Women's Hiking Cargo Capri Pants - Quick Dry UPF 50

Our review of these Women's Hiking Cargo Capri Pants finds them ideal for active outdoor women who want lightweight, functional gear without the bulk of traditional cargos. The single biggest reason to buy is the combination of quick dry fabric and water resistant finish that keeps you comfortable on humid hikes and wet trails, while retaining a flattering, feminine cut. From everyday travel to day-long treks, these capris balance performance features with a style that does not scream 'technical gear'.

Key Features

• Quick dry fabric: The 88% nylon 12% spandex blend wicks sweat and dries fast so you stay comfortable after exertion or an unexpected shower.
• Four-way stretch: The elastic content and articulated knees allow unrestricted movement for scrambling, climbing, or long walks.
• UPF 50 sun protection: Built-in sun protection reduces UV exposure during long hours outdoors in open terrain.
• Multiple pockets: Front drop-in pockets, side patch pockets and a zippered rear pocket keep a phone, keys and other small items secure and accessible.
• Adjustable fit details: Elastic waistband and drawcord cuffs help lock in fit at the waist and hem for varied conditions and footwear.
• Lightweight and packable: The thin, travel-friendly fabric compresses easily for trips and quick washes.

Who It's For

The pants suit hikers, travelers and outdoor enthusiasts who want a comfortable fit with technical benefits but prefer a trim, capri length rather than a full pant. They work well for warm climates and active days where breathability and rapid drying matter, for example day hikes, travel days and rounds of golf.

Those who need heavy-duty abrasion resistance, insulated warmth for cold weather, or a fully waterproof seam-sealed pant should look elsewhere; these capris prioritize breathability and mobility over heavy mountaineering protection.
