Lightweight pants for tackling steep switchbacks on a day hike, or heading out on a multi-day trip. An internal drawcord with belt loops lets you tune the fit in the waist, while the gusseted crotch increases your range of motion as you duck and dodge obstacles on the trail. The fabric dries out quickly, in case creek crossings doesn’t go quite as planned.

• 2 front slash pockets, and 2 rear zippered pockets.
• Thigh pocket closes securely with a snap and zipper.
• Elastic closure on hems, so the bugs stay out.
