A Fitting Guide for a Long-Baseline, Non-Perforated Running Pants for the Adventurer on Long Hiking Trips

While Trimble says many hikers opt for shorts when the mercury soars, he prefers well-vented, breathable, lightweight pants for sun protection and for defense against bugs and abrasion. For ventilation, he suggests opting for hiking pants with mesh vents or those made of other types of breathable materials including nylon or polyester.

Finally, if you’re backpacking with a hip belt, “it’s a great idea to test out your weighted pack with your pants, belt, shirt and even the underwear you plan to wear while hiking,” Trimble says. “Walk a few loops around the block and see if you feel any rubbing and friction. The added pressures of the hip belt can cause irritation by belt loops, seams and friction between materials. On a number of occasions, I’ve ended up with injuries on my hips and lower back due to the friction on long hikes. Testing this out before a hike can help hikers stay comfortable on longer hikes.”
