These awesome pants have been made to be simple and function as possible. The lightweight super stretchy soft material is breathable and suitable for traveling or easy hiking at warmer condition. They are equipped with drawstring at the cuff, which can be used as gaiters or rolled up as a ventilation. These pants have a ton of pockets, including 2 cargo pockets that hold just about anything including phone or camera. The performance of the VALIN is perfect enough that we would recommend this pair to anyone who prioritizes comfort, functionality and wants to carry a lot of stuff at hand.
