I own 4 pairs of the Go There Pants because I love them so darn much! The pants are comfy, practical, and flattering. >> When I had shoulder surgery and only had the use of one arm for over a month, the GoFly was the easiest way to pee! Zip - Squat - Pat/Wipe (with a Kula Cloth 😉) - Stand - Zip & Go. Big bonus: I didn't have to take my backpack off to pee.
I live in the Colorado Mountains, and I have loved the pants during every season! Note: I wouldn't recommend wearing them in really hot temperatures. Mountain summers, though, I found/find them to be great!
I saw a review claiming they aren't for athletic figures: My friend, who has a very athletic build, has worn and loves the pants while hiking, backpacking, and rock climbing. She not only loves the comfort and function, she really appreciates not having to take her pack or harness off. Plus, they look great on her! (She is "long and lean.")
Another reviewer commented that the pants are not waterproof: There are no waterproof claims. The pants are water repellent and resistant. I fully tested this, though unintentionally lol
If you are short waisted, you may not be a fan.
If you have short legs, you may not be a fan.
If you want (ultra)lightweight, you most likely will not be a fan.
If you don't like a Mid to High Waist, these aren't for you.
If you struggle with smaller zipper tabs, Gnara offers extenders.
... I think that covers it. 😉
Oh, I can't wait for the leggings!!! 🤩
Love the comfort and versatility. I wish I had ordered a size down, however. But the drawstring in the waist saved the day.
I haven’t been camping or hiking since I purchased this, but I’m very glad to have this for the future outdoor adventures!
Got me and my daughter a pair for 5 day backpacking trip. They are great! We loved them! And they work perfectly. When you unzip and squat the shorts hug you and stay out of the way. So there was no mess. We wore underwear the 1st 2 days and went commando 3 days. The only problem we had was it was humid. We sweated a lot. So with the waterproof material, we got a rash. We both wished for yoga type shorts with a she fly. Low and behold the week we got back there's a presale for yoga shorts. We will be getting a pair.
I absolutely love these pants, I got two in different colors. They fit so well, are comfy and perfect pockets. I have a very active job, working with kids on the floor, doing exercises and running so these are excellent for that. They seem very durable, water resistant and stain resistant, and quick to dry. I wanted pants I could wear at work but also use when I go hiking.
These pants and tremendous- they're comfortable and are a flattering fit. Moisture beads up and drips right off of them. The zipper is so liberating - paired with a GoGirl funnel I'm basically unstoppable. I love the side thigh pocket so much, I wish there was one on the left leg, too.
I originally ordered a size 4, because I am in between sizes based on the size guide. My normal size is usually a 6. I had to exchange the 4 for a larger size, but the exchange process was super easy and I’m very happy with the larger sized pair. Since there’s a tie in the waist, I’d definitely size up, and go with the size based on your hip size, especially if you like slightly looser shorts. The zipper function itself was great and I’ll definitely be wearing these anytime I’m hiking or spending time outside! The extensive pockets + loop for attaching keys are also really nice. The fabric feels like it’s good quality and will hold up over time, so in my opinion it’s worth the price!
Fantastic! I have really long legs and they are just the right size. They are also surprisingly flexible and water resistant which is great for field work! They don’t seem to tear easily either because I go through a ton of thorns! And the best of all, easy to go to the bathroom!
My new favorite pants. I ordered one when they were recommended by a fellow Kilimanjaro hiker, then ordered 2 more after I got mine. They are my goto hiking pants now. So convenient and perfect weight for (almost) year round (I live in Alaska). I also ordered 2 of the leggings on the kickstarter. Gnara, you have spoiled me. How can I buy anything else now?
These pants have absolutely rocked my world!!! I’m on our mountain rescue team and just wore them on our latest mission, can confirm I will be wearing them for every single mission in the future! I was able to pee quickly and efficiently without having to take off my harness or expose my butt to below freezing weather on the mountain when both time and maintaining body heat was essential! I couldn’t be more pleased with the fit, they’re stretchy and comfortable to wear all day and zero chafing with the zipper at my crotch. They do run large so check the sizing chart and order down as others have mentioned— definitely glad I did because mine fit me like Cinderella’s slipper magic slipper 👌🏼. Side pocket is the perfect size for my phone and very well positioned to be easy to reach but still out of the way for comfort and harness safely.
This is my second order from Gnara and it's just as good as the first! Sturdy fabric, deep pockets, cute color, works as it should. I can't wait to get these on the trail!
I do wish the logo on the size was a little smaller.
I was nervous about the size I chose because I'm between a 2 & 4, but the chart said to size up. I'm about 5'3" and 140# (a little curvy). So I got the 4 and it's perfect! Secondly, how is there a zipper there and you can hike all day long and never feel it? I thought for sure it would rub or something but no. It's magic! I also assumed the zipper in that area would be a bit awkward to mess with but it's not at all. I love the little pullstrings around the pant leg bottoms too. Perfect amount of pockets and good sizes for them. Lastly, the material. It's super comfortable, and stretchy enough for difficult hikes but also sturdy. I was so excited to take these out hiking in North Cascades and Mount Ranier and they did not disappoint. Worth the money and will likely be buying a second pair now that there are no more full moons during my day hikes.
I've been eyeing these pants for a year or so and when they came on sale, I finally took the plunge and bought a pair. I am so happy with my purchase. The fit is great, the fabric is durable and has a little stretch, dirt brushes right off, they don't stretch or sag after wearing for days, easy to wash and wear and the go fly feature is super convenient. I recently wore them on a 4 day backpacking trip and I am impressed. These are by far my favorite hiking pants I've ever owned! I bought them in black and now I want some in a fun color!
I love these pants! So well made and the hidden zipper is just that and does the job when needed! Great fit and worth the money.
I eyed Gnara pants for a while and finally decided to purchase them before a 3 day backpacking trip. Worth every penny and super easy to use! They're very comfortable and make peeing in the woods a lot less unpleasant.
I've had these pants for almost 2 years now and I love them. Back then, I had problems with other hiking pants holding onto dog hair, grass seeds, dust, hay etc. I bought these and can safely say they hold up excellent to anything I throw at them! Dust, hair, water and debris are easily brushed off the exterior. The interior has a thick weave which prevents pokey grasses or dog hair from weaving into the fabric. I can't tell you how much I love that quality in some pants! I wash them all the time, no piles and they still feel, look and style like they're brand new. I'm rough on my stuff; I move, hike, work with animals, chop, buck hay, and do lots of outdoor work in these. I wear these almost on a daily basis throughout the year; I love them, my boyfriend loves them, plus I get compliments often. Holds up great in heavy work, yet they're cute enough to wear on a casual date. I just bought the shorts this year and I love those too. If you want tough, quality hiking clothes, buy yourself a pair and they'll be your go-to pant.
I never knew how awesome these pants would be until I could finally put them to the test. Thinking these pants made sense and were a cool option, it was beyond my expectations how easy and convenient this made in various terrain and situations. It made peeing soooooo easy! When it's windy or there are places where there isn't great coverage it was awesome! And sometimes it just made it easier when you didn't want to take off your pack as well.
The placement of the side pocket was smart where it didn't land too high on the thigh or too low near the knees so that the contents inside didn't restrict movement.
The material of the pants were stretchy so bending or bouldering were not a problem.
The option to make it a capri was nice but also the drawstring at the bottom of the cuff was a huge plus to adjust length depending on the shoes worn as well as help to keep dirt out if needed.
I'm 5'3" 135lbs and wear size 4.
My most comfortable and versatile pants! I no longer fear long hikes since I know I can easily go to the bathroom outdoors. Finally pants that actually fit well on all fronts: fit both my hips and legs while looking cute. The pants are water resistant which is awesome living in the PNW. Highly recommend. I own 3 pairs of Gnara pants/shorts. Fit is true to size. I typically wear a 6 or 28 and wear a 6 in Gnara as well.
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!
