Hiking Pants Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of pants should I wear hiking?

Depends where you're going to hike, and what the weather will be like. In warm weather, look for hiking pants made with lightweight, quick-drying synthetic fabric. Mesh panels or zip-off legs can help regulate your temperature. In cold or wet weather, check for durable, water-resistant materials. At any time, seek out a comfortable, flexible fit that allows for freedom of movement. Features like articulated knees and stretchy fabrics can enhance comfort on the trail.

What's the best material for hiking pants?

Factors like the weather, the terrain and personal preference influence which is the right material for hiking pants. Nylon and other synthetic blends are lightweight, quick-drying and breathable. Materials identified as softshell are more wind- and water-resistant than nylon, but also less breathable. Softshell fabrics are ideal for colder hikes or changeable weather. Cotton canvas is a classic choice, but it's heavy and slow-drying. Ripstop nylon is stronger than regular nylon — it's made to resist tears and abrasions. For hot weather, look for synthetic blends with a UPF rating, plus features like mesh panels for extra ventilation.

Should hiking pants be loose or tight?

The ideal fit for hiking pants is a balance of comfort and functionality. Pants that are too loose could snag on brush or just feel bulky. Pants that are too tight restrict movement and may chafe. Aim for a snug but not constricting fit that allows for free movement, especially around the knees and hips. Consider features like articulated knees and stretchy fabrics for extra comfort.
