flattering, athletic fit, nice quality fabric that is light for summer, versatile enought to wear to work then to the gym

Why All This Extra Material??

I have been buying these pants for years and they have been my go-to for hiking, about-town etc. I have a more straight-up and -down body type and loved the high rise and narrow-hip silhouette which also fell at a perfect length. Apparently the fit was completely changed about a year ago, and with the new pants, I look like I'm wearing jodhpurs, huge in the hips, seat and thighs. Big fail.

Flattering And Comfy

I bought these pants to use as sun protection while I instruct Lifeguard courses and work on the pool deck. I also use them for travel and casual hiking. I love how flattering and professional they look, while being comfortable and easy to wear. Bonus that they aren't too warm in 90 degree weather and repel water! I recommend considering sizing down for a tighter fit after a few washes and lots of use. However, I just ordered a second pair in my true size because I enjoy the relaxed fit. Highly recommend for anyone looking for versatile sun protective pants.

Fits under a harness. Zip pocket for your phone. Tapered so you can see your feet. Excellent movement and stretch through the hips and knees. Sturdy fabric that may pill but hasn't ripped. Fast drying. I love these for multipitch days and gym days from spring to late fall. A+ climbing pants for any level of experience.

Too Big!

I love the quality and styling, but this XS is huge! I have other Mountain Hardware hiking pants in xs that fit perfectly and that I love, so I expected to love these as well, but they’re falling off. They’re big in the waist and legs. I’m so disappointed

Best Pants Ever

These are the most comfortable and versatile pants I’ve ever own. They let you maneuver without losing shape. I wear them every day. Zippered pockets in front make it trim - no gap-osis.

Most Have A Pair!

❤️ love them, super comfortable. Can be use both for casual were and dressy occasions

Bring Back Prior Leg Pocket Design!

I was a HUGE fan of these pants (great fit, love material) until you changed design of leg pocket. It now has a vertical (vs more horizontal) zipper so no longer securely holds items (if not fully zipped) and isn’t large enough for passport when traveling, please bring back prior design!

Love Love And Please Add A Drawstring!

I love these pants for all outside, especially bouldering. Fabric holds up and has plenty of stretch for high feet. My only request for future design is please add a draw string!! The fabric loosens up quite a bit during wear and a drawstring at the waist would be so helpful to keep the pants in place when topping out.

These Pants Are Almost Perfect!

OK, I've bought so many hiking pants over the years, always trying to find the *perfect* pant for me. These come pretty dang close. I wore them to summit Mt. Whitney this summer and to backpack in the Enchantments, in addition to lots of other day hikes. Here's why I love them: the stretch is good, the high waistband is so comfy and flattering, and the POCKETS are perfect!! Drop in with zipper is so much better than the angled, non-zippered ones on the regular dynama pant. Pockets can hold my iPhone 17 pro sideways - so that's great! And the fabric is so good at wicking sweat and is very breathable. Why they're not perfect: The length is just a little too short and I'm 5'4". I get that this is supposed to be an ankle pant, but I mainly bought it for the high stretchy waistband + pockets vs. the regular dynama and I'm making do with the length. This isn't a huge issue for me but I do wish they came down to my shoe tops. The stretch is REALLY stretchy. Like after a day of backpacking my pants are falling down - they need to be washed to regain shape, which makes them not great for trips longer than a night. I wish there was a tie in the waistband to help keep them up. If I could get the perfect blend of this pant with the regular dynama pant I'd be the happiest customer and buy it in every color - stretchy high waist like this but with an adjuster tie (NO zipper/button) to mitigate the stretchiness, drop-in zippered side pockets like these (keep them exactly the same), and another longer inseam option (30" maybe?).

Excellent Fit.

I bought two pairs last year. Love the fit. Great for traveling - hiking/climbing then dress them up for a nicer dinner. They wear out a little fast but I am not easy on my gear :)

Same Comfy Active Pants With Slightly Different Fit

I love these pants. So I went to purchase more as my old pairs were wearing out. These new pairs are good, but a slightly different fit and cut. Still like them, but like the older ones better.

My Favorite Dynama Pant For Someone Not Too Tall.

I have many pairs of these and other Dynama pants. I am 5'3" so the ankle pant works well for me. I love that there are only zipped pockets because the other Dynama pants front pockets stick out and catch on things easily.

Newer Cut Is Very Unflattering

I own 3 pairs of Dynama High Waist Ankle Pants and 1 pair of regular Dynama Ankle Pants and i love them to bits. So you can imagine my excitement when I saw there were new colors out in 2025 to add to my collection. I was at first a little confused and then pretty much disheartened when I realized the newer cut (includes the color Warm Ash) was so much larger in the thigh, cut rather too high in the waist so now it sits a couple inches even higher and is longer in the seam. However the waist and calf size is still the same so it's not like i can size down. Disappointed because I want to keep buying the new shades but I do not trust the fit at all anymore.

Fantastic Pants.

I bought 2 pair of these pants and absolutely love them. They have great ease of movement and soft feel. Love the pocket location and size. 5’7”, 170 lbs, the L is a perfect fit. I wear them quite a bit playing pickleball for sun protection. Will definitely buy these again!
