Currently, Im traveling aroundGraubunden, Switzerlands breathtaking canton boasting more than 900 mountain summits.

Instead, Ive been sporting head-to-toe gear from Lululemon specifically from the brand’s lesser-knownLululemon Hike collection.

In addition to durability, these drawstring pants get points for their packability, too.

When youre not wearing them, simply stuff them in the hidden zipper pocket.

They even wore them bouldering and found they held up well.

But wait: it gets better.

lululemon Lightweight Cargo Mid-Rise Hiking Pant

it’s possible for you to then wear it as a pouch around your arm for hands-free hiking.

Features-wise, it has zippered hand pockets and strategically placed perforations for maximum ventilation in high-sweat areas.

It’s flattering and comfortable.

The last thing I want to be known for on my local trails is accidentally flashing someone.

Like my favoriteLululemon Speed Up Shorts, these have a zippered back pocket where I can keep my keys.

But unlike my Speed Ups, they also come with front pockets.

For hikes under 3 miles I dont often bring a backpack, so I appreciate the extra storage.

Theyre also abrasion-resistant and dont skimp on storage.

In addition to the zippered pocket, its two side pockets are extra deep.

Another shopper deemed them Lululemons best-kept secret.

Thats why I cant recommend these convertible hiking pants enough.

Because the strap rests between the shoulder blades, racerback tops provide a maximum range of motion.

Ive owned this tank in several colors over the years.

I also love the lightweight mesh that doesnt stick to me even when I sweat.

I also love that its water-repellent.

I recently hiked to some ice caves.

Despite getting dripped on by dozens of stalactites, all my precious cargo stayed bone dry.

Unlike the regular athletic shorts he used to hike in, these are made for the elements.

The fabric is water-resistant, abrasion-resistant, and windproof.

The difference is in the details.

The mesh chest pocket is a nice touch, too.
