Zpacks Travel & Trail Hiking Pants

Took these on a three-week section hike and the fabric held up through brush, rain, and a few scrambles without a single snag. The articulated knees let me climb and squat without that annoying bunching at the back. They dry fast enough that I could rinse them in a creek and wear them out ten minute

These feel noticeably lighter than my regular hiking pants, but the fabric still handled a day of bushwhacking without any rips. The articulated knees were a nice surprise, making scrambling up rocks way less restrictive than I expected.

First pair of pants I’ve owned that actually dries in under an hour after a river crossing. The fabric feels tough but moves well when scrambling over rocks. Only wish they had a zip pocket for my phone.
