Why We Built The Active Utility Pant

Somewhat similar to that multi-tool you keep in its back pocket, the Backcountry Active Utility Pant can serve many a purpose. This technical-driven pant features quick-drying fabric that's breathable and stretchy, so whether you're on the trail, setting up camp, or reaching for that next foothold, you'll find comfort and mobility. Two zippered cargo pockets come in handy for stashing small essentials, and snaps at the ankles help reduce bulk if you're doing some fancy footwork at the crag.

Best Pants Ever!!

I got these pants and when I first put them on I knew they were the best pants ever. Super stretchy and breathable. I went climbing in them the day I got them and they were so durable and comfortable. I would buy more colors if there were more colors. Also the pockets are super cool and sleek in their design. All cargo pants pockets should be like them.

These pants are the best. They are attractive and functionable. My partner wears them on hikes and for everyday use, work, running errands and more. Love the color and the fit.

My new fav pants

These pants are so great. The fit is perfect. The fabric is slightly thicker, softer, and warmer than similar pants I own. Just the right amount of stretch. The brown I purchased is lighter than pictured, which is actually a plus for me. I was skeptical about the goofy looking pockets, but they?re not as noticeable in person and I?ve found them quite functional. Buy these, you won?t regret it.

Awesome pants for every day basecamp kind of us. Durable, comfy and stretch easily. Fits nicely into the category of "not too puffy and not too lightweight"

Great Outdoor Pants

Familiarity:
I've put it through the wringer
Size Bought:
32

I wear these to work out on the golf course, hiking, climbing, biking, and whenever I can because they are super comfortable. Was a little hesitant about the thigh pockets at first but they actually look great and are more appealing than your traditional cargo pants pockets. They have a great flexibility to them and are decently water resistant. I own both colors and would love to see more colors come out.

Crag essential pants!

Preface: I am an honorary backcountry Gearhead, these pants were provided to me, but here is my personal experience with them. When it comes to pants for a climber, it is pretty simple: they need to fit and they need to be usable in climbing environments. For me, I have added complexity of huge, tree trunk thighs, made from years of basketball, football, mountaineering, and snowboarding. Combined with a short 29 inseam, there are very few pants I can fit. Most all will end up with a hole in the crotch a few climbs in. Lucky for me, these pants fit the bill - literally. Stretchy enough to accommodate my thighs and the buttons on the bottom helped with my inseam. Fit, check. As far as utility goes, that’s where the thigh zip pockets come in. With a harness on, I have full access to these pockets. Which is super helpful to stash a phone, snacks, or some accessories while roped up! The pic I attached to this review is from a day of ascending ropes and learning climbing photography whilst dangling. Grab these pants, true to your waist size, and enjoy!

DIFFERENT!

Familiarity:
I returned this product before using it
Size Bought:
36X32
Height:

I know the title is a bit cryptic but hope to explain why. First let me say the rating is a tentative one because this item had to be returned as it ran quite a bit too large (ordered 36 and it might have fit a 38). I've never owned pants that had material even resembling that used in these. The 12% spandex makes them amazingly stretchy. The material does feel fairly light and only time would tell if it was durable. I never got a chance to utilize the "cargo" pockets but could not figure out exactly what I would have used them for. They did seem overly bulky and am not sure that the angle at which they're placed would not cause items to fall out when opened. Yes, more colors would be nice. I'm not sure if I'll reorder a smaller size.

True to size, but tight in the legs. If you have muscular legs, they fit like skinny jeans. That's not my style, and the zipper thigh pockets are a little unattractive. That said, since I've had them, I've done a full leg day in them, a couple miles in central Texas brush, and a couple predawn motorcycle rides, and I'm impressed. They move well, stretch so the tapered fit doesn't restrict, don't ride up, and breathe well, for being virtually waterproof, and as well as they cut the wind. Also, the ugly zipper pockets are my favorite style and placement for utility. Way easier to get in and out of, sitting. The snap closure on the ankles is a nice touch. Wish there was a lighter natural color, and I wish I could wear them out with a nice shirt, but they're solid outdoor pants. Edit: they didn't withstand abrasion against rocks very well. Scraped several holes through the material, and into me, in an afternoon exploring cliffs and rock slides.

It was a Saturday evening, we were playing Triominos, its a game like dominos but the pieces are triangles hence the name. I was impatiently waiting for my pants to show up in my mail. It was around 4pm, central standard time, when to my surprise the mail lady showed up to our house! I jumped for joy and ran to the mailbox. I ripped into the packaging and felt the materials... for way too long. I looked at the pockets, the seams, the buttons on the bottom on the leg. Finally it was time to put them on. I was taken aback while I was buttoning them up. The fit, the comfort, the feel. My oh my how they made me feel 5 years younger. I could bend, move, flex, and stretch with ease. They are very light weight, and stretchy. They fit like a jogger but perform like yoga pants. Amazing. 5 stars aren't enough for the way that these pants cup my buttocks.
