Customer Reviews Mountain Hardwear Dynama™ Ankle Pants

New favorite pants!

Length works well (5'-1" hits me a hair above the ankle bone), good fit overall. A little tight around the calves for athletic wear, but the fabric moves well with you, very comfortable overall. Zippered pocket is a plus. Crotch looks a little weird (not so noticeable in black, but lighter colors definitely a stylistic choice) - was actually interested in the potential use of what appeared to be an open fly when "nature calls" when out in nature (especially if in a harness climbing), but seems totally sewn shut so crotch is not actually a crotch... bummer. Still well-cut pants comfortable and move with you. Time will tell if waterresistant and durable, but keepers for me!

These Mountain Hardwear pants are fabulous. I took them on a cruise & they dry super fast so great for traveling. I'm 5'4" and they fit just right in the length for me. Great pants, highly recommend!!

Great pants. Sizing is off. I ordered a black and a gray, both size medium. The gray fit but the black was too large in the waist and seat. Great pants though. Super comfy. You may just want to order multiple sizes to find correct fit.

These pants are bomb. Can't live without them for travel and hikes. I wish there were more colors like there are for the capris (which I also have 3 pairs of). The fabric is soft, stretchy and holds its shape. You could wear these at work or on the trail!

I have an older pair that I wear all the time and they are the perfect pant for traveling. They really have been the best pant! However, I am so disappointed that this new pair has SMALLER POCKETS that are sewn in differently. Do real women who carry things in their pockets test this for you? I hope you continue to make this pant, but improve the pockets for the next version.

I've loved and worn this pant for years and I still like them but the fit has definitely changed since I last purchased them. The quality of the material has also dropped but the price hasn't.

I now own 4 pairs of these pants. Like them very much. But I did like the original material a bit more. And I liked the slimmer more fitted look which tapered at ankle. Overall, I am happy with these pants.

Bought these pants a month ago and love them. The ankle length is the perfect full length for me as I'm short and I wear them above my hips as I prefer higher waisted pants. I'm 125lbs, curvy, 5'0 and the small fits perfectly. light material, stretchy and I have enough room in all the right places. Super flattering fit. I took them on a multi-day hike and loved them, when it got cold I just threw on a base layer underneath them and was perfectly warm. I bought another pair. The only downside I found was the pockets are small. I have a stupidly large phone as most people do nowadays and my phone doesn't fit in the side pockets and just barely in the zip thigh pocket. But oh well, the pants are so comfy. I can't really review the durability of the pants as I've only taken them on one multi-day trip but they seem fairly durable for such a lightweight material.

I love these pants. The only reason I'm giving 4 instead of 5 starts is that they fit pretty big so I've had to go down a size. I'm normally a medium or small, depending on brand. I needed an extra small in these.

Love these pants when I need a pair of light weight long pants. I wish you'd carry petite sizes or at least have a "short" inseam. These are supposed to be ankle pants but fit me like long pants.

Overall, I love the pants and I now own 3 pair. My only challenge is the fit inconsistency across the three colors....one is on the big side, one is just right, and one is on the tighter side

Still love the dynama line and these ankle pants in particular, but note that the fabric does seem thinner now (which is why I gave 4, not 5 stars). I wear these pants like a tight, rather than a regular hiking pant. The thin fabric is nice for warm weather and overall still a great option. Really loving the unique grey camo color too!

These pants are very comfortable, but I found that different pairs fit differently. The ones I ended up keeping fit the best especially after I put them in the dryer.

I love the MT Hardwear Dynama Ankle Pants! Great for travel, for the office, for lounging. The go any where pant. Light weight and breathable. I bought this pant in grey, black and green. The only reason I gave an overall less than five star is because of a manufacturing flaw in the green pant. The green pant had a seam flaw and the left leg was twisted and awkward in the seat. I returned it and tried another. Same issue. I returned that and now there are none left in my size! So disappointing as I really love the sage green color and I love the pant. I am hoping that MT Hardware will offer these again and that they will correct factory pattern issue where the green pants are made.

These are nicely designed pants, but I prefer the Dynama II capris. I didn't like the long version bc the synthetic material felt too thin on my legs, whereas the capris don't cover my lower legs. I also don't like that the color changed from a charcoal-blue to a dark navy, both called dark zinc.

I was given a pair of the original Dynama pants from a friend that I absolutely love. They had a tight, legging like ankle/calf area (with the same stretchy, wicking material). I decided to order two pairs of the Dynama 2. For the most part the pants are very similar. Very comfortable and cooling for the summer and I really like the elastic waist and that it is true mid rise for my short waist. I am 5'6 and the length is ok (slightly above the ankle) but they widened the ankle so much that it just ends up looking like a frumpy, dumpy pair of pants (very aging!). I have worn the Dynama 1 to a dance party, out to dinner, and hiking and it looks cute. Too bad they no longer sell that version and completely changed the design to accommodate a geriatric customer. I will keep but will only wear to go hiking/birding when I don't care about looking 20 years older than my age. I weigh 145 with straight hips/waist and the M fit perfectly.

the belt is uncomfortable ( the elastic is thinner than the pair I already have and I love).

These pants are so amazing. I love wearing them and they don't tear, so breathable and cute. Flattering fit. BUT I had to CUT in my own drawstring. The waistband stretches too much during activities and if you put anything in your pocket(even just your phone, around town) they fall down. They would fall down constantly while r mtn biking even if I tucked my shirt in. I had to make a drawstring. Why doesn't MH put more drawstring in their "athletic" "outdoorsy" pants..???

It is so hard to find an outdoor pant that doesn't have a baggy flare bottom so I was excited to see these! The sizing for me is a bit off though. The Extra-Small's waist was so tiny the elastic band wouldn't go over my hips. But the size Small was roomy in the waist and has SO much extra fabric in the hip area it looked like I had on jodphurs. The waist on the XS seemed almost like a defect since it was so drastic from the Small. That said, this will be an awesome pant if you find a size that fits you.

Love several things about these pants. Great color, easy to pull on, love the zipped pocket that is big enough for my iPhone. Major drawback, however, is that the ankle length rides up practically to my knee after the slightest movement. So, OK for beach walks!

I bough three pairs of these pants, I wore them not even on a real hike but just to walk from my car to a river bed and sat in the gravel at a fire. By the time I got back to my car just passing bushes had caused all kinds of snags all over the legs and the butt had little snags and was all fuzzy from sitting on river rocks. First wash the logo peeled off and now there are sticky letters smeared all over the waist band. These are great if you have an office job or non physical job and want to be comfortable. Only useful application

I bought these pants in black and I love the fit for my body type. I'm 5"2 and 123 pounds but I do have bigger thighs and they're perfect in that respect. I do climb and to be honest the material started fraying and pulling after the first use. I wish they made the same pant in a cotton weave to avoid such quick wear.

These pants are ridiculously comfortable, and would 100% be a keeper IF they didn’t give you an instant camel toe where there wasn’t one before. The way the crotch is constructed gives you some extra features, no matter what you do. Too bad, because otherwise, the fit and fabric are awesome.

Really disappointed in the new design of Women's Dynama/2 ankle pant, capris and shorts that has less elastic in the waist. I loved previous versions and easily wore size medium. New design is too big in large and too small in medium. Dynama were my go-to pants, and now I cannot wear them. Please go back to the old design.
