Pants Reviews
Miles upon miles were logged in pants from Arc'teryx, REI, Patagonia, Prana, The North Face, and Columbia.
Not all pants are created equal. Our era is one of jeans engineered to climb in, designer sweats and ultralight hiking pants. This is a good thing. Lucky you, we've worn them all, and more. Our all-star team of testers has taken the road less traveled when it comes to the best rain pants, best hiking pants for men and best hiking pants for women. We've even got a best-in-class review of ski pants and top yoga pants. We buy everything from the stores, just like you do, then test them over months. Our reviews are 100% unbiased. That's our guarantee.
