Men's Hiking and Travel Pants

The Best Hiking Pants for Men

The best hiking pants for men would depend on your individual needs, such as climate and terrain. However, some of the most popular choices include quick-drying nylon or synthetic materials and features like adjustable waistbands and pockets for carrying your essentials. To choose the best hiking pants for you, consider factors such as the material, fit, durability, comfort, and the climate and terrain you’re going to be in. Look for pants made from lightweight and breathable materials, with reinforced knees and seat for added durability. The pants you choose should be comfortable and allow for a full range of motion. Features such as pockets, adjustable waistbands, and zip-off legs can also be beneficial. It's important to consider the specific needs of your hiking trip to make the best choice for you.

Lightweight and Breathable Hiking Pants

The benefits of lightweight and breathable men’s hiking pants are that they provide comfort and flexibility during long hikes, prevent overheating and sweating, and are easy to pack and carry. Additionally, they may be made from moisture-wicking materials that help keep you dry and comfortable, even in wet conditions. Lightweight and breathable hiking pants can enhance your hiking experience by allowing you to focus on the scenery and the journey rather than discomfort or distraction.

Waterproof Hiking Pants

The benefits of waterproof hiking pants include protection from wet and rainy weather conditions, keeping you dry and comfortable, preventing hypothermia, and reducing the risk of blisters and chafing. Additionally, waterproof hiking pants can also provide insulation and durability, making them a great investment for you if you’re a frequent hiker and outdoorsman. Our waterproof hiking pants men prefer are Men's Guide Pro Pants due to their high-performance capabilities and maximum comfort. These pants are made with a 2-way stretch nylon/spandex fabric. It's treated with a durable, water-resistant finish and features UPF sun protection. Ideal for hiking or anytime adventure calls.

Convertible Hiking Pants

Convertible hiking pants offer several benefits, including versatility in changing weather conditions, the ability to adjust to varying terrains, and convenience in packing for outdoor activities. With the option to easily convert from pants to shorts, you can quickly adapt to temperature changes and avoid overheating or being too cold. Our convertible hiking pants for men that have proven to be popular are the Men's Guide Pro Convertible Pants. Features include StormRepel® DWR Finish which sheds moisture, FreeShade® UPF 50+ sun protection, and two secure zip cargo pockets. These pants also save space in a backpack, as you only need to bring one pair of pants instead of separate shorts and pants.

Cold Weather and Hot Weather Pants

The best hiking pants for cold weather are those made with insulated materials such as fleece, wool, or synthetic insulation. Look for pants with a waterproof and windproof outer layer or those designed to go over under layers for added warmth. Some of our popular options for cold weather hiking pants include Men's Guide Pro Lined Pants. The best hiking pants for hot weather are those made of lightweight, breathable, and quick-drying materials such as nylon or polyester. Look for pants with mesh panels or vents for added ventilation and those with UPF protection to shield your skin from the sun's harmful rays. One of our most popular hiking pant options for warm weather with moisture wicking fabric is the Men's Switch Five-Pocket Slim Pants.
