Women's Aphrodite 2.0 Capri - Moisture Wicking Outdoor Capri

Our review of the Women's Aphrodite 2.0 Capri finds these capri joggers best suited for active women who want a lightweight, versatile pant for hiking, travel and hot-weather workouts. The single biggest reason to buy is the combination of FlashDry moisture-wicking fabric and a non-PFC water-repellent finish that keeps you drier and moving comfortably in variable conditions. The tailored yet unrestrictive fit and practical pockets make these a dependable everyday outdoor staple rather than a fashion-only piece.

Key Features

• Water-repellent herringbone fabric: The non-PFC Durable Water-Repellent finish sheds light moisture so brief showers and splashes roll off without weighing the fabric down.
• FlashDry moisture-wicking: The material pulls sweat away from the skin to help you stay comfortable during hikes, runs and warm-weather activity.
• Four-way stretch: Stretch in all directions allows for free movement while scrambling, climbing or biking without binding at the knees or hips.
• Rib knit waistband with drawcord: A comfortable, adjustable waistband keeps the capri secure without digging in, and the leg drawcords let you customize the ankle opening.
• Functional pockets: Drop-in slant hand pockets include a concealed zip pocket inside the right pocket for small valuables when on the trail.
• UPF 40+ sun protection: Built-in sun defense gives extra peace of mind on exposed routes and long summer days outdoors.

Who It's For

These capris are aimed at women who split time between the trail and everyday life and need a durable, breathable pant that performs in heat and light rain. Hikers, daypackers, cyclists and anyone who values quick-drying fabric will appreciate the FlashDry technology and four-way stretch for mobility.

Those seeking a heavy-duty rain pant, insulated cold-weather layer, or a fashion-forward city pant with delicate fabrics should look elsewhere, as this style focuses on active comfort, breathability and light weather resistance rather than full waterproofing or insulation.
