💢💢 Top 5 Hiking Pants for Men of 2021 💢💢
👉 #1: Best Overall Men's Hiking Pants: Prana Stretch Zion
[ Ссылка ]
The Zions are a hardy model that have been around for awhile - and they just keep getting better with each iteration. These pants are constructed from nylon and spandex and treated with a DWR finish, providing for adequate weather resistance. The stretchy fabric and semi-slim cut makes for performance pants that move with your body. The Stretch Zions feature a zippered cargo pocket, low-profile waist, and snaps that allow you to roll up the legs.
What I like most about these hiking pants is how versatile they are for hiking, backpacking, rock climbing, and many other outdoor activities.
What I don’t care for about these is that the durable construction and DWR treatment makes them less breathable than other options on this list.

👉 #2: Best Budget Pick: Columbia Silver Ridge Convertible
[ Ссылка ]
Columbia designed the Silver Ridge convertibles from lightweight nylon that effectively blocks UV rays. Although these pants lack the bells and whistles of more expensive alternatives, the Silver Ridge pants do come standard with a webbing belt, deep side pockets, and zip off legs that allow you to quickly convert them into shorts.
What I like most about these pants — other than the affordable price — are all the different color and size options available.
What I don’t care for as much is that due to the thinner materials used, the Silver Ridge convertibles don’t offer much weather resistance.
----
👉 #3: Best Ultralight Hiking Pants: Mammut Alpine Lightweight
[ Ссылка ]
Mammut designed these lightweight hiking pants to taper through the legs, cutting down on the amount of material used in construction. DWR treatment provides for a degree of weather resistance, making them suitable for hiking in most conditions.
What I like most about these pants is that they’re extremely breathable and include zippered mesh pockets with their own venting capacity.
What I don’t care for is that they run a bit wide in the waist and don’t include a belt, which could be problematic on long hikes when your weight will likely fluctuate.
----
👉 #4: Best For Inclement Weather: Arc’teryx Gamma LT
[ Ссылка ]
Arc’teryx designed the Gamma LTs to be comfortable, lightweight, and versatile. They’re incredibly stretchy and durable, making them suitable for alpine conditions.
What I like most about the Arc’teryx Gamma LT pants is how well they withstand wind gusts, making them the best choice for wearing on wet, cool hikes.
What I don’t care for is how expensive these pants are, topping this list at $190.
----
👉 #5: Best For Versatility: Kuhl Silencr
[ Ссылка ]
These polyester soft-shell pants are as equally suitable for day hikes as they are for general daily wear. The fabric is tough, comfy against the skin, and effectively resists the elements thanks to a DWR finish. The storage features on these abound, including two large, drop in side pockets and four additional standard pockets.
What I like most about the Kuhl Silencrs is the streamlined, clean design that makes for a pair of pants you wouldn’t guess were intended for hiking.
What I don’t care for about these pants is that none of the pockets have closures, making it easy for things to fall out when you’re on the move.
