To find that secret view, you'll want reliable hiking gear. The ACG High Stakes pants are designed to flex with you and adapt to Mother Nature. They're lightweight, stretchy and articulated for less restriction while you move. Rain on the horizon? No sweat, a water-repellent finish helps you stay dry, so you can keep chasing the beauty.
Smooth Woven 4-Way Stretch Fabric
"The smooth, woven 4-way stretch fabric is lightweight and easy to pack" — the 93% nylon / 7% spandex blend delivers true 4-way stretch that recovers in every direction, eliminating the binding feel of a rigid woven hiking pant. The smooth hand resists snagging on brush and abrasion from pack straps, while the lightweight construction keeps the pants easy to compress into a pack when the trail warms up.
Articulated Knees at the Inseam
"The articulated knees at the inseam let you bend and flex naturally" — the engineered knee articulation places extra fabric and shaping at the inseam, exactly where the knee needs to bend during deep steps and high-stepping climbs. "So you can charge steep climbs and negotiate descents with less restriction" — the knee articulation eliminates the fabric pull that creates a binding ridge across the kneecap in a standard straight-leg hiking pant.
Water-Repellent + UV Finish
"The water-repellent finish helps keep you dry in wet weather" — the DWR (durable water-repellent) treatment on the woven fabric sheds light rain and snow, so a passing shower won't soak through. "And when the sun returns, UV protection helps shield you from the rays" — the built-in UPF rating blocks harmful sun exposure on long trail days above treeline, with the protection woven permanently into the fabric.
Snap Ankle Adjusters
"A lightweight drawstring at the waist and snap adjusters at the ankle let you find the right fit" — the snap adjusters at each ankle let the wearer dial in a custom fit for the conditions. "Snap them tight for a closer fit around your ankle" to seal out debris and keep ticks and trail dust out on overgrown sections. "Unsnap for an open feel with more airflow up the leg" to vent heat on warm climbs.
Lightweight Drawstring Waist
"A lightweight drawstring at the waist" — the internal drawstring adjusts the waist for a custom fit that doesn't slip during the hike, while the smooth waistband doesn't dig in under a pack hip belt. The lightweight system packs flat for trail use and avoids the bulk of a belt or heavy buckle.
Zippered Back Pocket + Side Pockets + Hand Pockets
"Zippered back pocket and side pockets provide secure storage for trail essentials" — the women's version adds a zippered back pocket to the standard side pockets, giving the wearer a hidden spot for keys, a card, or a small phone. "Hand pockets" — the additional open hand pockets provide quick-access storage for warming fingers on cold trailheads. The varied pocket layout distributes weight and provides options for different trail essentials.
ACG Embroidered Logo
"ACG embroidered logo at left thigh" — the embroidered ACG logo at the left thigh adds subtle branding without visual clutter, marking the pants as part of the ACG heritage line. The understated placement keeps the focus on the technical performance of the woven stretch fabric.
Lightweight + Packable
"Lightweight and easy to pack" — the smooth woven fabric compresses small for stashing in a pack when the trail warms up, and the lightweight construction is barely noticeable on the body during long approaches. The combination of packability and weather protection makes the pants a versatile piece for multi-day backcountry trips and fast-and-light day hikes alike.

Machine Wash
Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with like colors. Turn the pants inside-out before washing to protect the DWR finish and the woven surface. Avoid bleach, fabric softeners, and harsh detergents, which can strip the water-repellent finish and break down the spandex in the 4-way stretch fabric. Close all zippers before washing to prevent the pocket zippers from snagging on the fabric.
Drying
Tumble dry on low heat or hang to air dry. The nylon-spandex blend dries quickly on its own — air drying is recommended to extend the life of the DWR finish, the 4-way stretch recovery, and the snap adjusters. Avoid high heat, which can damage the DWR treatment, weaken the snap hardware, and degrade the woven fabric structure.
DWR Refresh
The DWR finish will wear off over time and with washing. Refresh the treatment periodically with a spray-on re-proofing product designed for technical woven fabrics. A well-maintained DWR keeps light rain beading on the surface; if water stops beading and starts soaking into the fabric, the DWR needs refreshing.
UV Protection Care
The built-in UVA + UVB protection is permanent in the fabric and won't wash out, but stretched-out fabric reduces the protection level. Maintain the 4-way stretch recovery by washing on gentle cycles and air drying when possible. A stretched-out pant lets more UV through the fabric, so replace the pants if the spandex has lost its snap.
Storage
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Hang dry or fold loosely to maintain the 4-way stretch recovery and prevent creasing at the articulated knees. Avoid storing the pants in damp conditions, which can degrade the DWR finish and the snap adjuster hardware over time.
