at a higher elevation, you walk a longer journey. functionality gives you what you need. wear these for years, like they were meant to be. on an eight pocket cargo pant, knee panels can be zipped off completely, wear them as ¾ shorts. the heavy cotton twill is lined with a soft jersey cotton. eight pockets flood throughout, six can be buttoned closed. drawcord makes the waist adjustable. every pant takes a special wash process, airbrushing done by hand throughout the seams. simple and protective, better than the others.
