You might have already made the decision to wear yoga pants to hike. We don’t blame you. They are soft, comfortable and easy to pull on. We wear yoga pants for everything, from Zoom calls to the gym, and it’s only natural to want to wear them out on the trail.
But do yoga pants make for good hiking apparel? Perhaps you’ve torn a hole in a beloved pair while picking your way through brambles or watched an expensive pair of leggings pill quickly after taking them out on a multiday backpacking trip. In this article, we'll cover what you should look for when wearing yoga pants (also called tights or leggings) on the trail.
Yes, you can absolutely wear yoga pants while hiking (though leave cotton yoga pants at home). More people than ever want a single pair of tights that can work in many situations, from running to the grocery store to hiking in the mountains. However, to avoid having to retire a beloved pair of yoga pants sooner than later, there are a few things to keep in mind when shopping for a pair of tights to work in the yoga studio and also in the woods.
The first thing to weigh is the kind of hiking you plan to do. How long will you be out on the trail? And what kind of terrain are you likely to encounter?
Here are a few additional factors to consider if you plan to wear your yoga pants hiking:
Yoga pants are often designed to be worn indoors in a studio or gym, where you're not likely to encounter rough surfaces. Those made for casual use typically aren’t built to handle the abrasion that comes with scrambling around rocks, brushing past rough tree bark or wearing a heavy pack. You may find that your favorite yoga pants pill after you wear them for several miles on the trail.
When looking for hiking-specific tights, prioritize a pair that can stand up to wear and tear.
Yoga manufacturers don’t have to consider the elements when designing tights; hikers do. Fortunately, more yoga companies are designing tights with hikers in mind, which means the fabric is weather-resistant.
When you are out hiking for hours at a stretch, you may want functional features that help you stay organized and protected from the elements. Pick a pair with pockets where you can stash sundries like a map or snacks—especially if you’re wearing a giant pack that’s a hassle to take on and off. At a minimum, look for at least one large pocket that fits your phone. Zippered pockets add extra security. Side thigh pockets don’t interfere with a climbing harness.
Comfort is likely the biggest reason you grab your favorite yoga pants when you’re headed out for a hike. But you want to consider fit and some other functional elements of a tight, especially for a longer backpacking trip.
In general, look for tights with a fit snug enough to keep the tights anchored around your waist, but not so tight that you can’t breathe. Yoga pants with compression, which hugs the body, helps keep your tights sitting on your waist on a longer backpacking trip, versus a softer waistband, which has the potential to slide down. Also consider that your body can change on a backpacking trip, with the shift in diet to dehydrated foods, creative bathroom set-ups or continuous hiking.
Look for a pair of tights with an adjustable drawcord that you can tighten or loosen when you’re out on a longer multi-day backpacking trip. You don’t have to sacrifice comfort but remember that your super comfy yoga tights with no drawcord might be the wrong fit at some point, especially on a longer trip.
Fashion-oriented hikers can have everything they want for their next backpack or day hike. Fun, fashionable hiking options that also hit the mark for practical are more prevalent than ever, and the options for fashion-forward yet functional tights are growing all the time.

The internet is chock-full of product reviews. The prominence of online shopping relies on people’s ability to thoroughly research a product prior to making a purchase. With millions upon millions of reviews on the internet, some are helpful while some are not.
Amazon user ‘Cory H’ left a 5/5 review for a set of yoga pants she bought. It turns out Cory was wearing these pants on a hike when she encountered a steep rocky section she was afraid to walk down. Instead of walking, she decided to slide/roll down the rugged pitch. Her RAYPOSE yoga pants came out unscathed. They “did not rip even a little bit and I got stuck on rocks and trees.” The review was accompanied by an image of the incident.
If this author was in the market for a pair of yoga pants, the RAYPOSE would be a no-brainer. Thousands of others found this review helpful.

Home Mom Life Humor Woman Describes Sliding Down A Mountain In Her Favorite Leggings In Funny...
Although Raypose was obviously thrilled with the overwhelming response to their leggings, they wanted to ensure that their “product spokesperson” had actually survived her mountain-side slip & slide.
They reached out to her in a public plea, hoping that “Cory’s” (Veronica’s) body had held up as well as the leggings did:
Clearly these are not your everyday leggings! According to their description, these have everything a busy person wants in a pair of yoga pants.
They are Capri style stretch pants with tummy control and a high waist. Sounds good, no??
And apparently, not even a mountain can take these leggings down (unlike Veronica, who went down, FAST.) They are listed at an affordable price of $21.99, & come in a variety of colors.
So whether you’re spending your afternoon lounging on your couch or using your ass as a luge down a steep hill, Raypose leggings are the way to go- just ask Veronica, who REALLY tested these bad boys out, and lived to tell the tale (and to share it on Amazon).

As a plus-size woman, I don’t particularly enjoy clothes shopping- especially for leggings.
My problem is that my thighs can chafe their way through just about any garment, leaving me with threadbare and hole-y leggings after an alarmingly short period of time.

In an Amazon review that has exploded on social media and garnered more than 10,000 reactions, Veronica Ramirez has captivated the world with her, well, unique experience testing out her new leggings. (Note: the review was posted by Veronica under her fiance’s name, Cory H.)
Veronica took her new leggings out for a hike, & things went downhill… literally.
She -& the leggings, of course- slid down the side of a mountain. No, seriously.
And just in case the mental image isn’t already funny enough, here’s an actual image:
“Can I just say that I will be reordering them in every color,” she wrote. Makes sense- green leggings would pair beautifully with the trees Veronica is apparently getting stuck in on her way down.
“Here is me rolling and sliding down a mountain because I was too scared to get up.
My leggings did not rip not even a little bit and I got stuck on rocks and trees,” the review reads.
She.got.stuck.on.rocks.and.trees. I already have so many questions, but one thing I’m not questioning is the outstanding quality of these durable leggings !
If a mountain can’t rip a hole in these pants, then my thighs might have a great chance of not eating through the seams. Take all my money, Raypose leggings.
In case you didn’t take Veronica at her word about her rock & rolling, she’s got photographic proof.
Granted, at first glance we’re tempted to dwell less on the leggings, and more on who is watching Veronica slide down the side of a mountain & documenting it through pics INSTEAD OF HELPING HER??
Now, I’ve never fallen down a mountain – yet, anyway- but my body is…well…very large and round, and I can totally see myself rolling down this incline.
I feel your pain, Veronica. And love your leggings.
People genuinely loved her review – more than 10K found it helpful and hysterical . Veronica’s review has become one of the best spontaneous ad campaigns that the Raypose legging company could ever have hoped for.
“ Seriously this is the best review ever! she deserves a lifetime supply of these tights and should be brand ambassador!!” and we hard agree.
“Dear Cory, Thank you for your brave and lovely review! We can’t send you a private message, could you please contact us so that we can know you are ok?–Raypose service team.”
I’m thinking Veronica should get a lifetime supply of Raypose leggings for all the free advertising her free-falling brought in!)
“I was kind of having a bad day and then I read your review. This is the best review ever. SO relatable. Thank you for your honesty and the pictures.
And I am glad to hear you are safe and sound down from the mountain (at least safe enough to post a review!)”
Is it really necessary to use the F word in this article???
It has become so everyday but it shows no class…
Hello I am the woman in the purple leggings. My name is Veronica but my partner Cory has the Amazon account so my review is under his name. Thank you for the love
