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

Hiking pants are more comfortable than I anticipated. Soft, lightweight, and enough pockets. Fit nicely with great length, which most pants are too long.

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 love their warm winter leggings and they really hold up, so I wanted to try these joggers for work during the summer time (pediatric home health; on the floor a lot). They did not disappoint! They are super lightweight but still great quality that doesn’t appear to smudge easily. Love the 4 zipper pockets! Very comfortable and functional. I got an XL. A little loose throughout the leg but perfect at the waistband. I’ll be ordering more colors!

Comfortable, great stretch, perfect fit that is true to size. These were perfect for a hiking trip to Utah and so comfy I will wear them Eve bc when I’m not hiking. They are very thin, so they kept me cool out in the desert. I love all of the pockets and that some of them are zippered.

The pants fit really nice. However the picture shows more of a dusty blue color and these are definitely more of a royal blue. I bought these for a short day trip, so ill have to make do. I don't care for royal blue, so disappointed there.

I love these! They're light, comfortable, stretchy, and I like that the pockets zip. I'm 5 ft 2, I got a small and the length is accurate. I hang dry them after washing as to not damage the fabric. They have gotten snagged on things with no rips, tears, or threads after because of the stretchiness. The zipper sometimes will catch the fabric when trying to close them. Best to hold the bottom of the outside of the pocket to zip up.

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.
