Experience the soft-hug comfort of high-pile velour bonded lining, paired with a durable 95% nylon and 5% spandex fabric that keeps its shape no matter where your day takes you.
The secret to staying warm and cozy is our FlexDenali™ fabric — a super soft velour fleece lining bonded to a flexible outer layer for the perfect balance of warm insulation without giving up on your mobility.
These pants are designed to fit and flatter without the bulk. The mid-to-high rise and straight-leg cut create a clean, streamlined look that complements your natural shape. What’s surprising is how freely they move — the slimming silhouette hides just how comfortable and flexible they really are.
The Sitka Pant is designed with five large pockets for easy access to your essentials. The front pockets are deep, while the back pockets include secure snaps so nothing slips out. There’s also a large thigh pocket over the left leg, perfectly placed to hold any size phone or other items without getting in the way. Functional, accessible, and built for adventure.
The Sitka Pant is built to last with high-quality materials and expert craftsmanship. From durable YKK zippers to the stretchy, resilient FlexDenali™ fabric, every detail is designed for performance. Reinforced stitching and thick, strong thread ensure the pants can handle mountain adventures without tearing, giving you confidence that they’ll hold up wherever you go.
The Sitka Pant is designed to keep you comfortable when the weather turns wet or snowy. Its FlexDenali™ fabric features a durable water-repellent (DWR) finish that sheds moisture while still retaining warmth and allowing the pant to stretch and move with you. You’ll stay cozy and dry enough to keep going on trails, climbs, or any outdoor adventure without feeling weighed down or restricted.
There’s nothing better than being out in windy cold conditions without feeling the chill on your legs. The Sitka Pant’s FlexDenali™ fabric uses a special bonding process designed to keep gusts out, so your legs stay cozy and warm on windy days.
The Sitka Pant fits right over any boots, so you don’t have to worry about snow or debris sneaking in. 8-inch YKK zippers on the outside of each leg give you plenty of room for hiking or snow boots, making snowshoeing, trekking, or any winter adventure easier and more comfortable.
The Sitka Pant moves with you through every part of your day. From hiking, snowshoeing, and trekking to running errands, cheering at a ball game, or heading into the office, its flattering fit and functional design keep you comfortable, warm, and stylish wherever you go.

Hello!
These Sitka Ketchi pants are amazing! While having a nice clean look, they fit great, and are tough! I wore them on our recent trip to France when we lived on a boat, hiked in the Pyrenees, and shopped in the towns. They are so versatile and warm. I was very concerned about being cold and these pants were a lifesaver. One of the best purchases I've ever made. I love the drawstring at the waist. I ordered size 2 petite and they were the perfect length. Customer service is top notch! Very highly recommended!!

This is my 2nd pair of Ketchi pants. These are the new higher rise. I don’t normally like a high rise pant- but these are not a typical high rise. They have more butt and leg room than the lower rise I have from 5 years ago. Very warm and completely comfortable to move in.
Just got my 1st pair and wore them today --so comfortable and warm and without the bulk you can look great and wear to work outside and be stylish and comfortable all day. this won't be my last pair for sure!! I ordered my normal size 6.
I love these pants!!! Will definitely order another pair! As you can see from my photos, I have been enjoying riding in them! Perfect for cold and windy weather! I ordered a little bit larger size and am enjoying the extra room. I don’t think the inner waist ribbon is necessary-will probably remove it. Other than that, these are my new favorite winter pants! For riding and doing errands around town-they are perfect!
I LOVE these pants. Just the right amount of insulation and no bulky feeling. Plenty of stretch. No Frankenstein walking. No overheating. I can shovel snow then go out to lunch. Seat was warm at child’s basketball game. Pockets are warm! I need another color as I am wearing these everyday.
Don’t walk. Run and get a pair.
So Impressed with these Pants. I am outside all day with dogs.
I live in Northern VA where it can get very cold and windy. I am an avid Skier and I would ski in these Pants.
I love so many things about these pants! They have buttons and a zipper ( instead of elastic), they are true to size, and, most of all, I love the soft velour like lining!! They are so very soft and cozy! I’m even did a TikTok on how much I love these pants!
My order arrived 2 days before the Cyclone Bomb hit the Chicago area so I put them right on out of the package. They were warm, blocked the wind and looked awesome from the start. I then wore them on my annual New Year's morning hike at 10 degrees with some wind and never felt a chill.
I train working dogs, which means I have to work outside regardless of the weather. I LOVE these pants. I purchased a pair last year and like them so much I ordered another color this year. They are well made, very comfortable and keep me warm. I highly recommend them!
I hike, camp, beach camping a lot! I used these pants on 2 camping trips in one month. They are just what I was looking for. I am a photographer and stand/sit however I need to to get the shot I need. I’ve put my leg in the very wet sand on the beach to sit on my leg to hold my camera better. My leg was dry and didn’t get cold. My big thing I HATE is high rise pants, so I’m sooo happy these are not. The pockets are good and big. The only thing I would change is putting it on the left side because Im left handed.
The only big issue I have with these pants is the legs twist, no matter what boots (tall or booties) I have on they twist. It doesn’t really bother me but you can see (look at photo)
I feel the are true to size, I got my normal size. They don’t fall down at all, even when I have my keys and phone and that’s awesome
Used them this week in NC. Hike started at 29 degrees. hiked 12 miles. They are warm and comfortable. I thought they would be too heavy but they feel great.
Love them but they do run big!!!! I bought these for winter hiking in the backcountry and absolutely love them. My first trip was out on a blustery 20 degree hike in the snow with mixed terrain. The lining was so warm and cozy and the outer shell did great against the wind and snow. The stretch was perfect for wide steps. They do run big. I’m a solid size 8 and their 8 are pretty loose I’m the waist. Perfect if you are going to add another layer, but several hours in 20 degrees did not need another layer. I plan to get a smaller size as well.
Ok I LOVE these pants! I got them for winter Colorado hiking and took them out on a snow 20 degree hike. They were perfectly warm and waterproof! I love the deep pockets and the thigh vents! Only thing is they run a little big. I’m a solid size 8 and my size 8 pants are loose in the waist.
Hiking around the headwaters of the North Branch of the Potomac. Pants fit extremely well. Wind and waterproof is amazing. I’m 62.5” tall and 98 lbs. I’m wearing a size 0 short. I have referred this company to my friends who have made purchases.
Bought these for an upcoming hiking trip (W Circuit Trek) in Patagonia. These fit perfectly and love the fleece lining! Great quality! Plan to buy another pair!
These pants are lightly lined and very comfortable and keep me warm on breezy days. I don't normally wear a size 6, but I went by the measurements listed and they fit fine.They are even a bit loose in the waist, but a belt takes care of that. Even though I'm only 5'2" I usually order regular length since I don't like pants that are too short. These are a bit long so could have gone with the "short". My only (very minor) issue is that the zip pocket on the thigh could be a tad bigger - I would like to use it for my phone (Pixel 3a with a thin case), but it doesn't quite fit. Other than that, I am very happy with my purchase.
"These pants kept me warm and day in 10 degree weather during a three hour shoot. Flexible and comfortable and waterproof and great zip pockets! Pants have me peace of mind so I could concentrate on my task at hand. I normally wear size 4,..." - Cari M.
Pull ‘em on and concentrate on tasks at hand. Warm against freezing temp, blocks wind chill, water beads up and slides right off, secure and comfortable, flexible material moves with your body. I’m a photog and needed no-nonsense pants...these are all that and look slimming and flattering. I’m 5’1”, 110 lbs, usually wear size 2 but size 4 gave a bit more room and I can still layer silk undergarments if it’s really cold... I was out on 25 degrees with high winds and was completely comfortable!
My friends and I couldn't resist playing on this snow day. I bought another pair of Sitka pants after realizing my legs are never cold or wet when wearing them.
The quality is topnotch. More than half of my league wear them now.
Thank you.
These pants kept me warm and day in 10 degree weather during a three hour shoot. Flexible and comfortable and waterproof and great zip pockets! Pants have me peace of mind so I could concentrate on my task at hand. I normally wear size 4, I’m 110 lbs, 26” waist, 36”hips and size 4 fit me great!
Being tall and curvy it is always hard to find good fitting pants. These pants fit great. I ordered off of the sizing guide as I usually wear a 14 in retail stores but ordered an 18. The waist is a little big but that allows me to add a layer underneath if I’d like. The length is perfect. They are warm and comfortable. I am very happy with them! The cell phone pocket was enticing but it only fits the cell phone without a case. I would not want to have my cellphone out of the case in places I’d wear these pants. Overall I love these pants!
I purchased the Sitka Pant with snowshoeing and winter hiking in mind. I had the opportunity to try them out snowshoeing in Grand Teton on a cold snowy day. I love the function of the pants and they kept me plenty warm in the snow and 20 degrees. The style is flattering and the inside fleece is soft against my skin while the outside is durable. I love the placements of the pockets and vents. I typically wear a size 4 and found the fit true but they do run long. The only feature I do not love is the low waist. Even with the inside waist string tied, the pants tend to slide down on my hips. leaving my low back exposed unless I tuck in my shirt. Other than that- I highly recommend these for winter activities.
I needed some fleece lined pants to walk our dog. I saw these and the reviews were very positive. I normally wear size 6,but after reading what others recommended I ordered a size 8 and they fit great. They are so comfortable and very well made. They wash up.really nice.
I am so in love with my Sitka pants! I wear them for hiking, snow shoveling, and snowshoeing! They are so comfortable and very warm. I can also wear these to work because they look so nice!
I’ve have worn these on a few colder days. Around 20-30 degrees F, with a thin layer underneath and they were very comfortable and I was warm. I love the inner thigh zippers as they are awesome when you get a bit warmer on a hike. I forgot I got the short, but I am glad I did as they are long enough for me. I am 5’4” and 125lbs and the 4 short fit me fine. It’s a little snug at first but once pulled up it was comfortable and the waist is a little loose but there is a way to tie it in the inside as part of the pants. Good for cooler temps and excited to keep wearing these this winter.
Very happy with the purchase. I wanted a pant that looked nice, felt comfortable indoors and well as keeping me warm outside. These fit the bill perfectly. I'm 136 lbs. and 5ft.6in. The 8 fit just right.
