Pants
Trail pants, zip-offs, merino travel pants, a softshell, a chino, and a cold-weather alpine pant.
Method on this page. Desk research from maker pages. The shortlist splits trail, convertible, wrinkle resistance, and merino.
Pants are where a backpacker and a business traveler stop sharing a list. Trail days want a nylon pant that can zip into shorts. A meeting wants a chino that does not wrinkle. A cold travel day can take merino.
The Ascender is the meeting chino. Unbound and Icebreaker cover merino. Outdoor Research and Arc’teryx cover trail and softshell. The KUHL Renegade adds UPF 50+. The Patagonia Alpine Guide is the cold hike pant.
