RecTrek 26" Pant

About this find

The RecTrek 26" Pant from Outdoor Voices is built around a simple idea: one pair that works for plenty of different days. It is made from a water-repellent fabric with 4-way stretch, so the pant moves with you when you climb stairs, crouch to tie a shoe, or reach for something on a high shelf.

Inside the waist, there is an internal drawstring, which lets you adjust the fit so the pant sits the way you like it. Because the drawstring is inside, the outside of the waistband stays clean and uncluttered. Two identical side pockets give you a spot for the small things you grab on your way out the door.

A separate media pocket adds a dedicated place for your phone, so it stays easy to reach on a walk, a commute, or a day of errands. The water-repellent fabric also makes these a sensible pick for days when the weather looks a little uncertain, since you are not starting out in a fabric that soaks up moisture right away.

Pair them with a simple tee, and bring a light layer you can add or remove as the day changes. That makes the pant easy to take from a morning walk to the store to a casual afternoon with friends, with room to move and your essentials kept close.
