A while back, we struck gold when we found Baleaf’s quick-dry hiking pants on Amazon, which have thousands of rave reviews and went on to become a HuffPost reader favorite.

Promising review: "Can't say enough good things about these! I'm 160 lb 5'2 and I ordered the petite small, even though I usually order medium. It would have been too baggy in the crotch with a bigger size, and I'm glad they have an option for shorter people so they don't drag on the ground. These are comfy and cute! I tested these in warm and cooler climates, 50°-85°. Doesn't trap in heat to make you sweltering, but also did keep me warmer when it was a bit chilly. I just bought another pair in gray to switch between when I go to Costa Rica where it will be rainy and hot. These will be a great addition to make sure the weather doesn't stop me from hikes or any other outdoor activities!" — Alexandrea Jones
Promising review: "Obviously, there are a number of similar products out there that cost three and four times as much as this rainproof windbreaker, but I couldn’t be happier with this one. I travel to Ireland and Scotland, where it frequently rains and can be quite chilly & windy. This is the perfect outer layer. Super lightweight and packable, yet keeps me completely dry—and it cuts the wind really well." — T. Kimmel
Promising review: "Let me first say I am SUPER picky about my leggings. I typically pay over $100 for Athleta or Lululemon. Material that hides my bumps is a MUST. I planned on not liking these but surprise surprise, they are very nice. Smooth material, soft material, juicy material for lack of a better way to put it. A nice amount of give, not too much so that they stretch out, but enough to hold everything in where it needs to be held in. Perfect cut, comes up over my waist to the sweet comfortable spot. Love the side pockets. I'm 5'6" and the length is perfect. I got black and they are not shiny at all, more matte like my expensive leggings. Fleece lined for the winter but not too warm or bulky looking. I do think I will be back for more!" — Patrick M
Promising review: "I needed a shirt to wear on an 8 day Grand Canyon River Rafting Trip. I needed sun protection quick dry, cooling, and comfort was key. I bought 2 of these shirts and they were outstanding! They protected me from sunburn, so I did not need to worry about sunscreen. They kept me cool in 100 F plus weather, and dried quickly after each trip through the rapids. They were very comfortable, and held up great during the trip. I changed into a fresh shirt after day 4, but there was no odor even after 4 days. Once home they washed up great! Excellent product and great value!" — DR
Promising review: "I now have about 4 pairs of these Capri Highwaisted Leggings by BALEAF and I love them. They are very flattering and love, love, love the pockets!! They fit snuggly, but shape you beautifully. Too warm for Triple digit weather, but perfect during normal summer heat and early fall. They wash and wear well, so I would definitely buy these again." — D. Elliott
Promising review: "I bought this shirt for my husband. He loves them. So much that I bought almost every color for him. The fit is nice and true to size. They wash up beautiful and so far no piling or signs of wear. I machine wash and dry. He plays pickle ball everyday so they get plenty of use. I would buy these shirts again and give them as a gift." — Patricia Levi
Promising review: "Best running shorts I've found, ever. I'm 6 foot even and 160 lbs. These are not too short nor too long. They allow full flexibility for stretching and will not chafe after 12+ mile runs. They are not baggy either, which I've had problems with in other brands. I've owned 3 pairs for the past almost 3 years now rotating and using them daily and they are just starting to wear in the thigh area. So probably last one year of running 40-50 miles/week. I would keep wearing them, if that was an acceptable thing to do, so I bought 2 more and they look like they haven't changed a bit. The 5 inch inner seam seems to be the right fit for me. Any longer and they wouldn't feel like running shorts. I tried the 3 inch seam and they were too short for my build and whiteness. They are also very compatible with running spandex tights as well. I won't buy any other running shorts moving forward." — nick
Promising review: "I bought this skort for a trip to Hawaii where we planned on hiking. This skort turned out to be the best purchase. It was super comfortable and flattering. The longer length was great to pair with tanks or fitted tees. I went on two hikes with the skirt and the shorts did not ride up which has been a problem with many skorts from name brand fitness brands. I wished I had purchased several because I could have worn them everyday. I am 5'5 and 185 and typically wear a 12. I am pear shaped with a fuller tummy and bottom. The large was just a tad bit small and the pockets pulled. The XL fit great." — Amazon Customer
Promising review: "I bought these shorts about 3 years ago. I had to come back to review these shorts. I'm 5'3" and 187 lbs. They fit just below my knees. (as I like them). They wash well. I take them out of the dryer and either fold them or hang them up. They do not wrinkle if folded neatly or hung on hanger. They are very comfortable and wears very well. They are my favorite go to shorts. You can dress them up or down. I wear them every where. They have held their color and shape. I have several colors. The waist is elastic and not bulky. The waist stretches to flatten out on your waist. My weight flexes a few pounds up and down and they are still comfortable when I wear them. These shorts are great. One of the best buys I have ever made. I didn't review them when I bought them and I felt bad about it because they are still of good quality and have remained my go to short and at the rate they are holding up, they will be for a very long time. Buy them." — ragtop
Promising review: "I use these shorts for working out, going out for errands & even occasionally under dresses. They don’t fall, they’re not sheer in my opinion and they are very flattering. My favorite type are the buttery soft but I also have their other shorts and feel the same about them. Great. Repeat customer and recommend them to everyone I know." — Felicia
