At Arc’teryx we do it all, so we need a do-almost-anything pant. Think big steep hikes followed by coaching the soccer game to pints at the new brew pub. Yes, we make hiking pants, but we make them so they handle daily life just as easily as an after work scramble. We need clothing that is versatile in both action and style, and our hiking pants have so many options. Zippered cargo pockets. Drop-in pockets. Easy to access everything. Articulated patterning. Put them on and win the day.

THE MOST COMFORTABLE WOMEN’S PANTS ANYWHERE

There are a lot of factors that make a pair of pants comfortable: the fit, the fabric they’re made of, and whether they have any features built in that will help you do the activities you love more easily. For example, more relaxed fitting pants are usually used for more casual wear, whereas tight-fitting leggings in a durable technical fabric are more purpose-built for hiking or mountain running. It really all depends on what you are doing, and how you like your pants to fit.

LEGGINGS AND TIGHTS FOR ADVENTUROUS WOMEN

Arc’teryx makes all sorts of pants for women and as active outdoor enthusiasts, we know that leggings for women should be durable, as well as performance-focused. Style, colour, and length are as important as highly abrasion resistant material that breathes and stretches as long as the summer solstice.
