baleaf Womens Hiking Pants Lightweight Quick Dry Joggers High Waist 5 Zipper Pockets Travel Athletic UPF50+

The Backstory: Once upon a time, I found the perfect pair of sweats (they were not these). This was 6 years ago. I bought 3 pairs of them when I realized how much I liked them because I knew someday, inevitably, I'd run out. Those sweats have been unavailable on amazon for approximately 5.5 years and I have never been able to find them again. I've checked intermittently, hoping that they'd be there again because once I find something I like, I stick to them and try to just keep buying the same thing as long as the quality remains the same. About 3 months ago after multiple holes started appearing in the crotch and the legs began to fray on all of them, I knew I'd have to find another pair of pants. The Search: I started passively searching around 3 months ago. I'm a med student so I don't have an abundance of time or money, so passive searching is me looking on amazon in the middle of a long shift or as I'm falling asleep in bed avoiding my responsibilities. These actually caught my eye pretty early on because I have two sets of legging shorts with pockets from Baleaf that I really like, and I thought that maybe these would be good too, but $37 was a little much for me to just spring on right away without proving to myself that I had no other options. Some other things caught my eye, but I kept coming back to these because they checked a lot of boxes for me (reviews talked about them as comfortable, they looked like they'd be light, they had adequate (and zipping!) pockets, reviews said they were soft, they had jogger bottoms so I wouldn't have the fraying ends problem again from stepping on them, and less importantly but still relevantly they had kind of the profile I was passively looking for). I decided to get a pair just to try it out, trusting that if I hated them or even if they didn't live up to my standards, I could just return them. The Verdict: I LOVE these pants. LOVE. I think it's too soon to say whether or not I love them as much as my old sweats, but they are already way up there and set to surpass the others if they last even half as long. They are light, deceptively stretchy material, quick drying, and have more than adequate pockets. They're extremely comfortable, look great, and fit well. I really appreciated reviews with pictures and sizes when I was making my decision, so here's mine: I'm 5'8 and what I would describe as a muscular 168lbs. At this size, I bought large to be safe, and I got the 25.5" legs, but I think I could have gotten a medium too and been fine and I just might still in the future since I've lost 20lbs in the last 2.5 months and plan to lose about 5-10 more in the next month. The legs are short, but I like that for running honestly (ran 5.5 miles in them this morning they were more comfortable than my normal shorts even, and not too hot at all). I'm definitely going to buy more (and already have). I also took them hiking yesterday with my dogs and they dried extremely quickly after my Great Pyrenees and German Shepherd tromped through the river and then immediately shook themselves off on me haha. I have no real cons to them, though I'll update if they break down quickly! Til then, I'll be ordering more and wearing them literally every day I can get away with it lol. Message for Baleaf: PLEASE don't take these off the market, I don't wanna go searching again for another perfect pair of pants LOL

We were traveling to a warm climate destination and needed a pair of pants that were light weight and that could protect me from the sun and keep mosquitos away, and that were stylish. These did the job! And they are very versatile! I wore them on the plane and on a hiking trip and I will be wearing them to run errands at home. My husband loved the way they looked on me so I will be ordering another pair in a different color. They are well made and the fabric feels soft and comfortable. The fit is true to size. I ordered these in small with the 25.5 inseam. I am 5'3 and weight 115 lbs. and the fit is perfect everywhere. This is definitely a great product and highly recommend.

I bought these for an upcoming international trip. I’ll update after the trip if they do not hold up well. First try on left me with great impressions. The fabric is very light and cool to the touch which will be great for the hot climate I am getting ready to travel to. Fabric and zipper quality overall felt really good. I appreciate that all of the pockets zip so I can throw my phone in my pocket and not worry about it falling out. Fit is truly high waisted - I have a high waist so it hits at my natural waist and above the belly button which is what I wanted. The waist band is comfy and not tight. Navy color is true navy, very pretty. Sizing is often difficult for me as I have about a 13/14 inch difference between waist and hips but the large fit great and wasn’t too tight, but also not too loose - for reference I am a 45 hip and 31.5 waist. Regular length was fine (I am 5’8”).

I've been trying sooo many different hiking pants this month in preparation for a hiking trip in April. So far these have come the closest to fitting perfectly, so this is the pair I will keep and order more. For reference, I bought a medium 28" inseam, and I am 5'7" and about 145lbs. The fabric is soft and comfortable, thin enough for warmer weather, but doesn't seem too thin for spring. The waistband is perfect--not high-waisted, thick and stretchy, and fits just right without digging in like some that I've tried. My only complaint is that I wish these came in more lengths. A bit longer and this would be the perfect pair! Despite ordering the "longer" 28" inseam, the legs are still a bit short on me, but the cuffs are fitted and with tall socks my ankles should be sufficiently protected. I've ordered a second pair and am looking forward to wearing them to Red River Gorge in a few weeks.

I used these hiking up a couple mountains & I will say they are great quality, very soft, comfortable & nice for hiking. My only complaint is obviously they are very thin so if it’s very cold outside you mayyyy be a little chilly- but if you’re gonna be hiking and getting warmer or sweating for long periods then you should be just fine. It’s not see through, and it’s a good material where you can sweat in it & it’ll eventually dry & still feel comfy. I love the pockets they came in handy for snacks or if I didn’t wanna carry my wallet & love that they have zippers so nothing falls out. I give them a 100000/10 :))

I can't rave about this product enough! I've now purchased 3 pairs of these pants. The first pair I think I bought 4 or 5 years ago and I STILL have them. They have no thin spots, no holes, no pilling, and essentially look new! These pants are breathable and dry quickly. They don't easily accept stains. For example, I have worn them around children with paint many times and worn them while outdoors gardening too and nothing has left a stain i couldn't wash out! They have a great stretch to them and though my weight has bounced up and down about 15 - 20 lbs, they still managed to fit throughout. These Baleaf hiking pants might be designed for hiking but honestly I just wear them all the time. I prefer modest fashion and they aren't too tight and they don't easily show cellulite. They have a higher waist and come in 2 lengths! I buy the shorter length. The material is soft and durable! I usually wear a size 8 in pants and with these I purchase a Medium every time. The pants have zipper close pockets, making them great for collecting shells and pebbles while walking/hiking with children! Though I have 3 pairs I plan to still buy more. The colors are really pretty, I have the slate blue, the lilac and the darkest blue. They are very wrinkle resistant too!

I usually give all of my Baleaf items 5 stars. First, my only complaint is that they wrinkle. I mean WRINKLE. My Baleaf UPF shirts are almost Un-Wrinkleable. I always take my clothes out of the dryer immediately so as to get them fresh, before there is a chance for them to wrinkle. These pants are crazy. I can't them fast enough to stop the wrinkles. The fit is great, the pockets are great, the fabric is thick enough. I just don't understand why they wrinkle so easily.

I really like this brand. I've bought several styles numerous times. I'm happy they have xs. The pants are so relaxed and loose you might want to size down. One thing with this company is inconsistent sizing. One xs will fit great then the next pair is too big ir just cut differently. So, you are taking a chance on size. They are always packaged nice and are in good shape upon arrival. The colors are nice and do not fade. I wash on gentle cycle and hang dry . They have help up very nicely over the years.

Ce pantalon est tout simplement incroyable !! Il est beau, confortable et très pratique pour l’extérieur. Il flatte bien les courbes et paraît bien. Je l’adore !!

It’s beyond what i expected

Son súper cómodos! Yo siempre batallo para que los pants se me vean bien, porque siempre se me ven raros como si trajera un pañal, y estos me quedan perfectos! Creo que es por el detalle de la tela elástica de la parte de arriba que es delgada. Se sienten frescos pero siento que como segunda capa (debajo unos térmicos) quedarían muy bien para el frío.

Estan super comodos frescos y me gusto que tienen varios bolsillos. Los recomiendo

I'm a painter and struggle to find a decent pair of work pants that are light, breathable, and look cute. (Most of my work pants are men's) These are definitely the ones! They are so stretchy for bending, climbing ladders, etc. and so soft, it hardly feels like you're wearing pants! I'll definitely be ordering more so I can live in these 24/7. Fit true to size, for reference I'm around 145 lbs, 5' 3" and a medium fit like a dream. Definitely high rise as advertised, sit just above the belly button.
