    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!

    Perfect For Warm Weather!

    I like the fabric and the fit. Perfect for travel pants and hiking.

    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?).

    Great Travel Pants

    Great travel pants! They are lightweight and rinse out/dry in no time at all.

    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 :)

    High-rise Feels Too High, Medium Is Too Large

    Had to return. I hadn't realized I ordered a high waisted fit, I thought it meant longer fit instead of a Capri. I dont mind high rise but these were too high for me, and im 5'10" The reason im giving a 3 star is that over the 5 years of buying the dynama pants, the medium size is getting larger and stretchier, making me need to downsize to a small in order for a proper medium fit. It runs large, but only stretches out to get larger through wear, and although I know to start ordering down a size, it doesnt seem fair that the sizing is wildy different from other medium brands. The dynama pants are amazing, but size down or try them on in a store if possible.

    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.

    Love These Pants!

    These are the perfect, lightweight pants. Great for travel. Easy to dress up or go casual. Extremely comfortable and non binding. Quick drying, wrinkle free. Just wish they came in more colors.

    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!

    Perfect Travel Pant

    Love these ankle pants. I’ve been searching for the perfect travel pant and finally found these. Very lightweight, they don’t wrinkle. No buttons or zippers. I plan to sleep in these on the airplane. Great for casual or dressing up. I now own three pairs. I would buy every color if Mtn Hardware would make more.
