$23 Hiking Pants that Feel Like $100 Pants || I LOVE these Budget Hiking Pants!

Performance clothing for hiking and backpacking can be EXPENSIVE! Hiking pants are no exception. But these pants for hiking and backpacking cost me only $23 and have lasted me over a year after going on every hike and backpacking trip since I bought them. You don't have to spend $100 for great hiking pants that are comfortable, dry quickly, look great, and feel amazing! These $23 budget hiking pants are so good, I don't think I'll ever buy a different kind for as long as Wrangler keeps on making them!

I got tired of waiting for Walmart or Target to have my size, so I ordered them directly from Wrangler. It was only $3 more and if you get two, the shipping is free. They fit great and I will be asking my personal seamstress to add elastic embedded in the cuff. They seem to be a bit long, so this will shorten them up nicely to avoid snags while walking.

@DoseofDirt 2 жыл бұрын

Ya, Walmart seems to be having a tough time with that lately! Good call ordering them directly from Wrangler! $3 more isn't bad at all--still less than $30 overall! Ya, elastic in the cuff is one of the only things missing. No skilled seamstresses at my house, but someone else mentioned that they were able to cut a hole in the cuff, put some shock cord in, and then glue the cut so it doesn't fray. I may try my hand at that because it would make these pants perfect! Thanks for watching! And for the tip on ordering directly from Wrangler!

I Googled "best hiking pants for the money" and one of the search results mentioned these pants or a iteration of them anyways. I bought 2 pair from Walmart and have never looked back. Mine are not baggy though so they may have changed the design a bit in the last few years as brands tend to do. They are basically fitted except for the leg opening which is a little big in my opinion, but I'm not complaining. They have enough stretch to wear with layers underneath and light enough to wear in hot weather. I wear them at work too where I have to look somewhat presentable. They are almost a dress pant so you can sort of dress them up if you need to. I've even used them as pajama pants they are that comfortable which makes them great for camping because you can literally sleep in them. Probably the most versatile pants I've ever owned. I probably wouldn't wear them on a concrete job or somwhere that requires VERY durable clothing, but they are quite durable outside of missions or jobs that require particularly durable materials. Just buy them.

I found this video of yours because of another video I was looking at of yours on sleep pads. I wholeheartedly agree these pants are incredible. I found them by chance at my Walmart in Canada and for $35 CDN in 2022 they are a steal. I bought the olive colour ones first and can't say enough great things about them as you pointed out and then went back and got a pair of the sand coloured ones. I have used the olive coloured ones on lots of trips in the backcountry and have hundreds of KM on them through all sorts of terrain and weather and lots of washing cycles and they are incredible even if they were double the price. I need to see if they have any other colours but I plan to get a few more and finding 32 X 30 was no issue for me and I was surprised I found the 30 inseam to be honest. At 5'8" which is not crazy short, it seems most pants start at a 32 inseam so these ones fit perfect. I also wear them under my motorcycle pants and anyone who rides will tell you jeans are horrible to ride in under your protective pants since they have no give and are uncomfortable. These were great on the trails and on the bike.

@DoseofDirt Жыл бұрын

YES! These pants are seriously the best for everything. I've worn them hiking, backpacking, trekking, canoeing, to work, to church, and even sleep in them on my backpacking trips. Seriously my go-to pant for everything! Thanks for watching!

I bought 2 pair online after watching this video. I’ve had em for 4mths and literally not worn jeans since (frequent washings). They do not look too “technical” or outdoorsy, etc. per the washing instructions, wash em inside-out in cold water, and don’t dry w/ high heat. I usually air dry mine. Ordering more.

I've heard about those before from other youtubers and looked at them in the stores. Target also carries them for slightly more. I haven't picked them up as they felt a little heavy. Instead I picked up two pairs of hiking pants on the cheap on clearance. One pair was from a local Columbia outlet store (just over $20) and the other was a Swiss Alps brand from local sports outlet store (Sierra) for $12. The only downfall was since they were on clearance not a big choice on leg length (I have short legs) so I had a family member hem them.

I discovered similar ones (without cargo pockets, but with bungee ankle cuffs) at Target and couldn’t agree more. They’re fantastic. I did look for more and got a couple different variations because they didn’t have the same model, and hate them. Same size as original but baggie bottoms, too long, waste too big, etc. So not all models fit the the same.

FYI: I just discovered the Wrangler ATG Convertible Trail Jogger that have some differences that would make up for your single dislike. They have both adjustable leg drawcord and a built in waste belt and are tapered. No size zip pockets but the top of the pockets are cut with more of a dip which I prefer to these. They do seem to run a bit long so I sized down one of length. I found mine at a Lee/Wranger outlet for $24.99. My new favorite hiking/dog walking/fishing, knock around pants.

I hadn't thought about it, but I think you are right. These do seem a bit longer than my other pants with the same inseam. Maybe it's because the crotch is so long on them? I don't know.

Actually in a pair right now coincidentally for that very reason...waistline isn't too happy but its not painful since theyre wider and have that bit of stretch thats currently maxed out.

I've been wearing on sale hiking pants for most of a decade, but I bought them to play tennis. Sunscreening legs every day is a pain. I also hike/packed in them along the way. Time for a new pair! NOTE: you can add an elastic band on the cuff like we used to do when biking in the old days.

Thank you! You are right! One thing I love about wearing pants hiking now is I don't have to worry about my legs getting burnt or scratched or anything! Thanks for the tip on adding elastic to the cuff. Seems like it shouldn't be too tough, so I'll give it a shot. Thanks so much for watching!

Forget the pants. That is a WICKED dinosaur shirt! I want to know where you got that! I scored lucky with some Baleaf pants on Amazon for $10 a pair, similar construction as those I think. They have stretch, waterproof on the outside, and if your legs get sweaty, the moisture will pass out. Plus, $10 (not anymore though :( must have been a sale). They also have an elastic drawstring on the ankles that can be adjusted, which came in handy on a river ford. For $23 though, I think you scored solid. Can't ask for more than that for the price... you might be getting too much actually. 😂 Comfy hiking pants are amazing. I sometimes look for excuses to get out for a few hours just so I can wear them and feel legit about it.

I don't know if these are the exact same version I bought 3 years ago but for cheap "technical" pants they work great. Some cons I've ran into over that time though is, now that they have been through several wash cycles the spandex tends to wear out much faster, they will fit at the start of a hike and be sagging 30 mins later. The other con is the stitching for the cargo pockets tend to fail pretty quick and I almost lost some keys because of it (I just resewed the pocket shut). Otherwise these are some bomb proof pants, I have a friend who has been caving in them for a few months and even though they feel thin they haven't ripped yet and caving is usually very tough on clothing.
