Wear the Mountain Khakis Men's Alpine Utility Pants to work on Friday and go straight from the office to your weekend outdoor adventures. Mountain Khakis built these relaxed-fit pants with double-layered fabric on the knees and rear to ward off wear from rock climbing, horseback riding, and sitting on unpadded fishing-boat seats. The Alpine Utility Pants' cotton canvas is woven from two-ply threads for strength and suppleness. Triple-stitched seams and heavy-duty bar tacks hold this iron-clad material together. Though tough on the outside, the Mountain Khakis Alpine Utility pants are brushed on the inside to help prevent chafing.
Bottom Line: Go straight from work to play with the Mountain Khakis Alpine Utility Pants.
I own three pairs of Mountain Khakis Utility Pants. They are built to last and they look casual enough to wear in a professional environment. I agree with the comments about sizing, they run a little small and there is play in the waist, even after multiple wears and washings.
I have several pairs of MK's and really like them. The gusseted crotch is a nice feature and they wear like iron. They may run a little tighter in the waist than Carhartt's, but I've always thought Carhartts were vanity sized anyway. ;-)
I got my Mountain Khaki Utility Pants about a year ago and have worn them two to three times a week. So that's about 130 days with them on and about 50 washes. No doubt, these are some tough pants. The price tag is pretty steep, but they're at least twice a tough as regular pants and far more comfortable than Carhartts, so they're a good value. I like the cell phone pocket and the gusseted crotch. I'll get another pair when these wear out, but it could be another year or two or, heck, maybe even five. I always wash them in cold water so they don't shrink.
Do the Alpine Utilities have a gusseted crotch? The description says they don't but I've seen some post's that say they do. Just wondering if they do or not.
Worst fitting pair of pants I have ever spent $80 dollars on. I am 5'11" tall, 170 lbs and very fit, a size 34 waist is tight and the pants ride high on my hips. I bought a 34 waist so the pants will be loose fitting and comfortable. I own a construction company and have worn every brand out there and would not recomend these what a dissapointment!
I had these are smaller in the thigh than the original MKs maybe it is because i have done a lot of biking and my legs have gotten bigger or that i have bigger legs than normal but the fit is just kind of uncomfortable. Also I wear a 36x34 in all pants and usually have to wear a belt. These are tight and shorter in that size. Unless you get them on sale they are not worth the money.
I've been wearing my two pairs of Mountian Khakis for over a year now. I wear them everyday (except when my wife can steal them away and get them in the washing machine!) The fit great, and they sell them in length long enough for my 6'4" build. They are made of a soft hand cotton that has stayed soft after a year. I liked them so my, I just bought two more pair for the closet. Keep it up MK!
I'm 6'3, so an inch shorter than you. Just out of curiosity, what length did you buy? Typically I wear 34x34, but now i'm considering 36x36, what do you think?
I got this pants the other day and love them. They are made very well and the cotton canvas is very soft compared to some of the other pants I have tried out there. I am 6'3" 210lbs and went with the 34x34 and they fit great.
MKs are sturdily constructed, and yes - pricy. But, like all other gear are an investment. That being said, I love MKs. Have bouldered and hiked in them and I know plenty of people who routinely climb, travel, and backpack in them. I have multiple pairs, which brings me to my only qualm... MK seems to have a quality control issue with their sizing (as one can see from previous reviews). Each pair of my 30x32 pants fits differently. I highly recommend buying them IN store rather than online, unless you can readily return them if they do not fit properly. Love the product, but they need to improve upon this one fault.
These are the best pants I have! They fit great, lots of room to maneuver. Tough construction and durable fabric. May fit alittle tight right off the bat, but with wear they loosen up... very comfortable!
I bought these for work and they're turning out to be great. A nice alternative to Carhart and in the same league. In fact, I ended up buying a second pair!
I was hesitant to purchase these pants at first but wanted to give them a try. They're really comfortable considering how tough they are, they have pockets in the right places, and theyre really durable and look casual enough for a nice evening jaunt. The color is nice too. The fit is more relaxed boot cut, which suits me well. Great service.
You can beat up these pants and they will not rip, tear, or wear out. I wear mine for working construction and they look brand new and i have had them for almost a full year
Overall, I love these pants, although it took me a while to acquire the right size. They are very durable, but much more comfortable than my Carhartts. However, Mountain Khakis has some serious quality control issues. I have ordered several pairs of pants from them in a variety of different styles, and the lengths have varied by as much as three inches (all were ordered as the same size). One pair was so short that I called MK directly to complain. They helped me exchange at no charge, but I would have preferred that the pants were right in the first place. They have a good product, but I doubt I would buy another pair given the hassle.
My rating is: Pants: 5 stars Mountain Khakis: 2 stars
Heinously expensive, it's true. And I was shocked, nay, appalled, to see that they're made in Cambodia. I figure they outsourced from the get-go to avoid the controversy when they move from Jackson Hole to wherever. Anyways-I really like the fabric, color, and styling. They are tough and comfortable. Carhartts are stiffer. These seem a bit more polished, seams are noticeably tighter, but mainly they seemed like a cool pair of pants. Which they are. I wish the back pockets buttoned to secure my wallet, but otherwise the design's spot-on. The gusseted crotch is nice, but I can feel the extra bulk of the seams there. They're the kind of pants that you definitely will wear out (because you wear them so much, not cause they're weak), so at least you get a lot of wear for your dollars.
I own a pair of the original mountain pant, and I just purchased these for work and hanging around. The double seat and knees are nice and are not so stiff like other brands. They cell phone pocket is grea, itt has a little hood on it to keep the cellie in when sitting. Must say they fit great and felt great right off the rack.
These pants are well made and the fabric is broken in and comfy. However, they fit small. Also, I was disappointed and surprised in the amount of shrinking. So, if in doubt, you really need to size up. Given the sizing, shrinkage, and price they don't seem a good value.
The Mountain Khakis are very solid with out the extra weight of other work pants. I love the gusset crotch and will definitely buy another pair! Also I would give an A+ for the extra touches, like the front pocket openings being set forward a little and the hidden right front pocket. Finally I would like to say that I really did not notice any shrinking like others claimed?? The most comfortable pants I have had for work, bar none!
I got these pants for bushwhacking and after wearing these for 2 weeks straight I have found them to be superb. I have brought them deep into the woods for bushwhacking and sliding across trees to cross rivers, they are super durable and you wont feel any briars. I live in a windy area and these bad boys cut the wind down significantly. The pants do ride higher than say hipster pants but I don't find them to be uncomfortable, they sit a good 1.5 inches below my naval. I am 5'10, 155lbs and found that a 32x30 fits me perfect. The color is true to the picture. They are easily brushed off to keep clean so I have had no problem getting really dirty and then wearing them around the next day. As a cotton pant though, when wet they due take time to dry so I wouldn't recommend them for really wet bushwhacking as you may get cold (not to mention possible chaffing). All around tough pair of pants though, love the extra pockets and will be getting another pair soon.
I bought these pants with the desire for a tough do anything pant. They have far exceeded my expectations. They are right at home working in the shop, climbing at the crag, or around town. The fit seems to be right on for me, maybe a hair on the small side but still loose enough for the need of a belt. Overall, great pants!!! You will like them.
Bought these pants mainly for climbing but they are also great for pretty much anything else. Super durable, has stood up well so far to some nasty off-width. A bit stiff until broken in but its worth it. Like others have said, sizing can be a bit odd. Having bought some in a store already, I didn't mind buying online. Definitely try them on first.
I wear one of my 4 pairs of MKs about 8 days of the weeks. Needless to say I LOVE my MKs!! However, to echo what other reviewers have said, be careful with sizing! My Alpine Utility Pants (size (33x30) and my Teton Twill Pants (33x30 as well, which is the size pant I'd go buy normally) do NOT fit me well after a few washes. My two newer pairs of MKs (Original Mountain Pants) that I have purchased a size up in both waist and length (34x32) based on my previous experiences seemed big at first but give them a few 5-6 washes and they'll soon be your go to pant every morning when you get dressed!
Used these pants hard for five days straight at a rope rescue class. Very comfortable and very durable. The sizing was right on for me, maybe a bit long. Looking forward to another pair soon.
These are great pants. Durable, comfortable, and they just feel great. A little heavy for summer use, these things are perfect the winter. I wear them so often my wife calls them my uniform. Some people have complained that these fit small, but I find that they're spot on. They do fit smaller than Carhartts, but I've always thought Carharrts were a little big on me. I'd buy these again in a heartbeat.
These pants are soft to the touch, but with reinforced knee areas and an action gusset crotch they are ready for action. The fit is accurate on the waist and they are cut loose for nice freedom of movement. I decided to put them to the chaffing test right off the shelf by wearing them for my evening bike commute home. They are very comfortable without pre-washing, which is rare for this kind of pant, and they passed my bike ride with no chaffing issues. Add that to the list of activities that Mountain Khakis are for: Camp, Mountain, Board Room, Fly-Fish, Brew Pub, Rock Climb, Bike Commute. What a versatile pant!!! The perfect blend of comfort, rugged durability, and mountain style. These just became my go-to daily pants.
It's almost as if Mountain Khaki picked apart their main competitor and designed their pant according to what their competitor's was lacking. Soft off the start, better fit, diamond shaped crotch so no ripping there, reinforced rear and knees, and a couple of extra pockets. What I like best is that the 32X30 is on the short side. I don't have to roll them or didn't have to have them hemmed (unlike every other pair of pants I've ever owned). I use them for work and cool weather hiking. I've even climbed in them! Try 'em out and see how versatile they are!
These Alpine pants are worth the money. They do seem to shrink a bit though, so size up. I love the gusseted crotch and the freedom of movement. I love pant!
