Tired of Struggling with Gear That Lets You Down?
Outings shouldn't come with the hassle of finding privacy or using dirty, uncomfortable bathrooms. Whether you're deep in the woods, on a hike, or at a festival, the last thing you want is to fully undress or expose yourself just to take care of nature's call. With ELIRA's patented zipper technology, you can discreetly handle bathroom breaks anywhere, without sacrificing your comfort or privacy. Stop dealing with gross bathrooms or the embarrassment of being caught mid-squat—ELIRA pants give you the freedom to go, wherever and whenever you need.

Let customers speak for us
Purchased my pants last month and they are perfect for shoulder season and winter (I usually wear shorts/skirts/capris during the hottest part of the summer months). These pants are perfect for the Pacific North West and offer lots of flexibility when you don’ t have a “female adapter” handy. I wear a size 6/8 and purchased the medium and they fit great! I was a little concerned about the zipper, but I don’t notice it at all while hiking. I purchased these because they were offered in a 34in inseam, which is super hard to find. Glad to have a pair of nice looking pants for multiple uses while allowing easy access for peeing in the great outdoors. Can’t believe how flattering they are. Also purchased the underwear for the perfect combination.
I have so many pairs of underwear that are not comfortable when being active and sweating and these are awesome! I’m going to be honest and say I do not wear them with my Elira pants, because I haven’t figured out how to pull them apart and hold them open while I wipe, I found it just easier to wear a thong that I can pull to one side, but these quickly became my favorite undies to wear on long runs!
I am 5’6”, 125 lbs and have thin legs, so the XS fits me like a glove. Any ladies with a bigger butt or thighs than me would definitely want to go up a size, but I got little chicken legs so XS works well for me.
I am a big traditional climber with a baby-sized bladder. I can’t emphasize enough how awesome it is to pee on small ledges without taking my harness off mid-route in places men would never in their right minds because the zipper on their pants is positioned for their anatomy. I was also at a vet crowded crag this weekend and was able to pee quickly and discreetly keeping my harness on between routes as opposed to mooning an entire NOLS class.
I saw these as a kickstarter eons ago, but not long after I had a, ahem, full moon episode, while trying to pee along the side of the jeep on what we *thought* was an empty road. *oops*, LOL. I wasn’t ready to commit to pants, so I only went with underwear, thinking they’d be amazing under a skirt, particularly when traveling overseas. So far I’ve been very impressed. They’re comfy, wash well, wear well… So glad I decided to support this project and glad to see Kelly’s vision grow. If you’re a back country hiker or traveler, these are definitely a must.
With lots of roomy pockets, stretchy material that fits and feels great, durability in zipper, snaps, and material itself, drawstring at the ankle, strap to roll up the legs, what more could you want? Oh yeah, a zipper that goes ALL the way so you can pee privately - they have that too. Great product!
I took up wildlife photography and have been enjoying staying out in nature for many hours, trying to get wonderful images. Then I developed a painful bladder syndrome which requires me to pee more often than the average person or suffer severe pain. A friend of my daughters recommended these pants, and oh my gosh they are fantastic. At first I thought, how in the world would I ever reach the zipper and after one try it was a snap. Love them and they have freed e from being tethered to a toilet.
I loved the idea from the Kickstarter get-go...and these pants lived up to the challenge of a really new design with a lot of new features. The zipper works great, and is comfortable, the pants are comfortable - even when hiking a long distance! I especially love the cargo pocket detail that holds my phone gently in a sleeve. Most other cargo pockets the phone bangs around - gets old on long backpacks...but no more! Thanks Kelly!
I've been riding horses all my life & the most inconvenient part of that is peeing while out on the trail. These trousers have changed my life! No more disrobing, removing my GPS pouch, peeing on my boots or coat tails & my modesty is protected. I have just returned from the mountains & well & truly tested them out with over 6hrs riding each day. I am thrilled to say how bloody comfortable they are! I was dubious that I'd feel the zip, nope, can't feel it. I thought the material would be slippery, nope, my trouser legs stay down, they don't ride up my leg at all & the stretch allows me to mount from the ground without any problems. I also brushed past branches & scrub with no damage to the material, they still look brand new. Just brilliant, I cannot wait for my second pair to arrive. Thank you Kelly for an awesome pair of riding pants.

Just got back from 10 days of hiking and rockhounding in New Mexico where I tried out my pants for the first time. I am so pleased with them! They are super comfortable, the zipper is strong and you can't feel it against your skin. We experienced a variety of climates from snow and wind to desert heat. They pants kept me comfortable in all temperatures. The large pockets are great to stash equipment and the pants wash easily. I slipped twice and skinned my knee on rocks and even though I had a bloody gash on my skin, there was no damage to the pants whatsoever. I couldn't believe how well they are made! And, oh yes, peeing was a breeze.
Love these panties so much! I was cautious about this style being a plus sized woman. Turns out, I love them so so much. The most comfortable underwear I’ve ever worn. I regret not buying more so I might have to make another order!
I bought these pants from the kickstarter. Although it took a long time, Kelly was amazing with keeping great communication and keeping us up to date. When the pants finally arrived today, I couldn’t wait to rip that box open! Honestly, I was concerned how they would fit a plus sized body. I’ve gained some weight since I ordered these and I thought there’s no way I will love the fit of the pants and panties. Especially since I’m the photo the panties appear to be more of a bikini cut that I normally would hate. I was so pleasantly surprised! I love these panties! And because of the drawstring, I love that these pants will work through weight fluctuations. Also, I work in construction and I hate pulling my pants down and freezing my butt off in a nasty portapotty in the winter and I could see these functioning really well for that purpose as well. I am really pleased and so glad I had the foresight to back this project forever ago!
Yay! These pants fit! And pants never fit me. Super excited to go birding in the boondocks soon. You know how intimidating it can be to pee outdoors when all your buddies have binoculars:>0 Thanks for keeping the faith:)
First, the quality - intelligent design details that are task-oriented and extremely well executed. Not just the zipper function, but so many other features that make this a “go to” pair for hiking in the wild. I’m thrilled! And also impressed beyond measure when I think about Kelly’s journey, through Kickstarter and Covid, to get this done and make good on her commitment to her backers. This product is everything I hoped it would be, and everything I waited for.
I've been burned by enough Kickstarters that when Elira started having delays I just gave up on the pants. I figured if they ever came it would be a nice surprise. Well, they came suddenly and unexpectedly yesterday and I love them. They're so comfortable, the material is thick and stretchy and they feel very well made. At this point I am more annoyed with Kickstarter for being such a crappy start-up site because countless times I've seen dupes of products mass produced before the Kickstarter even gets off the ground. I will definitely be recommending these pants to female outdoors affcionados in my life!
