Gear Review: Title Nine Recycled Clamber 2.0 Pants
Review by: Kristina Goldhorn
When looking for a go-to pair of hiking pants, I always like to find pants that make me feel unstoppable. I want to feel confident both on local trails, and while hiking through any terrain or climate.
I spent the last few weeks testing Title Nine’s Recycled Clamber 2.0 pants, and am pleased to report that they cover all these bases and more! This updated style is a more eco-friendly take on their signature Clamber hiking pants, and six pockets and an adjustable leg length are just the right ingredients to make a practical piece of gear on the trail. Designed with a fit that’s flattering on a multitude of body types, these pants will have you feeling confident and ready to hit the trail wherever your next adventure leads you.
Circumstances of Review: These pants were tested on hikes and in daily outdoor adventures in both the bitter cold of Utah’s deserts during winter and the gusting winds of the mountains of Pennsylvania. Our testers wore them in snow, rain, and even some warmer 50 degree days!
We pride ourselves in testing all gear on multiple outings, and putting durability to the test in a multitude of weather, climate, and usability situations.

About The Brand: In 1972, the Title IX act made it illegal for any public institution to limit participation in sports based on a person’s gender. Named after the act, Title Nine is a brand of women’s clothing that is changing the game of athletic apparel. While most athletic gear seems to be designed with men in mind, Title Nine changes the narrative for women, giving extensive options of athletic clothing to suit every body.
What We Love About These Pants:
Need a pair of hiking pants that can get you through both the chill of winter and heat of summer? Title Nine’s Recycled Clamber 2.0 pants have your back! Worn as an outer layer on top of a pair of leggings, these Clamber 2.0 pants were the perfect protection from wind, precipitation, and rough surfaces. I was impressed with the fact that the pant legs are large enough to fit a base layer underneath, but never feel too baggy when just wearing the Clamber 2.0 pants alone.
When it comes to warmer days, feel free to cool off a little bit with the adjustable leg length clinch system. The system is very well hidden when not being used, giving a traditional straight leg look. The clinch system casually brings the pants to a capri length, giving our testers a great way to keep cool. Every way I’ve worn these pants have been the perfect mix of practical (and stylish) with the recycled fabric being super light weight and flattering.
I also loved the functionality of the pockets on the pants – which gave me an advantage over traditional hiking leggings with places to store my phone, snacks, and a trail map!
What We Think Could Be Better:
While sliding down rough rocks in the Utah desert, our Recycled Clamber 2.0 pants definitely took a beating. While remaining strong for the most part, there are a few small tears in the back pocket area. After discovering this, it made me a bit more apprehensive when climbing up or sliding down rocky terrain. No damage was found anywhere else on the pants.
Also, it is important to note that the Recycled Clamber 2.0 pants run smaller than the original version, so I recommend sizing up when ordering a pair of your own!
