For many women, the outdoors is a place of peace, power, and personal growth. It’s where we breathe deeper, move freer, and feel more grounded in ourselves. But for curvy women—especially those with a smaller waist and fuller hips or thighs—there’s one issue that often interrupts that freedom: finding hiking pants that actually fit.
If that sounds like a small detail, ask any woman who’s tried to hike in pants that squeeze her thighs but gap at the waist, or who’s resorted to gym leggings that can’t withstand a muddy trail or mountain wind. That discomfort isn’t just physical—it’s emotional. It reminds women that once again, their bodies weren’t considered in the design. But at Tomahawk Outdoor Clothing, we believe it’s time for that to change.
The Fit Problem That Keeps Women Off the Trail
Let’s face it—mainstream outdoor gear has historically been designed for one kind of woman: lean, straight, and athletic in build. But in the real world, women’s bodies are beautifully diverse. Many have:
-
Smaller waists with fuller hips
-
Strong, muscular or soft thighs
-
Rounder bums that need room to move
And yet, finding pants that accommodate that shape still feels like searching for a unicorn.
Most hiking pants are built from a “standard” block that fails to consider proportion. When curvy women try them on, they often face:
-
A waistband that fits the hips but bags at the waist
-
Tightness in the thighs that restricts movement
-
Constant pulling, adjusting, or layering to make them work
These aren’t minor inconveniences—they’re design failures that exclude a huge portion of outdoor-loving women from feeling confident and capable in their gear.
What Poor Fit Really Costs Us
Ill-fitting clothing does more than cause discomfort. It sends a message—loud and clear—that our bodies are not the default. That we’re an afterthought. That to hike, climb, or explore, we first need to shrink or change.
This emotional weight can be heavy:
-
It discourages women from taking up space outdoors
-
It makes them feel like their bodies are the problem
-
It subtly enforces the idea that adventure isn’t for them
We’ve seen women brave enough to climb mountains, yet insecure about their gear not fitting right. That shouldn’t be the case. The outdoors should be a space where all women feel strong, powerful, and free to move—not distracted by whether their trousers are falling down or pinching at the knees.
Why Hiking Pants for Curvy Women Matter
At Tomahawk Outdoor Clothing, we don’t just make hiking pants. We create tools for freedom. Our pants are purposefully designed for women with curves—for the warriors with small waists, strong thighs, and unapologetic confidence.
Our fit offers:
-
A contoured waistband that hugs the waist without gaping
-
Stretch panels and thoughtful tailoring that accommodate curves
-
Reinforced seams and breathable, water-resistant fabric that performs under pressure
We test our designs on real women, not just fit models. That means actual hikers and everyday adventurers who need more than a size tag—they need pants that move with them, not against them.
It’s Not Just About Pants—It’s About Power
When women find gear that fits their bodies, it doesn’t just improve their hike. It transforms their confidence. It gives them:
-
The freedom to move without second-guessing
-
The confidence to take up space in outdoor settings
-
The message that they belong in the adventure world—just as they are
And we’ve seen it happen: the way a well-fitting pair of pants can change how a woman stands. How she walks. How she faces the next uphill climb.
A Brand Born from the Journey
Tomahawk Outdoor Clothing wasn’t born in a boardroom—it was born on the trail, from the heart of a woman who has seen resilience up close. As a former social worker, our founder spent years supporting women through some of life’s toughest terrain. That experience, combined with a deep love of the outdoors, inspired her to build a brand that does the same—supports, uplifts, and empowers.
We know first hand how powerful nature can be for mental and physical wellbeing. We also know how damaging it is to feel left out because of your size or shape. So we made it our mission to create a brand where every woman feels seen and strong—not just in spirit, but in the clothes she wears to chase her goals.
We’re Here for the Women Who...
-
Want to hike but haven’t found the right gear
-
Have been overlooked by mainstream outdoor brands
-
Need clothing that matches their strength, softness, and shape
-
Believe in rising together, not shrinking to fit
Final Thoughts: The Trail Was Always Yours
You were never the problem. Your body was never wrong. The gear just wasn’t right.
But now, there’s something different. Tomahawk hiking pants are built for you—with you in mind. They’re made to climb, stretch, breathe, and move. Just like you.
So lace up your boots. Pull on your pants. And take the trail, the summit, or the slow walk through the woods—with power, pride, and gear that fits the woman you truly are.
