Ane Hiking Pants by Kari Traa

Kari Traa Ane Hiking Pants. Photo: Kari Traa.

Hiking pants tend to be slightly more durable and abrasion-resistant than tights and leggings, often featuring more storage, water resistance, and UPF protection. We vote for pants during extended hiking trips and more rugged trails when scrambling over rocks is necessary.

The Kari Traa Ane Hiking Pants are a waterproof high-tech hiker with a casual look. An adjustable high waist secures the fit, while thigh and hand pockets provide extensive storage. Articulated knees and a gusseted crotch combine with four-way stretch fabric for unrestricted movement. Increase ventilation with strategically placed zippers. A leg zip opening makes for easy on and off over shoes and boots.
