These $35 Amazon Pants Are Perfect for Travel

I don’t know about you, but travel plans always give me a good excuse to go shopping. This time of year, I often find myself flying or road-tripping somewhere much warmer than home. A beach vacation in Mexico, golf outing to Hilton Head, or a family camping trip to a national park all warrant an outfit upgrade. 

On long travel days, I want something lightweight and breathable (but not too summery), so I can comfortably segue from one climate to the next. I found the ultimate pants to complete my plan. G Gradual’s stretchy, lightweight joggers are a casual twist on spring’s classic floral dresses, and are far more comfortable—especially on travel days. While they look more elevated than sweatpants or other more baggy jogger styles, they’re a fraction of the price of Lululemon’s, even though reviewers say they look just the same. 

G Gradual Athletic Ankle Pants 

G Gradual’s ankle pants are made of a buttery soft, four-way stretch fabric that actively moves with you. They feature two deep side pockets that are big enough to hold a phone with room to spare. An elastic waistband with a drawstring adds comfort with the adjustability. The 7/8 cut hits just above the ankle, the ideal length for spring. They are breathable to wear to the gym, on a hike, or even for just a long day of sightseeing, too.

Even though they prioritize comfort, they have a sleek and structured enough look to be stylishly paired with a polo shirt for a country club look, or with a fitted tee, wedges, and fun jewelry for a night out. Available in twenty colors and prints, the dusty purple and green camo colorways are fun picks for the season.

One five-star reviewer called these pants a “lululemon leisure pant dupe,” because of how comfortable, lightweight, and breathable. They added that the wrinkle-resistant fabric makes them great for travel. Another Amazon shopper said they bought these in every color. “I needed an in-between for slacks and leggings that didn’t carry the lulu price tag. Enter these pants. I now live in them.”

With over 8,000 stellar reviews, no wonder they are one of Amazon’s best sellers. I’m placing them in my cart right now to see what all the hype is about, and then I’ll browse some more of the site’s top-rated lightweight pants for spring.
