hiking pants. I now own 3 pairs of the pants and 2 pairs of the shorts. The design is genius and so comfortable!
I love these hiking pants so much! They are super comfortable, I can go to the bathroom on a trail without worry and they are super water resistant. I also adore that I can make them into capris. Will definitely be buying more!
Very comfortable! Haven’t tried the “extra zipper” function yet… but I’ve done some hiking in the pants and find them very comfortable. The side zipper is great for a phone. Kept me warm (I’m prone to cold). Stayed clean despite the dusty environment. So far, very happy with the purchase and looking forward to trying out the extra zipper function!
These pants are worth every penny! I have really long legs and a thicker middle. They are flattering and give me a full range of motion. I am saving for the shorts. Also, they can withstand the pnw dampness and constant rain. 100 percent recommend.
So good my 19-year-old daughter stole my pair. Which was fine with me, I just got a second one for myself. We love how flexible the pants are, great design on the pockets, interior drawstring so no flashing of underwear, plus the full zip.
Daughter wore the pants hiking at the Grand Canyon over spring break. They were perfect. You can tell they were designed by women for women. A+.
If only you had actual inseams that made sense and included tall long legged women ideally up to a 36 inch inseam but even a 34 would be nice
I love these hiking pants--so comfortable! Even without the GoFly I'd recommend them, although I bought them because I was intrigued about the GoFly and it works great! I want a version made for gardening/yardwork--basically more pockets, and pockets for tools. Would be nice not to have to go inside or find a tree to hide behind while working outside.
I bought these for my birthday and have tried them out several times (so far just in the bathroom) with great success. I've also been wearing them around town and love the way the look and feel. Can't wait to hit the trail with them!!
I've owned 2 pairs of these plants for a couple of years and forgot my ski pants for a weekend ski trip. These pants worked great with two thin layers underneath. Awesome pants style and fabric!
I HATE these pants because I love them so much! I will never be able to purchase any other hiking pants again. Yes, they are a bit pricy, but every penny is worth it. I've worn them in the rain, the sun, the snow, and I cannot explain how perfect they are for each element. Rain: they slick the water off and keep you warm and dry. Sun: they don't get you hot! You can roll the bottoms and clip them up, scrunch them up, or let them free flow and enjoy the light feeling of the legs. Snow: OMG THEY FEEL BETTER THAN MY SNOWBOARDING PANTS! I'm honestly tempted to take them on the slopes. And the best feature yet? The zipper!! I drink a TON of liquids and the easy zip down and back allows for immediate relief with privacy! I'm that weirdo that hates underwear, and the lining inside makes my lady bits feel comfortable and clean. I'm obsessed. Color is cute too. True to size. If you are tempted but unsure of the price, the price is worth it. I never leave reviews, but honestly, I will be buying several more of these pants and I won't regret a single penny. I am ruined.
I have two pairs of these. I got them for hiking but I wear them for everything. The fabric is the perfect amount of stretch while still keeping its shape. They’re good for cold or warm weather and I seriously want every color. Get them!
Comfortable and practical, I purchased these pants for when I take my children camping/hiking and don’t want to accidentally expose them to my naked parts when there’s no bathroom in sight. The size I bought was 10 and I’m usually a 10 in ready made pants, these fit higher waist like I like and are comfortable, slightly stretchy but fit comfortably and is adjustable with ties in the waist as well as snaps if I want to wear them like capris. I’m not going to lie the price point is high, but I bought one pair on a sale and they are definitely worth it!!
amazing pair of pants- I was finally able to justify purchasing! I am in between sizes and bought an 8 and am very pleased. I don't even have to wear a belt with these and climbed steep slopes to get to this waterfall. I normally wear a large in leggings/pants and my number ranges from 8-12 in hiking pants. 5'7 165ish lbs. Finally hiking to remote places isn't too complicated, I can stay hydrated- lol.
I really like these pants. They are made with nice material: they stretch and conform to my body, but they also smooth over any imperfections. The material breathes well and is sturdy, but lighter weight (not feather weight). They have bungees on the hem and roll-up snaps on the sides to make them capris. That would be my only complaint about these for me. I am a former athlete, I probably have larger calves than the average woman my size. With that being said, for me, by the time I roll up the hem to be able to snap the side snaps in place for the capri look, the rolled material is uncomfortably tight on my calves and tends to either bunch the pant material higher on my legs or the pants want to pull lower. This is not a deal breaker for me.
Main thing for me is that I feel good in the pants, I think they make me look good, they are all kinds of practical on trail and off. I would buy a pair for everyday of the week.
I'm usually a solid size 4, and this size chart says a size 4 is for a 30 inch waist, which is plenty for me, but they are sadly too snug for what I prefer for hiking pants. Measuring across a flat waistband I got 14 inches, so that's 28 inches, not 30. I'm going to try the size 6s. I hope they work, I'm really hoping these can work as my adventure go to pant.
I’m often out in the middle of nowhere (in the desert) for my job and these pants are perfect for when nature calls and there isn’t much ground cover. I wish the waist wasn’t quite so high but otherwise no complaints! Great in a light rain. Dirt cleans off easily. Love the color options too… have two pairs now. Just got the mulberry so I can be a little more stealth around the wildlife I work with and like to photograph. 🙂
