Women's Hiking Pants Quick Dry Cargo Pants - Petite/Regular/Tall fit

Our review of these Women's Hiking Pants finds them best suited to active women who want lightweight, practical travel and trail trousers. The single biggest reason to buy is the combination of quick-drying, water-resistant fabric with a flexible waistband that moves with you; that mix makes them ideal for multi-day hikes, humid climates, or long travel days when laundering options are limited. The fit options in petite, regular, and tall mean most heights can get a true-to-length pair that stays comfortable all day.

Key Features

• Water-resistant fabric: The material sheds light rain so short downpours won't soak through during a hike or a round of golf.
• UPF 50+ protection: Built-in sun protection shields skin from UV exposure on exposed trails or fairways.
• Five secure zipper pockets: Two side pockets, two thigh cargo pockets and one back pocket keep a phone, keys and small items secure while moving.
• Stretchy waistband with drawcord: The flexible waist allows for comfortable all-day wear and an adjustable fit during activity.
• Lightweight, quick-drying construction: The fabric wicks moisture and dries fast, which is handy on multi-stage hikes or travel itineraries.
• Size range with length options: Available in petite, regular and tall so users can choose a better inseam and overall fit.

Who It's For

These pants are aimed at women who spend time outdoors and need functional, low-weight trousers for hiking, travel, or casual rounds of golf. The five zipper pockets and sun protection are especially useful for travelers and day hikers who want to carry essentials without a pack.

They are less suited to users who require heavy waterproofing for prolonged wet conditions or insulated pants for cold-weather mountaineering; for severe rain or winter expeditions a dedicated rain pant or insulated pant is a better choice.
