I cannot stop raving about these shorts and pants! I had no idea that I would love them so much!
They are the most comfortable shorts and pants I have ever owned! Perfect fit! Durable fabric and dirt and pet hair just brushes off!
It is so nice to not feel exposed when peeing in the woods!
Love the variety of colors, too!
I have 3 pairs of the pants and I finally "went there" and got the shorts. I knew they would be perfect and they were. I live in Colorado and they are my new summer staple, especially above treeline. I ended up sizing up from my usual pants size for a looser fit and that was a solid choice for me.
I got a pair of Gnara pants over a year ago and have LOVED them. Decided it was worth the investment to get shorts too. The shorts are so comfy, have very deep pockets (including a zipper pocket!) and they're very flattering. They're long enough to avoid chafing but not so long that they look dorky. The perfect length & style!
I had the opportunity to meet the owner (GG) of this fantastic brand at the Outdoor Retailer show in 2024 while interviewing for the Backpacking and Blisters Podcast. I was provided a pair for testing, but I have not been paid for this review. I was instantly impressed with the innovative feature of the Go Fly. After wearing them all day at the show, I determined that they were my new favorite pants. You CAN NOT feel the zipper and I really appreciate pockets that are big enough for my phone. They stay put all day long, they didn't bag out and they keep their stretch through many days of wearing. They wick, but feel substantial enough to stand up to the rigors of the trail. I love the roll tabs for summer days and sandals. But, most importantly, I especially like the idea of not having to take my backpack off for bathroom trips on the trail. GENIUS!
The pants and the customer service are both exceptional, I cannot recommend them highly enough!
Are these the most expensive shorts I now own? Yes. But they are so worth it. The quality is immediately apparent, the stretch to the fabric is firm but so forgiving (and supportive!), the pockets are deep and secure, and the zippers are everything you could hope them to be. I'll definitely be ordering more/wearing these on every hike until they disintegrate.
These are probably the most comfortable shorts I own, and the pockets are delightfully much deeper than the average pocket on pants designed for women. The design also isn’t too gendered, in my opinion, inasmuch as clothing designs have gender (subjective). So far the zipper hasn’t been a source of- ahem- crotch discomfort, like I was worried about. I will say I haven’t tried peeing in the shorts, so I can’t review that aspect of them.
I’m thinking of buying a pair of pants from Gnara as well, just haven’t gotten there yet.
Comfy, good stretch/flexibility, easy to clean and dry, love the color. Rear zip feature is great. Would be nice if the front pockets were a little bigger, but not a big deal.
I genuinely purchased these pants because I was excited about the pee-zipper alone, I DID NOT anticipate that they would immediately become my new favorite hiking pants??? SO GOOD. So stretchy/comfy/cozy, so durable. I wore them 5 days in a row on a recent trip and they remained snug and perfectly fitted for each and every wear. They slid over my mountain bike chamois flawlessly and were comfy to pedal in. They have pockets that actually fit your phone, zip up, and DON'T make it feel like the weight of your phone/snacks/etc. is pulling the waistline down?? Get outta town. Also kept me dry in rain & blustery snow, they do it all. I'm just so stoked on pants that are actually designed for the way our bodies work. I wanna shout it from the mountain tops! In fact, I just might. Worth the money, treat yourself to these, you won't regret it. I was between sizes and sized down as recommended & they fit like a glove. SO GOOD, Y'ALL.
The best pants on the market! Good for hiking, also good to wear on a date! Great for all occasions!
These are amazing! They fit so beautifully and do not ride up at all while hiking!
I absolutely love them!! Not only are they really comfortable, but they are a really flattering fit too. I’ll definitely be ordering more colors. They do run really big though. I’m normally a 4 but according to the sizing chart I’m a 0 in these. I ordered a size 2 just to be safe, but ended but returning them for a 0.
I love these pants! It was so easy to pee without removing my backpack, and so much quicker and easier than usual. I am a huge fan and will be recommending them to everyone. The only addition I would make would be to add long lengths - I am 5'8" and they land in an ok spot on my hiking boots, but look a little goofy and high water otherwise.
The material was perfect for a long hike in temps of 50-60’s temps. Much warmer temps may have caused me to get too warm, but I like the option where the legs could roll up to capri length if needed.
The fit was near perfect. I agree with other reviews that the waist hits right where my backpack waist strap hit, so I had to pull the pants down just a bit to adjust. I wear a size 2 in Athleta, 4/6 in lululemon. I ordered the 2 in these pants.
I would love to see similar style in different materials, especially, for nighttime nature callings.
The construction is excellent, the fabric and fit are extremely high quality.
When I saw the ad for these pants I was so intrigued. As a menopausal women with a sometimes tricky bladder and recent kidney stone diagnosis requiring me to intake a LOT of water, I constantly found myself baring my backside on practically every nature walk I took when I needed to pee. These pants are a total game changer. It took a trial run to learn how to keep my underwear dry, but after that I was off and soaring. The pant material is a good heavy-ish weight so they hang nicely and don't telegraph any cellulite, etc. The inseam is a perfect length, the drawstring waist is great, and the overall stretch, look, and feel are just excellent. I wore one of my two pairs daily on a recent vacation through SE Utah and the ability to pee off trail quickly and keep my buns covered was so cool. And (frankly) just easy. My husband is jealous of the material, fit, and style of the pant and keeps asking me if Gnara makes a pant for men yet. 😂
I call these my party pants because the go fly is celebratory! I do a lot of hiking and climbing and not having to pull my harness off and pants down when I’m out there with my friends at a crag is a game changer.
The fitting is great. High waist fit makes them super comfortable. They are elastic and the pockets are nice and spacious. Couldn't ask for more on a pair of hiking pants.
As a female in law enforcement, these pants are a GAME CHANGER. Having to remove your full duty belt just to pee is such an inconvenience, and waste of time. These completely get rid of this issue. Now I can freely drink more water throughout the day and stay hydrated without the annoyance of removing my belt every time to pee! Thank you! 1000% recommending that my department looks into purchasing these one day.
I’m an avid hiker and I have been looking for practical, well-designed hiking shorts that aren’t frumpy. I jumped on the chance to order a pair when they were on a flash sale and I am so impressed with the quality of the construction and the design. The pockets are capacious and well-placed, and the cut of the shorts is flattering. I’m normally a size 6 in pants, but my perimenopausal belly (and high waist) put me into the size 8 in these shorts. I can’t wait to wear these on my hiking adventures this summer and fall!
I purchased a pair of the Go There Pants for my 13-year-old daughter ahead of hiking a 20-mile section of the PCT with our Scouts BSA unit. She was a fan and said that pants were comfortable and the GoFly Tech allow her to easily take her bio-breaks. I will likely be getting her an additional pair or two for all the hiking and backpacking we are going to do in preparation for our summer 2025 7-day backpacking trip in New Mexico.
As a woman who has overactive bladder, I am so thankful for the design of these pants and shorts! They have saved me multiple times! It took a bit to find the right size and the exchange process went smoothly. I like my pants loose, so the size 4 worked best. For reference, I am 5’6 and 117 pounds. The length is great as they cover my shoes so grasses and stickers don’t get in my socks when I walk my dog. I do wish they were a bit flared to help this even more. I am also medium to short waisted so the rise is a bit high for me but not a deal breaker. If they were even an inch shorter in the rise they would be perfect! They are also big in the waist, so I use the drawstrings to fix that. I would love an adjustable waistband for sure!! I like the fabric and stretch and they wash amazingly well. The pockets are also great and I wish there were another zip pocket on the left leg too. I really love all the highly thought out details and the potty zipper is the bomb!!! Thank you for these wonderful tech pants that go a long way towards relieving my anxiety and my bladder!! Overalls with this zipper would be amazing!! 😊👍
And I love the green color
My son gave me a beautiful pair of Gnara pants for Christmas. Right away, I was delighted with the concept of the GoFly feature. And I loved the beautiful color (Juneau Jade). But when I actually put them on - wow! They felt like butter. So easy to walk and squat in. And so many great pockets. And I like the way you can cinch them at the ankles. They've truly thought of everything. I am totally happy with these pants!
