Helixir Pants Women's (2025)

The fabric feels noticeably cooler than any hiking pant I’ve owned, even after a few hours in the sun. I also like how lightweight they are—you almost forget you’re wearing them, but they still held up fine against brush.

Did a full day of trail work in these and the fabric never felt clammy or heavy against my skin. The Spectra fibers held up against some serious brush without a single snag, which honestly surprised me.

The cooling fabric actually works—wore these on a long hike in 80-degree sun and didn’t feel sticky at all. The Spectra® fibers make them surprisingly tough for how light they are, and they held up against some rough brush without a tear.
