These pants are made of a lightweight, water-repellent stretch-nylon fabric. They’re moisture-wicking and quick drying, too, making them perfect for hikes in warm weather conditions. The pants have a standard straight build but also have a seat gusset and articulated knees, allowing you to bend, crouch, and climb without encountering resistance at the knees or crotch.
One shopper who bought the pants specifically as trekking pants said they “could not be happier” and described the design as “light enough for hiking in the sun, but not overheating.”

As we’re already seeing pairs of the trek pants sell out, your size and favorite color combo could be next. If you want this new arrival at the REI Outlet store and to nab the 25% discount, you’ll need to act quickly.
