These performance pants are crafted from a unique tech ripstop made by the experts at Olmetex, a world-renowned mill established in 1954 in Italy’s Como region. Ripstop is a military innovation, often used in uniforms and parachutes — it’s woven using a special technique that creates a fine crosshatch pattern, making it both lightweight and incredibly resistant to tearing. There are plenty of practical pockets: two gusseted camp pockets at each side, with additional waterproof zippered pockets on top (pockets on pockets!), and two zippered back pockets, too. The fit is a little parachute pant: wide and roomy through the hip and thigh before tapering at the ankle, where there are power cords to cinch them shut. A favorite detail: the magnetic closure at the waist. 100% Polyamide Full But Tapered Fit Elastic Powercord Waist Magnetic Snap Closure Belt Loops Two Gusseted Camp Pockets Waterproof Zippered Welt Pockets Waterproof Zippered Back Pockets Power Cinch Cord at Ankle Style PA401510
