Columbia Essential Hike 365 Pant

Lightweight 2-way comfort stretch fabric gives the Columbia Essential Hike 365 Pant in Black the flex needed to navigate steep ascents, uneven trails, and active outdoor pursuits. Constructed to solve the restriction and damp discomfort of traditional heavy hiking trousers, this performance garment features Omni-Shield water and stain repellency to block unexpected downpours and muddy splashes. Equipped with a comfortable elasticated waistband, integrated hand pockets, a secure zipped thigh pocket, and articulated knees, it delivers long lasting durability, rapid drying performance, and unrestricted leg mobility across all seasons.

Key Features

• Lightweight 2-way comfort stretch material enhances mobility during active hikes.
• Omni-Shield water and stain resistant treatment prevents liquid absorption and mud staining.
• Elasticated waist section provides a comfortable, secure fit during long days on the trail.
• Zipped leg security pocket keeps small trail essentials stored safely.
• Articulated knee construction allows natural bending motion without fabric pulling.
• Classic Black colourway offers a clean, versatile aesthetic for all outdoor environments.

At Urban Industry We Recommend These For

• Day hiking, hill walking, trail scrambling, camping trips, and outdoor travel.
• Wearing standalone during warm spring and summer hikes or layering over thermal baselayers in cold weather.
• Walkers seeking lightweight, water resistant technical trousers that dry rapidly after downpours.

Fit & Sizing Recommendations

• Official sizing from the brand recommends this garment for a comfortable active fit that sits naturally on the waist.
• Columbia advises opting for your standard waist size for a streamlined profile, or choosing a size up if you prefer additional room through the thighs for baselayers.
• Flexible waist construction and stretch fabric prevent pinching around the hips during steep ascents.

Washing & Care Instructions

• Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle using mild non-biological laundry detergent.
• Do not use liquid fabric softeners or bleach, as conditioners clog technical performance fibres and reduce water repellency.
• Line dry naturally away from direct heat sources or open flames.
• Do not tumble dry, iron, or dry clean technical stretch hiking trousers.
