Seeking recommendations for absurdly high-rise hiking pants. Like higher than Mom-jeans, I want pants that go up to most people's armpits. I'm 5'7", but have an absurdly long torso, and most pants fall well below my natural waist. I have a small-ish waist, and a big-ish butt, and finding pants that actually fit my natural waist is generally a challenge. I hate hiking up my hiking pants!
Most hiking pants don't specify the rise, so I'm wondering if anyone here can recommend very high-rise hiking pants? Obviously quick-dry nylon and/or polyester, lots of pockets are ideal too.
My current favorite hiking pants are the EMS Compass 4-Points Joggers. They're super high-rise, fabric is stretchy (like OR Ferrosi, but more durable) and pockets are deep. Nylon/spandex blend, great DWR, quick-dry, love them. But, they've been discontinued, and sold out in my size! Also, the thighs are kinda baggy, I prefer a skinnier cut thru the thighs, am ambivalent about the jogger-style, but they do work well as built-in gaiters. For reference my favorite jeans are Levi's Mile High Super Skinny, they have an almost 11" front rise, and are barely high enough for me.
So, any recommendations for hiking pants that would make Laura Dern (in Jurassic Park) proud?
I just got into hiking and am now ready to invest in some proper gear. I've just been wearing leggings, but want something with more pockets.
I live in an area with lots of ticks so I prefer to wear pants even in hot humid weather. I've tried several pairs and they are either too heavy or really low waisted. I'm a curvy woman so I prefer high waisted. Any suggestions??
