I wore these pants with the leggings as a base layer on a summit attempt of Mount Rainier, as the only girl on a rope team of 5. Being able to pee freely, without taking off my harness or getting my butt out on a glacier, makes a huge difference in feeling like an asset to the crew. There is no concern that “being a girl” will cause me to slow the team down or create unsafe conditions by stopping for too long and let’s my technical knowledge and fitness shape my place.
Also, we glissaded roughly 3000 feet of elevation on the way out and my pants had no damage :)
This is my 3rd pair of Go There shorts (I own one pair of Go There pants as well!). I love them and the ease of "going" so much that I wanted to not have to wear the same pair multiple days on outdoor excursions. I tell everyone I know about them. Thank you for a product that I can truly recommend. Absolutely love them!
These pants really take the cake! So many great features. The mid-high waist is so comfortable, the cinches at the ankles are really great for protection against dirt/rocks/etc when paired with ankle gaiters, the pockets are actually big enough to fit things inside them (and the side/zip pocket is perfect for even a larger smart phone), the material is water resistant but not too hot and dries quickly... I feel like I could go on forever.
I have used these pants on so many multipitch climbs and backpacking trips, and I can never go back to having to trying to pull my pants down underneath a harness or deal with taking my backpack off and pulling down my sweaty pants to squat down and pee again. These pants (and the shorts because I also had to buy a pair of those after using these over and over again) paired with a kula cloth have literally changed my life!!
The only thing I will say is that the sizing does run quite large for my body type - I have thicker/muscular thighs and butt and a smaller waist and am normally a size 4, but comfortably wear a size 2 in these (with a bit of extra room in the waist).
Thank you Gnara, these are literally the best piece of outdoor clothing I own and I can never go back to another pair of pants/shorts without a pee zipper again!
I love to kayak (among other things!). A problem of course is finding places to get off the water to "go"....it did take some practice in my garage....but with these shorts, a half kneel, a small device (that could be optional) and a small coffee can, i can stay out on the water all day!
i get these as a fun gift for everyone in my life. barista complimented mine just this morning! :)
after hundreds of miles of marathon training, these finally got a hole — replacing with a new pair now! so fun and love the merino blend.
love how buttery this fabric is! layered them all wonter under my Go There Pants — compressive enough to stay in place XC skiing!
Perfect fit! Always a solid quality guaranteed! Boight for my daughter, her second pair of this brand. She works outside so this makes life a breeze for her!
These are great shorts, very versatile, and the go fly zipper is always a win! They do fit a little differently than the pants, as it feels like they have a higher waist, and on me they tend to ride up into my bum where as the pants never do. My only wish is that they still some how had a side zipper pocket as I miss that handy pocket for my phone! Still giving 5 stars as I have 2 pairs that I wear all the time. Go fly zipper for the win!
I love the fit of these shorts. The length is perfect even for tall (5'9") girls, not too long or short, and the legs stay down, no rolling up. I wear these when I ride my bike on the beach, or on distance runs so it's easy to pull over for a covert pee break.
These are very sturdy leggings, comfortable with some decent compression. When pulling them on I some times hear the little threads popping (?) but they have held together great, no rips or seams undone. I wear these mostly as a base layer under my regular Gnara pants (size up one on the pants to make room for the leggings underneath) in the winter months. Go fly zipper is so handy!
I basically only wear Gnara pants now because the go fly zipper is so convenient (and necessary!) for my hikes, and travel days. They are stretchy and breathable and yet sturdy enough to handle butt scooting down steep sand stones at Zion with out ripping! I have 5 pairs now (wow oops!), and my original pair (from the shefly days) is still hanging together great.
So happy someone came up with this idea!!!! So nice to be able to squat and do your business without showing the world your butt!! The sizing was spot on!! Nice material, good stretch, nice color, great amount of pockets!
I often get asked, if I have lost weight when I’m wearing the hiking pants. I have 3 pairs and they are my go to pants.
I was skeptical of these pants at first, but they are no doubt, my favorite pants for climbing, especially multi-pitch. They fit amazingly well, the pee zipper doesn't change the comfort of the pants at all and they make peeing feel more private in exposed places (I've only peed on my underwear once and just left the pee zipper undone until they tried). The pockets are normal sized and there's a zipper phone pocket!
They are a slightly heavy/warmer pant, but if it's hot it's easy to pull or roll up the bottoms to let the legs breathe.
Note on sizing: I typically aim for a size 4 in women's pants because I don't like tight fitting clothes, but I'm a 2 in gnara and they fit perfectly, now that they stretched I use the drawstring to keep them on, so I'd recommend downsizing.
Hey Gnara Team! Just wanted to take a quick moment to share some of the adventures I've gotten to take your pants on! I am a long term volunteer at a hospital in Sierra Leone, West Africa. When I was packing to leave the U.S., your pants were one of the very important things on the list to come with me😁. This past week I got a chance to get away from the hospital and explore the country more including hiking the highest peak in the country, Bintumani Mountain. It's not often traveled, so probably a first ascent for Gnara pants haha! Anyway, hiking with an all-male group I was reminded again of how wonderful these pants are. So thought I'd share a few pictures. I literally tell all my friends and every outdoor woman I meet about how much I love my pants! I want to support you all cause I would be heartbroken if y'all stopped making these pants.
I took these bibs on a several week trip above the Arctic Circle in Norway. They were warm and comfortable. I got loads of compliments and I felt fabulous in them. I wore them snowshoeing, snowmobiling, hiking, and to stay warm while out seeing the Northern Lights.
I always had trouble finding bibs that fit me just right. I’m 5’, 175lbs so finding short bibs for a curvy girl is tough. These bibs STRETCH with me! I can squat and move without fearing they’re going to split! I also love that they have the option to tack up in the back, and have so many pockets. The material is durable, and perfectly lined for this easy coast skier.
The baselayer bottoms are also truly amazing. I wear them constantly and they fit just right, and stay fitted the entire day! No need to hike them up every hour.
A word of caution: while I love the bibs, I have had issues with the zipper coming undone. I been wearing these for months, sometimes multiple times a week, and I’ve noticed that the pee- zipper will occasionally be undone before I notice. It’s only happened twice, but I do need to check usually to make sure it didn’t come undone without me noticing!
I used them for the first time on a backcountry split boarding trip and they couldn't have been better! The ventilation was perfect for a long skin up and they kept me dry and cozy while transitioning in deep snow. Plus the color makes me POP.
I really love the bibs, even if the Gnara zip wasn't there, these are hands down the best show pants I've ever had! I love the fly, super easy to use once you get used to the idea of it. 10/10 would recommend to any woman out in the snow who hates undressing just to answer nature's call. I love these bibs so so much! The leggings pair so well with them too. I love all the pockets, the level of warmth and the stretch/move-ability. I'm not a black wearer, so my only recommendation is more color options!!
Seriously -- I cannot emphasize enough how perfect this kit is. And that's before you add the fact that I can pee without taking a single thing off.
The floral blur bib is to die for -- I can wear any of my coats with it and it's such a fun print. Love that the bibs aren't too tight (hate that about most women's options on the market) but also aren't baggy. And the cinch feature behind the calf is so clutch for easy boot adjustments. And 8 pockets on a bib?! Are you joking?
These are also hands down the comfiest base layers imaginable. I'm obsessed with the wide elastic waistband. The flaps are super intuitive to use, plus, they're full coverage, so I can totally walk around at apres without flashing anyone.
Gnara does it again. Burton, smart collab choice. Please do more! Looking forward to more color options next season -- I'm going to buy them all! Here's me testing the pee zipper in a snow bank.
I bought my partner a bib+baselayer combo during the presale. After watching her get some turns in and rave about them I said screw it and got myself a pair — 100000% worth it!!! Quite literally BEST bibs I’ve ever worn. And somehow they fit us both perfectly even though we have a 5-6” height difference?!
Thank you gnara team for the care and intentionality of design. Your stuff never ceases to amaze me. Glad you got Burton on board! 🤘
These are easily the best bibs I’ve ever had! The fit is perfection (no weird butt, perfect length for my 6’ frame), the pockets are plentiful, and the zipper is so convenient. No more stripping in the bathroom, no more butt exposed in the trees. IMO kinda essential to buy with base layer. I never leave reviews but after a season in these bibs+base layers, I had to come back to this. Total game changer.
I’m 6’ 140# and got a M in both.
We do a lot of bushwhacking during cold season and I'm happy to report that this bib is doing great! It's held up excellent on so many snowy adventures. It’s a perfect layer for cold snowy days or even just cold af days.
I wrote a review after the first time I wore my new Gnara/Burton blur base layers, and black bibs because I loved them so much. And now that the season is wrapping up, I have to write another one. These are just DA BEST! I have peed out of them on ski slopes, in the back country, on a hiking trail, in a resort bathroom, & in a porta john. They are a total game changer. Pockets galore that fit everything you need for the day. The fit is great. So many features. There is NOTHING that I don’t like about them! My guess is the GoFly technology will become the standard in outdoor gear because it’s just such a no-brainer
