Pants!

[diabetiktaco]

This thread could be considered questionable. However, I just bought a pair of shorts from Prometheus Design Werx. They're amazing. HOWEVER, they don't make pants in my size (42). So, these shorts are light, stretchy, have cargo pockets galore, and are made in USA. Looking to see if anyone has recomendation in clothing brands ya'll wear that may be similiar. I've got some north face convertible pants but they're a little swishy (like stiff) and not comfortable to wear for days.

Basically looking for these.

When I’m not climbing, hiking or doing a lot of moving around outside I tend to want a stronger pant or pair of shorts - something rugged that can take a beating. I just bought a pair of Helly-Hansen Essential Canvas shorts and absolutely love them. I ended up replacing all of my shorts with them short thereafter. Typical old school canvas feel and ruggedness. I wouldn’t recommend them for exercising, but they are perfect for overlanding, camping, outdoor work, etc. They come in pants as well. Hell, they even look good.

I bought these and they are near perfect.

Here are the 2 I have; the Kuhl Renegade and 5.11 TacLite Pro. The Kuhl is an all synthetic pant that the legs zip off...very light weight. The 5.11 is a 60/40 poly cotton blend which is a little stiffer than the Kuhl but do soften after time. My 5.11 pants are over 12 years old and still kicking. The Kuhls I've had for a year and a half and show no wear.

Prana Zion pants are my go to. comfortable, tough (made for rock climbing/hiking), and most importantly stretchy!

My wife just bought a bunch of prana stuff. I never heard of it before but she loves it. She had pants envy when she saw my prometheus pants.

3rd vote for the Prana Zion, and also the Zioneer which I think have a better (less visible) pocket setup.

Paying so much for pants is just throwing money away IMO. These do the same thing for a fraction of the price. YMMV

I had 2 pairs of these, i would spend the extra $ on the Zions any day. I don't hate the wranglers, but you def get what you pay for.(ie the seems will come apart within a few wears) like rzims said, the Zions will last for years to come.

Weird I have some that are probably 10 years old. Even if they last two years. They are a little over 20 bucks
