Customer Reviews Arc'teryx Palisade Pants

Great lightweight stretchy travel pants. Love all the zippers. Passports and other travel documents along with many items can be scurely stored when traveling on a plane or out walking around a town or working in the jungle. I wish they had more colors available in size 32x30. I would definately buy more if there were more colors.

I wear these for surveying, where I often have to go through quite dense vegetation (including bramble) - the material is insanely tough, over the last month I haven't managed to get a single snag in them.

An Awesome product by Arc'teryx. After using a pair, bought 2 more. I hiked, drove, climbed, bungee'd, swam, kayak'd and pretty much lived in these trousers. Love the way pockets are designed: perfect for travel too. These trousers are a must if you are in warm weather- any condition. Thanks Arc'teryx- you now have a fan boy.

Took these pants on safari and then they have become my favourite travel pants. Passport sized side pockets. Super comfortable. Easy to clean and dry overnight.

These are the best hiking pants. I've tried several other brands and either they are overly baggy or they don't stay up. These are perfect because of the adjustable belt. I had to have them hemmed. I would love to get another pair in my size, but not available right now. These pants have held up in torrential rain and heat. Plus, they're extremely comfortable.

These pants are amazing. they look great on. I have gained a bit of weight in the stomach area so am trying to lose this excess weight. Once I lose 5 lbs or so they should fit awesome. Was looking for durable but lightweight hiking pants and these fit the bill plus they dry fast. I hope to get more pairs in the future. The color I received is more of a greenish/blue mossy color. Hard to explain but def not on the grey scale at all, which I thought they were from the picture. I do like the color though.

I have worn two pair of these pants for a nearly a year now. I love the softness of the waistband due to the brushed fabric on the inside and the interior belt. I have found the waistband to easily accommodate my fluctuating waist size. There is plenty of room in the butt and thighs for me without being baggy. The thigh pockets are large enough to fully contain my iPhone 8 Plus. These are the only hiking pants that come short enough, 29" inseam, for me. I tried many brands and models with the requirements that they work well in HOT weather, dry quickly, not drag on the ground, and fit my phone. I have found that these pants work for me in a temperature range from the 50's (have to keep moving here) to the 90's F.

This is a great all-around pant. I use them for hiking in hot weather. So far, they have been very durable and have not sustained damage when hiking through brush. They are light weight and fast drying. Also great for just a daily use pant since they are very comfortable. Enjoyed them enough that I own 3 pairs in different colors. My only complaint is I wish they came in a size 33 waist.

This technical pants is my first pants from Arc'teryx. Nicely constructed with lightweight, wind resistant, breathable stretch nylon fabric. I used it in three separate occasions so far and I am very satisfied.

Bought these pants for backpacking during heavy bug season and they quickly became my daily wear pants. Light enough that they are not too much of a burden if carrying in a backpack but useful for protection from light precipitation, wind, sun, bush whacking, and bugs. Although these are made for warmer seasons, I use them with a base layer for most winter activities as well. Superb product!

Bought this for hiking Japan in the fall. It served well. Breathable but kept wind off. Sheds light drizzle and abrasion resistant.

Da ich regelmig zum mehrtgigen Trekking nach Skandinavien gehe, habe ich nach einer leichten Trekkinghose gesucht, die auch einiges aushlt. Wer Skandinavien kennt, wei dass es dort eher etwas rauer zu geht, sei es nun der Wind oder auch die Regenschauer. Die Vorteile dieser Hose sind ganz klar die Leichtigkeit, aber auch die Funktionalitt. Sie ist atmungsaktiv und trocknet nach kurzen Schauern sehr schnell wieder, auch wenn es nicht so warm ist. Dies hilft vor allem dabei, dass man nicht bei jedem kleinen Regenschauer die Regenhose (die selten wirklich atmungsaktiv ist) rausholen muss. Obwohl die Hose auf den ersten Blick, aufgrund des verwendeten Materials und der Dicke dessen eher fragil wirkt, ist sie sehr strapazierfhig und hlt auch einen Sturz auf steinigem Untergrund aus ohne davon merkliche Spuren zu behalten. Ich habe die schwarze Variante gewhlt, da man diese aufgrund der Eleganz auch im Alltag durchaus mal tragen kann. Alles in allem kann ich den Kauf trotz des relativ hohen Preises nur empfehlen. Ich habe es noch keinen Tag und Kilometer bereut und wrde den Kauf immer wieder ttigen.

This was exactly what I've been looking for. As a tall guy (6'3, 190lbs) I've struggled to find hiking pants that fit properly - especially after they've been through the wash. The 34/35 fit me perfectly. Extremely comfortable and they seem to get better with each wash/dryer cycle. The pockets are great and well constructed. The stitching and material throughout looks and feels premium--what you would expect at this price point. If there were other colour options I'd definitely consider buying more pairs.

Bought these pants for hiking and was looking for a trimmer fitting pant. Great fit and really comfortable waist line with the brushed fabric inside waist. I am 5'2" and 115lbs - nice to be able to find a technical pant with a shorter inseam and adjustable waist. No need to get it tailored!

How tough are they? A 6-pound kitten with razor-sharp claws jumped on my leg, dug all 18 of its talons into the fabric, and clung to me for a second before dropping down; no holes, no rips, no pulls, nothing. How about movement flexibility? You can drop from soldier's attention into an Asian squat without any part of the garment tightening up or any loss of garment coverage. They can account for a full sprint or a big reach on a rock face. Zippered pockets all over secure possessions and I'm glad Arcteryx returned the back-side pocket to production. Side pockets enjoy a clever update introduced last season- built in folds keep them close to the leg, so they're useful and don't look like hideous cargo attachments. TerraTex material permits airflow, yet the trim cut causes an initial buildup of heat. They're also slightly wind resistant. I wear them to bike or run around during spring and summer when I don't want to feel direct wind blasts but it's cool enough that shorts might be uncomfortable. I wouldn't recommend them for strenuous activity during the summer because sweat can build up under the trim fit and then feel a bit clammy. Ultimately, I treat them as the active counterpart to the Bastion pant.

I struggle to find trousers to fit being tall/slim. These felt a smidge tight when I first put them on but actually fit like a glove. Very comfortable. Fast becoming my "go to" pants. Only used casual so far but looking forward to trying them out as a casual/mountaineering crossover

Nachdem ich lange Jahre eine ganz bestimmte Treckinghose von Fjell Rven getragen habe, wurde diese aus dem Sortiment genommen - ich entschied ich fr die Palisade Pant und besitze inzwischen vier dieser Hosen. Sie sind unglaublich praktisch, sitzen sehr gut und die neuen Damenmodelle haben noch mehr Reiverschlusstaschen als vorher. Die Hose ist extrem leicht, trocket sehr schnell und sieht dazu auch noch sehr gut aus. Und sie darf nach dem Waschen sogar in den Trockner. Ich bin begeistert! Fr mich kommt keine andere Hose mehr in Frage.

The pants fit well off the rack. That will vary from person to person of course - I am 1.8m and about 90K. They are comfortable in hot weather, light weight and look good. I like the zip pockets - means nothing comes out on planes and is very hard for pick pockets (I have been a victim). Also, the pants pack small and light. The non-removable belt means that the hassle of having to remove and re-thread a belt at security is now a thing of the past. They appear to be hard wearing, but time will tell.

Scheduled trip to Machu Pichu and Marrakech. I believe I will be able to use these for city and trail hiking. I searched for a pant with this convenient leg pocket for my cell phone photography. I am 5'8" and 138 #s and wear a size 6 or 8. I got size 6 and 32" long which is at ankle w/ city shoes and longer than necessary for trail running shoes.

Took this out on a very hot July weekend for hiking in Algonquin park. I wouldn't expect any pants to stay dry given how intense the heat and trail were, and these did collect sweat, but only in the seat and waist, which was surprising. They dried very quickly afterwards and were a joy to wear around the fire, fending off mosquitos. Even with the super good pockets, I missed belt loops for hanging carabiners off of. I got the light gray ones to reflect maximum sunlight, and show maximum dirt. Priorities, amirite?

I bought a pair of the Palisade shorts and loved the fit, and ditched the extra bulky belt belt and picked up a pair of the Palisade pants. I don't think about what to wear now, and grab them when headed out in the city or for a multi day adventure. It's true what another poster said - they fit 'almost' too good. And it's true. The built in belt means it's as tight as you want it, so if in doubt order a size up and see if that will work for you. If you are putting on muscle like myself, you will appreciate the extra space around the hips that vanishes under the built in and unnoticeable belt. My only complaint is the cargo pockets are different and larger than on the shorts and hold things slightly looser. My preference and expectation was to have the same styling as the shorts, but longer, pant style. So things tend to jiggle around more in the pants than in the shorts due to these larger and looser pockets, especially while running. My second question rather is around the durability, but I suppose I will see as the years pass how well they hold up. So comfortable, so if anything happens, I'll be ironing on a patch to keep them in rotation! Very happy with the fit, comfortability and how easily they go over a pair of Palisade shorts when the weather gets cooler.
