Macpac Winter Hike Tights - Women's

Purchased pre Lake Angelus tramp last June and these pants crushed it - being bashed against rocks, bum sliding on snow (some pulling of seams post hike but I suspect that that’s probably because of the bum slide), kept me warm in the freezing temperatures and did relatively well keeping me dry. Very happy with the fit and they stay up well even with a pack pushing on the tops of them. Would absolutely recommend for winter adventures - they’ll be coming out of my drawers and being used thoroughly again soon 🤙🏼

I purchased these hike tights for a sunrise Mt Warning climb and they were brilliant. Kept me warm, so very comfortable...so, so, so very comfortable and I didn't have to worry about wrecking them on the rocks.
I bought a size 12 and they run true to size for me.
I will be purchasing another pair of these they are THAT good!

I love these pants so much I bought a second pair. They are very comfortable and finally a general travel/hiking pant that is a trim fit and looks stylish. Perfect for cooler weather and windy weather. Elasticated adjustable full waist you can wear them all day. I am usually a 12 in a pant but opted for size 14 and they a good fit with room for thermals under when really cold. We are heading to Patagonia for trekking later this year and they will definitely be in my kit for the trip. Best outdoor pant I have ever purchased.

These are the best soft shell pants. They are perfect for longing at home, dog walking and biking. They are very warm, so I wouldnt wear them in conditions above 10 degree temperatures, so ideal for Canberra winter dog walking. I bought my usual size 12 in Macpac pants and they have the fit of slightly loose tights. The elastic waist is slightly tight, however this means a belt isnt necessary.

Overall these are a great pair of versatile pants. Pros:
- Durable - I wear them climbing 2-3 days a week and they have put up with many a kneebar on sharp abrasive rocks.
- Warm!
- Stretchy
- Big (but not chunky or obvious) pockets
Cons:
- They pill extremely quickly and become very rough to the touch.
- The zippers on the pockets can dig in a little to your hip bones if you a wearing a harness or waist strap on a pack.

I really struggled to find a pair of tights rather than pants to hike in. These were they only ones I could find. The name of these pants suggested they were fleece lined, but they are not. They also run large by almost a full size and a bit too wide around the skin/ankle area. In saying all of that, I still really like them and they are so much better than hiking pants.

These pants are just the best ever for winter walks. They're so comfortable I'm reluctant to change out of them when I get home, preferring to keep them on all day teamed with a longish jumper. My husband wishes there was something similar for chaps like him who feel the cold.

These are my all time favorite winter pants - I have worn them each of the 4 days since I purchased them. They have seen me right through horse riding in a miserable wet southerly, walking the dog on cold nights, running, out to movies, dinner and hanging at home. I have taken them off to sleep, but am yet to wash them - they appear to be perfectly (miraculously) clean. They are warm, stretchy hard wearing. I am astounded by their stellar performance. If they didn't have the logo on the leg, I would be sorely tempted to wear them to work. Doubt not potential purchasers. These are the winter activity pants of your dreams come true. Bless you Macpac!

The best thing about these tights/pants is the comfort factor. Having the wide elastic waist band instead of a belt meant my pack had nothing to rub against and I didn't get the usual red marks on my hips after a three day tramp. They're also super stretchy which was nice for boulder hopping and big step ups where my usual trekking pants are a bit restrictive. The fabric is a bit heavier which was great for protecting my legs in the scrub but would be too warm outside of the cooler months I think. They also dried quickly after river crossings which was impressive as I thought they might soak up water and stay wet being a thicker fabric. If you like the feeling of hiking in exercise tights but need a pant that will actually offer you some protection and durability in predominantly cooler weather then I would highly recommend. I found the fit pretty standard for Macpac, I usually wear a 10 and that was spot on for these.
