    Perfect for Bikepacking

    I brought the Sun Dog Pants along on a bikepacking trip and loved how lightweight and comfy they were! They were easy to move in while riding, and comfortable enough to wear throughout the day. Definitely a great option when you want a little more coverage without feeling weighed down.

    Fantastic for bike packing

    A great option for when the weather gets chilly. The fabric is incredibly comfortable and the design is perfect for pedaling. The yoga style waistband with drawstring is a plus!

    All Sun Dog’s Go to Heaven

    These pants are sick! They’re light, breathable, and the pockets are large enough for my big stupid phone. Waist band is perfect amount of compression. I have quads and quite the round thing in your face, and these pants fit it all, not too tight and just the right amount of baggy.

    Great for cycling!!

    Got a side 12 for my normal size.. fits perfectly. Also got a size 14 on sale and it will be perfect for adding Smartwool leggins winter layers. Love the flexible waist because I’ve got a Mama belly now!. Bicycle Happiness!!

    Perfect pants for hiking

    I got my very first Sun Dog Pant and I already love it! I am not a mountain biker, but these pants are so versatile and can be used for any outdoor activities. I love to go on a hike and can’t wait to wear it on my next hiking trip. The materials used in this pant is amazing, love the way it feels next to your skin, very soft yet stretchy.
    I love the cute logo design on the buttons too! Overall I highly recommend it for any outdoor activities.
    Also love the personal touch on each delivery. Please take a look at my pictures, don’t you love the way they use CC tapes on each package they send?

    Love these pants

    Just bought my second pair. These are so comfortable, fun, and look great! I get lots of compliments while wearing them.
    I have noticed a little piling on my first pair, but I also wear these for field work (hiking around poking at rocks). Still love them!

    maternity waistband for the win!

    The stretchy waistband is what makes these pants such a delight. No pinching when riding. The color (mustard yellow) is unique. I am tall (5’11”) so they fit more like 3/4 pants, but that doesn’t take away from the functionality. Pockets on the rear make my butt look better than usual.

    The Best All Purpose Pant

    Got these pants at a mountain bike festival and wore them all weekend long! Super comfortable, extremely high quality, and very flattering fit! I’ve worn them climbing and to work as a casual pant and I’ll be looking to grab a pair in a different color soon!

    Best climbing pants to ever be created

    These are the only pants I will ever climb in, I get really hot usually and cant fathom the idea of covering my trunks, but with these? I literally only want wear them until the end of time.

    Plus the paisley print makes me feel like a badass

    Hot

    As usual the pieces exceed my exceptions. I found the brand at Sea Otter last year and really loved the quality of the materials, they just feel so good, but when I had to buy online I took some risk because I couldn’t touch or try what I was getting. The cut looks sooo good, the waist band alone is so incredibly flattering, I swear it makes me look better than I actually am. I am a more muted color girl so I hope you guys make some more subtle colors in the near future.

    Good, but hoping for some changes!

    These pants are very comfortable, but I would love it if they had the exact same pockets as the Sun Dog shorts, AND if you could possibly make a version that has a straight leg that would fit over a large hiking boot. The odd slit and snap ankle portion of the pant is not my fave, and means that rocks and other stuff get into my boots. Thanks!

    Amended review

    I have many Sun Dog pants, different colors, sizes 0 and 2. When I ordered this bandana print edition (size 0), I didn't realize they had enlarged the seat of the pants and diminished the cell phone pocket size. They are still nice pants, but with a baggy rear end and too-small side pocket, I won't be ordering any more. Bring back the 2025 sizing!

    So glad I purchased these!

    These are my first pair of mountain bike specific pants and I love them! I am glad I read reviews about the sizing. I followed other folks advice and went a size up from my regular size. For reference I am 5' 5" and around 135 pounds. I typically wear a size 6 or 28. The size 8 fits great. I love that the waist band is like a yoga pant band. I also really appreciate that you can put your knee pads on while wearing the pants.

    Perfect but prefer old style

    I love the Sun Dog Pant. I have a dozen, in several colors and a couple of sizes. Invaluable for travel. But I most like the original yellow and purple ones, with the top (elastic) color the same as the pant leg. Except for black, they now use a completely different color (which matches the lower leg patch). No matter -- I'll still buy them.

    My go-to's!

    I loved the old Sun Dogs and I might love these even more. A touch roomier, easier to get knee pads on/off, same superlight stretchy material so can I'm gonna rock these all summer.

    Love the pants and the shorts.

    I love the pants and shorts. I ride everyday and they are my favorite shorts. Stylish and comfortable as well.

    I got my cool pants. I got my cool pants on. (Obviously, sang in Will Ferrel voice)

    Seriously though, these pants are great. Breathable. Nice enough that I can wear em out to dinner post ride. Light weight, which is good for the summer humidity. Hopefully will protect me from the crazy poison ivy popping up all over. 😳

    FWIW, I’m 5’4” 130lbs and got a size 8 for a lovely relaxed fit. Très bien.

    Love!!

    So obsessed with these pants from the moment I put them on! So comfortable I haven’t wanted to take them off and I find myself reaching for them for any occasion whether it’s to go grab a quick coffee with friends or hitting the trails. Looking forward to getting more in other colors next!

    The adventure pants I’ve been looking for

    Super comfortable waist band, great thigh zipper pockets (makes use with a climbing harness awesome), two ankle diameter options, soft but durable fabric. I haven’t biked in them yet but they have been awesome to climb and hike in. I did have to size up from my normal size to get the fit I like to not restrict movement/not have the waist be to tight during climbing (from 8 to 10). I’m 5’5 and 140lbs

    10 and counting

    I have about 10 of these in different colors and a couple of sizes (0, 2). ESSENTIAL now in my wardrobe, for biking, hiking, and especially travel. Perfect for almost any occasion, and great substitute for sweatpants when you're staying at someone's home because they're comfortable, easy-on easy-off, and have a perfect phone pocket. I don't want to be on a plane without them. They have just enough detail to be interesting; I usually get compliments.

    Easily My Favorite Bike Pants

    I've worn these countless times for rides here in the PNW and they continue to be my absolute favorite pant! They're so, so comfy, I've crashed in them a couple of times and they have held up, no rips or tears. The snap closure on the ankle is so helpful for rides where knee pads are pretty much necessary. Endless compliments and "what pants are those?" when I'm out riding. What's not to love? For reference, I am 5'6" around 130 and I like a size 8 to be just a tiny bit baggy, but they have plenty of stretch and I can wear a size 6 too for a closer fit.

    These are so nice!

    I am so pleased! Great customer service for my somewhat complicated order and the quality is soooo good. I ended up size down to the 4 (size chart had me low end of a 6, but I wanted them tighter) and they are indeed on the tighter side, but comfortable and a great fit for biking and nordic skiing. I feel like I could have gone 6 too if I wanted them a little looser. I am 5'5" and 135 pounds.
