Looking for some hiking joggers

Hello, I’m looking for some hiking joggers I can throw on over shorts for cold mornings/evenings and to get through areas of scratchy plants and such.

Ideally they’d be unlined, since I’m looking for more of a light shell than something insulating. Cinch cuffs aren’t absolutely necessary, but would be nice.

I guess what I’m looking for would be something like wind pants?

Thanks so much!

Ya, you are describing wind pants. Montbell Tachyon pants should be great for that. They’re super light, pack small, and the fabric is really durable. The cuffs can be cinched as well.

I’ll look into those, thanks!

Patagonia Terrabonne joggers are awesome! They’re lightweight, comfortable, and block the wind really well. Check them out if you can.

Second this! I finally grabbed a pair on sale and wish I had done so sooner.

For chilly mornings, I love Vuori joggers. They are super comfortable, though I don’t hike in them. They’re a bit on the pricey side, but if you’re looking for comfort, they’re great. For hiking, I prefer my Eddie Bauer Accent pants – durable, comfortable, and they come with a lifetime guarantee.

Following because my beloved REI x Outdoor Afro Pants ripped in a very inconvenient spot during a scrambly hike.

FYI, I’m looking at these pants from REI. They’re a bit heavier than I wanted, but the full-length zipper is a feature I’d love for easy on-and-off and ventilation.

I absolutely love my Outdoor Research Ferrosi pants, and I think they check all your boxes. I got mine at REI.

I have a pair of Patagonia joggers that are pretty similar to what you’re describing. I don’t love the drawstring, and the cuffs are a bit too tight to roll up, but they come with a lifetime repair, which is a big plus.

I picked up some Wrangler All Terrain Gear hiking pants at Target for $30. They also have joggers, which are decent for a budget option.

I have a pair of pull-on Mountain Hardware Chockstone pants that are awesome for this. Not sure if they fit what you’re looking for, but they’re worth considering.

Amazon sells cheap dance pants that hold up really well and weigh next to nothing. They could be an option if you’re looking for something super light.

I really love my REI Trailmade pants, and they just came out with a jogger version recently.
