Subo Pant – Women’s

Meet the Subo Pant – Women’s by Cotopaxi — a lightweight, movement-friendly hiking pant built to help you climb higher, travel farther, and do more with fewer pieces in your closet. From steep trail switchbacks to long-haul flights, this pant delivers stretch, durability, and easygoing style.

Key Features: Lightweight woven fabric with built-in stretch; elastic waist with interior/exterior drawcord for a dialed fit; woven patch hand pockets plus a secure zippered back pocket; bungee cord at the cuffs so you can cinch the ankles; UPF 50+ sun protection and PFC-free DWR for water resistance on many colorways.

Fabric & Feel: The Subo Pant by Cotopaxi is crafted from a recycled nylon–spandex blend (around 90–100% recycled nylon with added stretch, depending on listing) that’s smooth, breathable, and tough enough for rock scrambles. The fabric is light but not flimsy, with just enough structure to feel polished in town while remaining soft and quiet on the trail.

Why It’s Good: Recycled nylon offers durable performance while reducing reliance on virgin petrochemical-based fibers and keeping waste in circulation longer. Many Subo styles use a PFC-free DWR and UPF 50+ fabric, so you get weather and sun protection without the most persistent water-repellent chemicals. Cotopaxi’s B Corp status and Gear for Good® mission mean the Subo Pant is part of a broader push toward more responsible materials, fairer supply chains, and impact-focused giving.

Fit & Care: Designed with a relaxed, tapered fit and a 28.75" inseam that works with both boots and sneakers. Choose your usual size for all-day comfort; tighten the drawcord for technical pursuits or loosen it for travel days. Machine wash cold, avoid bleach and fabric softeners, and line dry or tumble low to protect the DWR and stretch fibers.

Style Notes: Wear the Cotopaxi Subo Pant – Women’s with a fitted tank and trail shoes for warm-weather hikes, then roll the cuffs and add a relaxed button-down and sandals when you’re heading straight into town. The clean lines also pair nicely with a simple tee and denim jacket for travel days and casual Fridays.
