Women's Hiking and Travel Pants

Qualities of Good Women’s Hiking Pants

Good hiking pants for women should be comfortable, durable, and functional. They should be made of a lightweight and breathable material that allows for a full range of motion. It’s important to research your options and make sure the pants you choose can withstand the wear and tear of hiking in multiple terrains, weather, and temperatures. The best women’s hiking pants have a good fit, not too loose or too tight, with a comfortable waistband and length to accommodate different body types. Make sure they are easy to clean and quick drying, allowing for multiple hikes throughout the day.

Convertible Hiking Pants

Convertible hiking pants are a type of outdoor clothing that can be transformed from long pants to shorts. They are designed with zip-off or snap legs that can be easily removed or added back on, allowing hikers to adapt to changing weather conditions or terrain. These pants are ideal for outdoor activities like hiking, camping, and backpacking. Convertible hiking pants are also popular among travelers who want to pack light and versatile clothing for their adventures. Our Women's Sightscape Horizon Convertible Roll-Up Pants have been updated with cleaner lines, a smooth two-button waistband, and a flattering back yoke. With snap-up cuffs, they quickly and easily convert from pants to capris. Other features include Flexion two-way active stretch for all-day performance, StormRepel® DWR finish sheds moisture, FreeShade® UPF 50+ sun protection, front hand pockets, and secure zip back pockets.

Lightweight Hiking Pants

The best women’s hiking pant styles for those of you who don’t want to be weighed down are capris, joggers, and cropped pants. Hiking pants made from lightweight fabrics are ideal for warmer weather and hikes that involve terrain that requires a wide range of movement. Our Women's Guide Pro Pants are built for on the go comfort. These hiking pants are lightweight, packable and are made with two-way stretch Flexion nylon/spandex that provides mobility. They also have a durable water-repellent finish to keep you dry in any weather.

Waterproof Hiking Pants

If you plan on hiking in areas with water, such as streams, rivers, or waterfalls, then you should consider wearing waterproof hiking pants on your adventure. They’re also ideal in areas where it’s prone to rain. A good pair of waterproof pants should be able to fit over base layers or lightweight mid-layers. Eddie Bauer’s Women's Cloud Cap Stretch Rain Pants are designed to be worn over tights or leggings in order to ensure protection and body temperature regulation. These rain pants are waterproof but also soft, supple, and stretchy with a slim, flattering fit. The secret is the WeatherEdge® Stretch fabric and seam-sealed construction. Cuffs can also be tightened at the ankles for wet weather bike commuting.

Fleece Hiking Pants

For cold weather hikes, it’s best to wear warmer hiking pants that breathe. This way, you can stay warm without becoming chilled by sweat. Women's Guide Pro Lined Pants are built with a water-repellent, two-way stretch nylon/spandex exterior fabric and polyester stretch fleece lining for warmth.
