With four-way stretch fabric for unrestricted mobility, FLASHDRY™ technology for active comfort, and a durable water-repellent finish, the Women's Aphrodite Arise Ankle Pants make it easy to do what you love both on and off the trail. The ankle-length inseam hits at the right spot for a low-profile hiking pant that pulls on easy with sneakers, boots, or sandals — and a soft, stretchy waistband that stays put through a long day of scrambling, striding, or sitting down to a trail lunch.
Regular Fit
Cut close through the hip with a slight taper at the ankle — sits easy at the waist and falls cleanly to the ankle bone for a low-profile silhouette. Moves with you whether you're scrambling, striding, or sitting down to a trail lunch.
FLASHDRY™ Moisture Management
FLASHDRY™ fabric actively pulls sweat off the skin and spreads it across the surface for fast evaporation. Keeps you dry and comfortable on a hot approach, a humid afternoon, or a long day on the move.
Non-PFC DWR Finish
A non-PFC durable water-repellent finish sheds light rain, splash, and the damp of an early-morning trail. Water beads up and rolls off the nylon face instead of saturating the fabric.
Anti-Odor Technology
Built-in anti-odor treatment keeps the fabric feeling fresh on multi-day trips, sweaty hikes, and back-to-back wears between washes.
93% Recycled Nylon Body
Body fabric is 93% recycled nylon — performance without the virgin materials, with the four-way stretch and durability of a well-loved pair of trail pants.
2x2 Rib-Knit Drawcord Waistband
Wide 2x2 rib-knit waistband sits flat against the hips with no digging, and the internal drawcord dials in the fit without a flapping external tie.
Slash Hand Pockets
Slash hand pockets at the hips — sized for a phone, a card, or a sticky snack on a hot day. Clean entry, no zippers to snag.
Concealed-Zip Right-Seam Pocket
Concealed zip pocket tucked into the right side seam — sized for a key, a card, or a folded bill. Disappears into the seam when not in use, so the silhouette stays clean.
Heat-Transfer Logo on Back-Right Yoke
Heat-transfer logo on the back-right yoke — clean, lightweight branding that won't peel, crack, or scratch against a pack-hip belt or a kayak seat.
Machine Wash Cold
Machine wash cold with like colors on a gentle cycle. Cold water keeps the elastane in the body fabric from breaking down and protects the rib-knit waistband from losing its snap.
Tumble Dry Low
Tumble dry low or hang to dry. High heat breaks down the elastane in the body and the waistband, and degrades the DWR finish over time.
Do Not Bleach or Iron
No bleach, no chlorine, no fabric softener, no iron. The DWR finish, the FLASHDRY™ face, and the heat-transfer logo all break down under harsh chemistry or direct heat.
Close Drawcord Before Washing
Tie the waistband drawcord closed and tuck it inside the waistband before tossing the pants in the wash. Loose drawcord ends can snag on the next garment in the load.
Re-Treat the DWR
When the body fabric stops beading water, refresh the non-PFC DWR finish with a spray-on treatment to bring rain-shedding performance back.
