Even when it’s scorching outside, these pants feel light and cool. Designed primarily for backpacking, they have a go-anywhere, do-anything minimilism and are made to withstand years of wear. For this season, the overall fit has been tweaked and the mesh pocket liners have been replaced with fabric, so your keys won't poke holes.

• Fabric is 100% nylon with DWR (durable water repellency) finish.
• Double fabric on bum for extra durability.
• Two front slash pockets with fabric pocket bags.
• Flap-covered, Velcro®-secured wallet pocket.
• Elasticized waist with drawcord.
• Drawcord adjustment at cuffs reduces snagging and keeps out bugs.
• Internal drawcord loop, useful for clipping keys.

Fit guide

Technical 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:

Tight, with no room to spare.

Very close fit, with a bit of room.

Generous, but not oversized.

Oversized with lots of room for layers.
