Cresta Standard Fit Hiking Pant - Men's

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"These are my go-to hiking pants for long days on technical terrain. The Cresta Hiking Pants are lightweight but super durable—I’ve scraped through brush and boulders with no issues. The water-resistant finish and stretch mean I stay dry and mobile whether I'm navigating alpine scree or soggy singletrack."

When we head into the mountains, we want pants that can keep up with our every move—and the Cresta Standard Fit Hiking Pants do just that. Designed with ultratough, abrasion-resistant nylon and a touch of spandex, these pants offer the perfect balance of durability, stretch, and comfort for demanding hikes and daily outdoor wear.

The lightweight build breathes well during fast ascents and offers UPF 50+ sun protection for exposed ridgelines. The articulated knees and gusseted crotch give us full range of motion for scrambling or bouldering, and the water-resistant finish sheds light moisture with ease. We love the low-profile zippered cargo and back pockets, which keep essentials secure without extra bulk. Whether we’re trekking through thick brush or crossing sun-soaked ridgelines, the Cresta Hiking Pants are built to explore.
