HIKEOUT ZIP OFF PANTS M

The tapered fit moves with me on steep climbs, and the zip-off legs make the transition from trail to town seamless in under a minute. The fabric breathes well on warm stretches without feeling flimsy against brush.

I was skeptical about the zipper holding up on the trail, but the TEXASHIELD CORE fabric feels solid and the tapered fit doesn’t bind when I climb. Been wearing them for two full days of hiking, and they breathe well even in the sun.

Finally, a pair of zip-off pants that actually fit well in the legs without flapping around. The fabric is lightweight but has held up against some serious brush, and I love that the zippers are smooth and don't dig in when I'm wearing a pack.
