Columbia’s Hiking Pants Are Perfect for Traveling

From hiking in a Puerto Rican rainforest to swimming under waterfalls, ice climbing, and walking for miles around Disneyland on a hot day, reviewers say they’ve done it all in Columbia’s aptly-named Anytime Outdoor Pants. Add to that golfing, farm work, multi-day backpacking trips, and more. These versatile adventure pants pass tests across the globe.

Thousands of shoppers have given them a five-star rating on Amazon, ranking them among the brand’s most popular styles of hiking pants. Now is the time to give them a try, and not just because you have an action-packed vacation coming up. Right now, the pants are 44 percent off, making them under $50.

Columbia Anytime Bootcut Outdoor Pants

What’s special about these Columbia bottoms is that they don’t look like your average active cargo pants. The bootcut silhouette looks a little dressier, and the hidden pockets are great if you want to go hands-free while traveling. There isn’t a single tactical snap fastener or jingle-jangling zipper in sight. 

“I could wear these pants anywhere,” one Amazon reviewer wrote. “To work, for a bike ride, out to dinner, even to bed. They are so versatile and comfortable.” People say they’ve even worn them to church. One bought them to kayak in on their Alaskan cruise and wound up wearing them with heels to dinner. How’s that for versatility?

Just because the pants conceal their technicality well doesn’t mean they lack the high-performance features Columbia is known for. They are water- and stain-repellent, made with a tightly-woven Omni-Shade material that offers UPF 50 protection. Even then, plenty of people say the durable pants offer stretchy comfort to take them to a yoga class or even a long flight. “I’ve been calling these my airplane pants,” wrote another Amazon shopper.

Available in black, blue, and khaki, the pants come in sizes 2 to 24, along with short sizes.
