Explorer I
Trail Blazer 2.0 Pants
So recently I was at Overland Expo East and was looking for something special. I had been perusing Instagram and because of the algorithms that track all of our lives on the internet I was presented with an ad from Off the Grid Surplus, an apparel company. They had an ad for their new Trailblazer 2.0 pants that looked off the charts. As I began to investigate these britches I decided I wanted a pair for myself. Being that they were $69 was a bit hesitant to order because I have a hard time fitting pants because of my squaty body shape. I saw that they were going to be at the Overland Expo East. I decided since I was going to be there I would simply buy pair there after trying them on. The Expo was an amazingly muddy affair. I went to the OTG booth and after digging through the boxes they finally found me a pair in my size. Because of the weather though I didn't want to muddy them up simply trying them on and if they didn't fit OTG would now own a muddy pair of pants. They agreed and appreciated the forethought. Once I got home I immediately tried them on and I was so impressed. the material is 98% cotton and 2% spandex which gives them a stretchy quality. There are pockets everywhere without feeling like your wearing your dad's cargo pants. There are even two "mag" pockets. Since I'm not much of a gun guy I guess I'll find another use for them. The seams are triple stitched and the knees are pre-bent. There are some very specific care instructions so be careful when washing. Look for a long term review in the next few months....
