If being in an outdoor recreation store makes you feel like a kid in a candy store, chances are you go in for one thing and leave with a cart full of things you didn’t even know you needed. For that reason — and the sake of your wallet — sometimes the safest way to keep your wallet from taking a hit while shopping for outdoor essentials is by doing so online.
As the overall best-seller in the retailer’s category of women’s athletic pants, the Mocoly Water Resistant Hiking Pants are a standout style thanks to their versatility, comfortable fit, generous pockets, and the impressive range of colors you can snag them in.
The pants — which are made from a durable water repellent polyester blend — are meant to keep you cool and dry, whether your summer adventures take place on a trail or in a stream. “These are some of my favorite hiking pants,” said one reviewer. “The drawstring around the ankles is a nice additional feature to keep the pants secured around the calf or around the top of a hiking shoe. The pockets are great and add for additional storage during hikes. They are lightweight and breathable.”

The popular drawstring pants also come equipped with built-in UPF coverage to help protect against sun exposure. And thanks to an elastic ribbed waistband and ribbed ankle cuffs, they offer full mobility with four-way stretch and an adjustable fit.
“I bought these to go kayaking in Florida in December. They absolutely are water resistant, as well as super comfortable, [and] the size chart was spot on,” one shopper said. “The material is a bit stretchy too. I also wore them to hike in Wisconsin… It was 35 degrees and windy on the shore of Lake Michigan. I wore these over a heavy base layer and it was very comfortable.”
