Women's Hiking Cargo Pants Quick Dry Capris - Water Resistant UPF 50

Our review of these GymBrave women's hiking cargo pants finds them best suited for active hikers and travelers who want lightweight, quick-drying performance with practical storage. The single biggest reason to buy is the combination of a fast-drying 88% nylon, 12% spandex fabric with a UPF 50 rating that keeps you protected from sun and moving comfortably on the trail. Fit is feminine and true to size for most reviewers, and the straight leg capri length and articulated knees make them a reliable pick for warm-weather trekking and multi-day travel.

Key Features

• Quick dry fabric: The 88% nylon and 12% spandex blend dries fast after rain or sweat, so you can stay comfortable during long outings.
• Sun protection: UPF 50 rated material reduces sun exposure on sunny hikes and open trails without heavy layers.
• Water resistant: A water resistant finish sheds light moisture and short showers so you avoid immediate saturation.
• Ample pockets: Five convenient pockets including a zippered rear pocket and side patch pockets keep phone, keys and snacks secure.
• Active fit: Elastic waistband, drawcord cuffs and articulated knees allow freedom of movement and a secure fit for climbing or scrambling.
• Lightweight and packable: The fabric is travel friendly and compresses easily for trips and overnight packs.

Who It's For

These pants are ideal for women who spend time hiking, backpacking, camping or traveling in warm to mild conditions and want a balance of sun protection, mobility and storage. The quick dry, stretch fabric and multiple pockets suit day hikers, trail walkers and anyone who needs practical outdoor pants that double as comfortable travel wear.

Those who need fully waterproof pants for prolonged exposure to heavy rain or insulated cold-weather layers should look elsewhere. Also, buyers sensitive to fabric noise should be aware that some reviewers mention a swooshing sound when walking in the lightweight nylon blend.
