Burly pants that stand up to day hiking, scrambling, and overgrown trails. The weave gives them a cotton canvas feel, but they’re really a quick-dry nylon blend. You’ll appreciate that when you do some unscheduled creek fording or “iron” your Pratos by hanging them next to a steamy shower in a Kathmandu hostel.

• Made of nylon, with a hit of spandex for comfort and ease of movement.
• DWR finish reduces water wick-up for faster drying.
• Keyhole button fly closure.
• Button closure back pockets and zippered pocket on right thigh for secure stowage of essentials.

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.
