ExOfficio Gobi Explorer Pants (For Men)

I wanted a pair of pants that could hold up to hike's in Kauai on my honeymoon and take on mountain trails in Arizona.The pant's water proof ability will work great in the rain on my trip. Back home the stain resistance / light weight will combat the red clay trails and won't wiegh me down. Look's like I found the perfect pant!

Great details on pants. Very comfortable, soft material. Pockets-a-plenty. Fits perfectly.

After a week of hard use in the Boundary Waters, the opinion was unanimous (my wife has the women's version), these are the best all-around outdoor pants we've ever worn! Not the lightest weight, but breathable enough to wear in most cold to warm conditions, and the cuff cinch allows for them to be drawn up above or below the knee when things get hot! One of the coolest things was how resistant they are to tears/abrasions. We walked through thorns and briar patches and the pants didn't so much as snag in passing. I guess the best I can say is that these pants will be in my pack for every foreseeable future trip!

A previous reviewer's suggestion was to just buy them. I am glad I did. And then I bought 2 more with the intention of gifting one. But am now not sure about the gifting idea, since these are closeouts and probably won't be available again anytime soon! Sitting on the couch right now, I am surprised that I am wearing these very pants, and am not in my pajamas! And it has happened many times before.

I purchased these primarily for hiking, and I like the fit, weight, and pockets. However, I find them quite comfortable and use them for casual wear, as well.
