The Ponderosa Pants are our flagship, award-winning product that were designed from scratch to shake up the industry. Everyone deserves clothing that makes them feel comfortable, protected, and prepared, and we understand the need for apparel that can withstand whatever you may throw its way. The "Pondos," as we lovingly call them, are a wardrobe staple whether you're traveling, summiting a new peak, walking your dog around the block, or grabbing a coffee with a friend. They were made with extensive feedback from real, amazing people, designed to be your adventure bffs.
NOTE: These are the 2023 style of Ponderosa Pants - our 2024 Pondos have had some updates to their size charts. We will not be restocking this version, so get them while you can!

Wash in cold water with a mild detergent. Tumble dry on low heat or hang to dry. We don’t recommend ironing your pants, but you can use the nylon setting (low heat) for a quick touch-up if needed.
Tested on hundreds of fit models and developed from the ground up, the Ponderosa Pants come in two unique Fit Styles to celebrate your shape and move with you.
We highly recommend checking out the size chart and choosing the size that fits you best, according to your measurements.
For a more leggings-like fit, choose a size down; for a looser fit, choose a size up. If your measurements are a perfect match for a given size, they'll fit like a pair of stretch jeans.
When rolled up, the inseam of the pants decrease by approximately 10".
