Monument Pants Women's (2025)

Wore these on a rocky ascent last weekend and the articulated knees made scrambling feel completely unrestricted. The fabric blocked wind without getting clammy on the climb up.

The seam placement along the hips is spot-on—no digging in even after a full day of switchbacks with a loaded pack. Fabric feels tough against scrub but breathes well when the pace picks up, which is exactly what I need on exposed ridges.

These have become my go-to for any serious day hike. The tailoring is spot on, and I never once felt restricted during the steepest parts of the climb. Honestly, the protection they offer on the trail makes them worth every penny.
