Mountain Hardwear

Hardwear AP Pant - Men's

Only suitable for slim people

If you squat and deadlift a lot, please don't buy these pants. No stretch, only suitable for office.

Rigid material and tight on the quads

Ordered in the same size I normally do for semi-fitted pants and I can't bring my leg up to a 90 degree knee. If you have big quads definitely avoid.

weird cut, too tight

I had high hopes because so many websites gave it good reviews for travel pants and I have had good luck with Mountain Hardwear in the past. I am 6' 160# into endurance sports. These pants are ridiculously tight around my thighs and crotch. They feel like compression tights but fit fine around the waist. I am not sure who the target audience for these pants are but it doesn't seem like a realistic choice unless one has very slim legs. :(

Great pants at regular price better now

This pats an are great roomy and they don’t look crazy for use around the office. I’ve used this to take small hikes with the kids after work cookouts, weekend projects and warehouse work. The pockets are spacious and mesh so heat is able to escape. They are not as breathable as full synthetic but are great for all weather other than full summer. These made me stop using jeans.

Too small

I like the look, but it fits very slim and non-thick thighed people. Returned.

Poor fit

Very tight through seat and thighs. Minimal stretch in fabric to compensate. Not suitable for active use IMO. Returned

Good pants but not for climbing

Not stretchy enough to climb. No high steps allowed. Good for hiking

Excellent material but....

Familiarity:

I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions

Really like these pants and will be able to use for all types of situations. They definitely run small in the waist and the length was longer (designed to roll up though). I suggest sizing up if you have a muscular build. I usually have some give in size 38. None with these though.

Outdoorsy looks with 0 capability

I don't really understand what these pants are for. They have some techy/active/outdoor details and looks but don't have DWR, gusseted crotch, or nearly enough stretch. Absolutely horrible range of motion. Could barely walk my dog in them let alone attempt a highstep for rock climbing. Not cozy/stretchy enough for lounge/camp wear, not discrete enough for casual wear, and not technical enough for active wear.

Good pants

I like the pants, fit pretty true to size. My only issue is they feel tight in the thighs. Love the pants, great fit around waist and legs, just tight in the thigh area.
