Real customer feedback

See what real customers have to say about their Athleta purchases and experiences.

I purchased the hiking cargo pants in regular length and have worn them on countless trail excursions over the past year. The quick-dry fabric is absolutely incredible—after crossing streams or during unexpected rain, these pants dry faster than any other option I've tried. The cargo pockets are perfectly positioned for storing snacks, a map, and my phone without creating bulk or throwing off the fit. What really impressed me was how the pants maintain their shape even after frequent washing, and they're comfortable enough for all-day wear. I've recommended them to every woman in my hiking club, and several have already made purchases. The fact that they come in petite, regular, and tall sizes means my shorter and taller friends can get the perfect fit too. These are hands-down the best outdoor pants I've ever owned.

Outdoor guide

As a fitness instructor who also teaches outdoor bootcamp classes, I needed pants that could handle both gym sessions and outdoor activities. The lightweight workout joggers have been perfect for my demanding schedule and variable weather conditions. The zipper pockets are a game-changer—I can secure my keys and phone without worrying about them falling out during high-intensity exercises. The breathable fabric keeps me cool during indoor classes but provides enough coverage for chilly morning outdoor sessions. I've been using these for about six months now, and they've held up beautifully through countless washes and workouts. Compared to other brands I've tried, these joggers offer superior durability and comfort without the premium markup. I've purchased two additional pairs in different colors because I love them so much, and I consistently recommend them to my clients looking for versatile athletic wear.

Working in a professional environment while traveling constantly was challenging until I found these stretchy work pants. I travel to client meetings at least twice monthly, and these pants pack efficiently and don't wrinkle—a serious advantage when you're living out of a suitcase. The zip pockets keep my belongings secure during flights and meetings, and the stretch fabric accommodates my body throughout the day without feeling restrictive. I've owned these for eight months and wear them at least three days per week, yet they look as good as the day I purchased them. The fit is flattering and professional, which means I can go directly from the airport to important meetings without changing. Compared to traditional dress pants that require dry cleaning and constant pressing, these are revolutionary for someone in my position. I've already ordered them in another color, and my colleagues have asked where I found such comfortable yet professional-looking bottoms. They're an absolute essential in my work wardrobe.

Common questions

Find answers to the most common questions about Athleta's products, materials, and care.

Are Athleta pants machine washable?
Yes, most Athleta pants are designed for easy machine washing, which is one of their standout features for active women. The quick-dry and moisture-wicking fabrics are engineered to maintain performance through repeated washing, and they typically dry significantly faster than traditional cotton garments. For best results, wash in cold water and tumble dry on low heat, which helps preserve the fabric integrity and extends the life of your pants. Always check the specific care tag on your garment, as some specialized pieces like the fleece-lined winter pants may have slightly different requirements to maintain their insulation and waterproof properties.
What sizes does Athleta offer?
Athleta recognizes that women's bodies are diverse, which is why they offer petite, regular, and tall sizing across most of their pants collection. Each category is proportionally adjusted to ensure proper length and fit regardless of your height, so you don't have to deal with excess fabric at the ankles or hem that's too short. In addition to length variations, Athleta provides a range of width sizes to accommodate different body types. This inclusive approach means you can find pants that fit your actual body rather than having to alter or compromise on pieces that don't fit your frame properly.
Do Athleta pants have pockets?
Most Athleta pants feature functional pockets designed with your actual needs in mind, which is rare in women's clothing. Many styles include strategically placed zipper pockets that keep your phone, keys, and wallet secure during activities, while others have traditional open pockets for convenience. The placement of these pockets is intentional, ensuring they don't create bulk or uncomfortable pressure points during movement. Whether you're hiking, working, or traveling, having reliable pocket storage is a practical feature that Athleta prioritizes across their collection.
Are Athleta pants good for hiking?
Absolutely—many Athleta pants are specifically engineered for hiking and outdoor activities with features like quick-dry technology, moisture-wicking properties, and durable weather-resistant fabrics. The hiking cargo pants include gusseted construction for enhanced mobility and cargo pockets perfect for storing trail snacks, maps, or other essentials. The quick-dry capability is especially valuable when crossing water features or navigating wet terrain, and the materials are tested to perform through demanding outdoor conditions. Whether you're tackling a day hike or a multi-day backpacking trip, these pants are built to deliver comfort and functionality in variable weather.
Can I wear Athleta work pants to the office?
Yes, the travel and work pants are specifically designed to meet professional dress codes while maintaining exceptional comfort throughout your workday. These styles feature a polished appearance that works in corporate environments, yet the stretchy fabrics and thoughtful design mean they're far more comfortable than traditional dress pants. The wrinkle-resistant properties make them ideal for travel days, as they maintain a professional appearance even after being packed in a suitcase or layered in a carry-on. Many professionals choose these pants as their go-to office wear because they bridge the gap between performance fabrics and professional aesthetics, allowing you to move comfortably and confidently in any business setting.
How durable are Athleta pants?
Athleta pants are built with durability as a core priority, featuring reinforced stitching, high-quality fabric construction, and materials tested for longevity through repeated wear and washing. Many customers report wearing their Athleta pants multiple times per week for years without significant degradation, which demonstrates the quality of materials and construction. The fabrics are specifically chosen for resilience—whether it's the quick-dry hiking pants that resist pilling or the winter thermal pants that maintain insulation through extended use. When you invest in Athleta clothing, you're purchasing pieces designed to be part of your wardrobe for years, not just a season, making them an excellent value despite their initial investment.
