Hiking Cargo Pants Quick Dry Joggers Petitle/Regular/Tall

These are the pants for someone who wants trail-appropriate legwear without paying outdoor-brand prices. The 92/8 polyester-spandex fabric stretches for high steps, dries fast after a creek crossing, and comes in petite, regular, and tall inseams, which is a wider sizing range than most outdoor brands offer at any price. Zippered pockets keep a phone secure on a scramble. What you give up at this price is durability and refinement. The water-resistant finish is a surface treatment rather than a laminate, so it beads for a handful of washes and then the fabric simply wets out; these are not a substitute for rain pants and should not be treated as one. At 300 grams they are heavier than a comparable nylon hiking pant, polyester picks up odor faster than nylon does, and the cargo pockets flap when loaded. Expect thin spots at the seat and knees relatively early.
