Do y’all know about Thicket?

Thicket Adventure is a woman-owned, fat-owned small business that makes literally THE BEST PLUS SIZE HIKING PANTS EVER MADE.

y’all about to be sick of me talking about my new fav pants

If you’ve been following me for any length of time you know that I very rarely do any sort of brand sponsorships. I only recommend things that I actually use myself, and only products that I think are incredible and useful and needed.

Well, I’m happy to report that Thicket makes one of the best pieces of plus-size outdoor gear that I’ve ever tried. I am super enthusiastic about these pants because I HAVE BEEN SEARCHING FOR GOOD PLUS SIZE HIKING PANTS FOR YEARS!!!

I have tried on just about every pair of hiking pants I could find in my size, and never ever found a pair like these. And trust me, I have looked and left many fitting rooms frustrated.

Finding quality plus-size outdoor gear

The lack of plus-size gear is one of the biggest reasons that folks in larger bodies don’t participate in sports or the outdoors. It’s not because our bodies aren’t capable or because we don’t want to hike, ski, cycle, skate, zipline, rock climb, or any other number of adventures. It’s because there’s very little quality gear that fits us!

When you’re in a larger body you already have to re-learn to trust your body (since the story in dominant culture is that your body is not strong or capable) and you also have to trust your gear to not fail you!

I was so happy to find Thicket plus size hiking pants because the quality is amazing. I know I can trust these pants to hold up when I go on my adventures. They fit me well and the fabric is durable.

the waistband is stretchy like leggings, but they look and behave like real pants

How these plus size hiking pants fit me

I can’t believe how good they fit. I have a big butt and smaller waist and usually pants are too tight across the hips if they fit in the waist, or fall off my waist if they fit in the hips.

I am wearing a size 14, booty fit. They have 2 fits: the booty fit and the belly fit (because they actually design these pants for plus size bodies). I sized down from my regular size because I don’t like the legs to be loose, and I love the fit of these.

the pockets are great – hip pockets that zip closed, and 2 big cargo pockets, and they all are big enough to fit a phone

I love the fabric. It’s thick enough to not get snagged and ripped by scratchy desert plants or when I scramble up rocks. But it’s also stretchy enough I can move freely… they stretch like leggings. They definitely pass the squat test.

They’ve got some cool features like hip pockets that zip closed and a loop for rolling up and securing the cuffs if you need to cross a stream or your ankles just need to breathe.

Plus, I think they make my butt look good. 😂 I can’t wait to get these in every color. If you’ve seen these and wondered if they are worth the price, the answer is yes.
