I hiked 550 miles in one stretch on the Pacific Crest trail wearing these pants.

Before ordering these pants, I covered 250 miles in lightweight REI hiking pants, but within days my legs broke out in hives. As it turns out, most hiking pants on the market are almost exclusively polyester, nylon, and spandex-type blends, and super unbreathable (which can lead to heat rash). These previous pants also ripped all over from walking through brush, climbing over fallen trees, etc.

I switched to these nearly 100% cotton pants and THEY WERE AMAZING. Even in the desert, they were breathable enough to not get too hot and cleared my heat rash. They fit comfortably, never ripped, and kept out all kinds of grit, dirt, and dust thanks to a longer inseam (the only length available when I ordered all ran long, which turned out to be preferable for hiking anyway!) Also, it's worth noting, I was able to start doing all kinds of stretches and yoga during breaks, because these pants are so well-sewn and made to be flexible!

these pants feel indestructible! thick material is incredibly sturdy, solid pockets and hems, high back is great to coverage, and lower front is nice to flexibility. the only thing I don't love is the pocket on the front of the right thigh, it does kind of restrict movement on that leg. I ordered size 10 which is a little big and I'm usually an 8 so I do need to wear a belt, but for the winter they will fit thermals underneath nicely.

Love the fit and features

OMG... I LOVE these pants! My first pair of Dovetail and they are such good quality, fit perfectly and the color is awesome. SUPER HAPPY!!! My new favorites :)

YAY! I finally found well made heavy weight canvas pants. I’d been trying to patch an ancient pair of old heavyweight canvas carrharts and finding these Dovetail pants has saved me from further patchwork mending necessity. Definitely 5 star all around.
