Gone are the days when you’d have to wear stiff, unyielding pants for outdoor activities. Today, you can find a wide range of pants durable enough to withstand the rigors of adventure while still being breathable, stretchy, and weather-resistant—and that’s exactly what these Columbia pants are. Made from 98% cotton with some stretchy elastane, these pants give you that warm but rugged feel without the shiny, slickness of purely synthetic pants. The fabric is also rated UPF 50 for blocking harmful rays. A variety of pockets help stash essentials while belt loops let you dial in the fit even better and strategic gussets add to their comfort and mobility.

Happy customers widely praised the pants as being “comfortable” and “very durable.” One said, “They look clean and presentable but are still utilitarian enough to get the job done without worrying about blowouts at the seams.” And another shopper wore them “on a construction site" and was happy to say that "they last.”
