— I wore my Ponderosa pants while walking for at least 8 hours a day in Spain and never felt more comfortable. I’ve never worn a pair of pants that fit my body so perfectly. I love the belt to adjust the waist. The length is a tiny bit long for me but not enough to create bunching or drag on the ground. And they look good on me — Myles B.

— These pants have become my go-to hiking pants. I hike pretty much every weekend and often take my camera with me. Because I photograph, I bend, stoop, and squat a lot. The built-in belt is genius! It allows me to make sure the pants fit, no matter the time of day, and nobody gets a free show while I’m photographing. The pockets are also amazing. Plenty of space to put my lens cap etc in while shooting. But also the depth keeps thing safe and sound! The amount of chapsticks and small items I’ve lost on the trail because other pants’ pockets are too shallow is atrocious. Not in the Ponderosa Pants! Much care was taken with all the details. — Valerie

— I am a very **aggressive** mountain fit, and for the first time, I don’t feel like I had to choose between sizes because of my butt vs my waist. I went on a river trip with lots of rafting and kayaking, and I’m happy to report that there was zero butt crack to be seen. Highly recommend!! Also, this company is BIPOC female owned, which I am always down to support. — Tania A.
