These lightweight pants have a number of technical features ideal for hiking and backpacking. An internal drawcord lets you adjust the fit in the waist, and hem drawcords cinch the legs in so the bugs stay outside. Choose from two inseam lengths, so you’re not dragging in the mud or appearing overly prepared for the next flood.

Fit guide

Garments, designed for specific activities have features that aren’t always adaptable to general use. For example, cycling clothing is longer in the back and arms. Activity aside, the fit of MEC clothing falls into these categories:

Body fit: tight, with no room to spare.

Slim fit: very close fit, with a bit of room.

Regular fit: generous, but not oversized.

Relaxed fit: oversized with lots of room for layers.

All MEC men’s and boy’s pants are regular rise.
