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 purchased 2 pair of hikers when Georgia Grace and her mom had a Boulder pop up. I read about them and couldn’t wait to check them out. Exceeded my expectations - super flattering, comfortable, really nice fit! I bought for technology but didn’t realize I would wear just walking around town! Really well-designed with plenty of pockets! Best pant I’ve ever purchased.

I was confident the zipper would make peeing outside easier and more comfortable and it did. Game changer.

But I would love these pants even without the zippers. I’m a curvy woman with thick thighs, a big butt and a small waist. They fit perfectly which is nothing short of a miracle. They look a
little tight on my thighs when I look in the mirror but no problem on the trail.

I’m just 5’2” so I was worried about the length. But the cinch cord took care of that. I can either wear them like joggers or place the cinch above my boot top and pull the pant leg down in a reverse cuff.

The fabric is thick which was great while hiking through brambles. They may be hot in the summer but personally I’m happy to have the protection.

The only downside is that the zipper is a little uncomfortable when sitting. Might be less of a problem for someone with
less volume in the hips and backside. I wouldn’t want to go commando but YMMV.

I've not yet tested my Go There options 😉 but have to say the fit of my pants is perfect: comfy in all areas, (including the "mid" weight) ... and flattering, even to an older retired gal like me. Glad I found this company. Looking forward to the next thing Gnara comes up with!
