Breathe the fresh air and enjoy nature: the best way to do this is on a hike. You don’t need much equipment, but a few basics like functional women’s hiking pants should be included. VAUDE has environmentally friendly hiking pants with well-designed details for any hike – from a slow-paced family hike in the summer to ambitious multi-day hikes with exposure to the elements.
Short, long, 3/4 or petite: the cut and fit of women’s hiking pants.
Whether or not hiking pants are right for your shape and your plans not only depends on the material. The cut and fit are also important factors. On the one hand, women’s hiking pants come in a variety of cuts. But whether or not you need long hiking pants or hiking shorts usually depends on the weather or season. Our zip off hiking pants are the compromise here: in a wink, they transform from long pants into hiking shorts. This is particularly practical on long hikes, when you want to minimize your baggage, and also if the weather is extremely variable. Women’s hiking pants with ¾ legs could also be a solution if is isn’t very warm or you want to protect your knees against the sun or scratches. For everyone who loves to wear leggings, robust hiking tights are the right choice.
Hiking pants and hiking tights come in a range of shapes. Some of our VAUDE hiking pants for women are available in petite sizes. With hiking pants for petites, you don’t have to roll up the legs. Women’s hiking pants in petite sizes fit your shape optimally. Slim-fit models are cut extra narrow to keep things from sliding.
The soft waistband adjusts to fit your waist and ensures that nothing pinches or rubs if you are hiking with a backpack. In the pockets of your hiking pants, there is room for important things: an energy bar, smartphone or tissues can be safely stowed there.
Women’s hiking pants for any season
Depending on the type of hike you enjoy, different materials are the right ones. Women’s hiking pants made from softshell fabric are ideal for cooler weather. Hiking pants with a lining are worthwhile in the winter. Even when the temperature is low, they keep your legs warm. In the summer, on the contrary, it is important to wear hiking pants that are airy and breathable to prevent you from perspiring excessively, even on strenuous hike in the mountains.
Our long and short hiking pants for women are made from lightweight, environmentally friendly materials and all focus on the same thing: providing you with plenty of freedom of movement. A high stretch content and special pre-shaped knees ensure that your pants move when you do. Even steep ascents or sections that require climbing are no problem with stretchy hiking pants. However, the material should also be robust and resistant to greater strain.
Environmentally friendly women’s hiking pants from VAUDE
Outdoors in nature is the best place to be – and we want it to remain that way. This is why our hiking pants for women are made from very environmentally friendly materials. Recycled materials are used in their production: from used tires by applying a mass balance approach, for example. Castor oil-based polyamide is another resource-conserving alternative. This bio-based plastic keeps the carbon footprint small. Find out more about sustainable materials. Our women’s hiking pants with Ecofinish are also water-resistant and do not contain any PFC.
VAUDE also values fair production conditions. Our hiking pants for women have the rigorous VAUDE Green Shape sustainability label that stands for fair production conditions. Find out more about Green Shape.
The bluesign(R) certificate ensures that our production processes conserve resources. The Green Button government certification, which most of our women’s hiking pants have, ensures high social and environmental production standards.
