Why MINERVA exists
We started MINERVA with a simple frustration: women's pants either had fake pockets, vanity sizing, or were designed for someone else's body.
We make cargo pants and shorts for women who move — hiking trails, morning runs, weekend errands, and everything in between. Every pocket is real. Every inch on our size chart is measured from the actual garment. No vanity sizing, no guesswork.
Ships from California
Every order ships from our warehouse in Fontana, California. No dropshipping from overseas, no 3-week waits. What you see is what gets packed.
Real inch sizing
We measure the garment, not the model. If our size chart says 32" waist, it's 32". We publish the full measurements for every style in XS–XXXL so you can buy with confidence.
The name
Minerva is the Roman goddess of wisdom and craft. We like to think she'd appreciate a well-designed pocket.
