There are not many people on RUclips who makes reviews base on their experience. Most of them just read the official specifications. You've done o good job in this review.
Thanks dude - easily the best pants review I’ve watched! Definitely keep making these, Alex!!
Happy its of help.. we went slightly scientific on it
you prolly dont care at all but does any of you know of a way to get back into an instagram account??
I was stupid forgot my account password. I would love any help you can give me!
@Torin Huxley instablaster ;)
@Paxton Orlando i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and Im trying it out now.
Seems to take quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.
@Paxton Orlando it did the trick and I finally got access to my account again. I'm so happy!
Thanks so much, you saved my account!
I can not thank you enough for recommending these pants to me. I use to only wear old navy or h&m brand pants and the crotch of the pants will always break on me, plus they never felt comfortable. I felt every step felt like a mission. Then I went to cargo pants felt amazing but they were just to baggy. But when I paid for these pants o my gurd I feel like I’m walking on a cloud. Buddy thank you thank you 🙏🏽. Plus I just got into hiking 💪🏾🙏🏽
Great review! And good to see your wrist has healed meanwhile!
I definitely agree with your top choice, but I'm also super biased :) I work for the store in San Francisco haha. They really do strive to make the best designed clothing products. Awesome, I'll tell them you like the pants!
When I saw this guy is a tapered pant freak......instant sub.
The Mountain Hardware pants are called AP Trousers and the color is Shark. And they still do make them.! :D
Got a lot of value from this, thanks Alex.
I really enjoy how you review. Super relaxed and cogent.
I like your style man. Having moved from California to Colorado, I've kinda been evolving from a more workwear to a more techware style and I like learning about these brands that offer form and function. Really digging those Reykjavik Trousers.
Hey man! Great video, and great timing! I'm actually in the market for some new pants. Have you tried the Du'er adventure pants?
Cool! Shopping for pants and enjoyed the review!
Was actually just looking for review about pants... because need a good pair of them. Ended up in your video and was like woah , I´m following this guy in instagram because of the great pictures... I didn´t even knew you had youtube channel... Well will start to follow here as well... :D
What a great review!!!! So much work..wow
For Lululemon, I'd recommend the License to Train (either the joggers or the pants) for all around use. They're versatile, vented, tapered and incredibly comfortable.
Thanks for this detail review bro!
I love the Mountain Hardwear pants... I'd still wear them all torn up b/c of the story you have with them. Never give up on your pants.
Thanks for the review :)
I've been looking around a bit for pants like this, and also found the Houdini Way to Go pants (Houdini is another swedish brand). Sounds like they might be right up your alley.
Thanks, Alex, really helpful!
Eddie Bauer guide pro pants are my favorite summer pants to wear outdoors. Breathable, plenty of pockets, DWR finish, and very stretchy. They retail for $80 but you can get them cheaper during certain times of the year. You should give them a try.
This -- I grabbed a pair on Black Friday for 40 bucks, and another online for 60. I would recommend the *slim version* though. They are tapered and look much better on me than the regular cut guide pro. The fabric has plenty of stretch so that the tapered cut honestly does not affect mobility that much.
@@persona-non-grata I’ll have to try the slim version out.
Oh great! I'm looking forward to for a long time! Fans from Taiwan.
Great review. Tapered at the bottom is a meter of personal preference. In my case, I need them to cover the shoes to wear at work. A taper adjustment for the outdoors is great. Some of us have thick legs for a medium built body. I would have loved if you would have include some pants model by Kuhl. Maybe next time. Thanks
Kuhl are pants that I really want to try some day, especially the Radikl action or Silencr. Their price is a bit high though at $90. Right now I go with Eddie Bauer Guide Pro (Slim version, usually on sale for $60) -- and if I really want to go budget, I go Wrangler ATG Eco Synthetic for like $48. Maybe one day I'll snag a pair of Kuhl's to see how they fit.
Dude, you'll fall in love with Kühl. My favorite is the Renegade, but for skinnier legs look at Renegade Rock pant.
What sort of shoes have you got on this video? Lasportiva I think but what model?
Fantastic... You should do a update of maybe other pants you have found.... This was a fantastic guide for me...
Love the review! Waterproof hiking jackets next if you will?
Would have liked to know the weight and how much hard use or walking through brush they could handle.
With the Arcteryx pants, do you wish you went up in size with the waist? I'm a 32in typically as well but am debating if getting the 32in or the 34in is the better call.
Yes wishing I went one up definitely.
Need this one for camera bags!
take a look : ruclips.net/video/0LiLtXOlESI/видео.html
I agree, Arc’teryx is tighter on the waist. I also wear 32 and rely on a belt.
can you tell more about the topo variant; they seem to be the most interesting ones...
Thank you. Excellent video
That was very nice and informative. thanks.. would you consider making the same kind of video with your favorite hiking teeshirts brand. for the last couple of years i'm only using icebreaker for the confort and especially the smell! but i'm curious if you're using other kinds of fabric and are happy about it.. merci...
take a look : ruclips.net/video/0LiLtXOlESI/видео.html
Nice rev!!
I love my Prana Zion pants! I wear them on every single hike, got them for super cheap on eBay as well, $30. They are water repellant, stylish, & great in heat or cold!
I second this on the Zion as well as the Brion, which is the same thing without the side pocket
Justin Hardigree The side pocket is great for keys & wallet!
take a look : ruclips.net/video/0LiLtXOlESI/видео.html
I love this. Do sneakers or hiking boots next?
could be the beginning of a series!
John Ryan lowa renegade or salmon 4d 3 gtx these are more for backpacking but are still comfy
Hiking boots altra lone peak 4 high or Salomon x ultra 3 these are a bit lighter and are less stiff
I was looking at maybe buying a pair of one of these type pants..... Then this video reminded me that I ran a lot, and skinny style pants fit pretty tight.
Great video. May I ask the model of your Addidas trainers?
Nice basic review of a few options. I wish you would have talked more about the pockets. If you're focused on urban area, most likely you'll be riding busses, be in crowds and such. I'm looking for such a pant that has zippered pockets, for a bit of theft proofing. Seems to be two camps for this option, either no attention to it, or way over done. Any suggestions from what you've seen?
HI Alex - some trousers are no longer available, do you know the equivalent models?
I always prefer an adjustable leg opening usually a bungee cord style..Maybe you some recommendations of brands that I may not no have tried?
Yes, these guys www.thenorthface.com/shop/mens-pants-shorts-casual-hiking/mens-progressor-pants-nf0a3c6x?variationId=0C5#hero=0
The first one seem so tight like no freedom of movement. Can you squat or put things in your pockets with it not getting noticed?
I'm having trouble finding the right size for me, i need 30 in waist and 32 in inseam. Found Nau Motil and wear for some years, I thought is the perfect pant till i bought for hiking fjallraven abisko lite which feels even better. The colour washes out very quickly. I have also some north66 for winter but 30 is tight and becomes uncomfortable after a while, and some 32 for summer bought when i didn't knew my size but are unusable, so i think i'm done with the north66 experiment. Patagonia has some nice ones as well but the wrong sizes.
Thanks, I'll check the Nau's out
Appreciate the effort
Hi Alex, thanks for the review. Can I please ask what your height and weight is so I can compare? I just bought some Arc'teryx Starke pants online in size 32, which is my normal size. I am 176cm tall and 71 kg, so I am worried they maybe too big. We'll find out I guess.
Tell me if you find something. I also search one right now.
you should get the mountain hardware pair repaired with patches and big stitches.
Obviously i'm quite late to the party here but it would be good to note that Fjallraven provides many styles that have that ankle adjustment system similar to the arcteryx in the video!
I mean, the dude is reviewing a Fjallraven hunting pants and wonders why it has a knife pocket...
What color were the stormlands?
Thoughts on Patagonia Terrebonne joggers?
Arcteryx Cronin pants. The best
try revolution race. I love them!
A good Zipper!!! Is what I need
great video, still waiting for the Outdoor Shirts Review.
He'll probably get a bunch of shirts, then tear the sleeves off of them and remove the collars, then title it, "8 Outdoors Shirts Reviewed."
Most durable pair?
Just get the Wrangler hikers from Walmart for $21.92 and call it a day. From the looks of it, they stack up well with most of these. Might have to take them to the seamstress to fey them up a little, but they do well by me for daily hiking use.
I think those lululemons are the commission pant. The abc has more of a Jean pocket and the commission has a khaki pocket.
Check out the Houdini brand as well, Swedish like the Fjällräven
Compared to all these the Brion pant from Prana seems to be a really good option. 5 pocket design, stretch, durable non-shiny fabric, DWR. They just need to be tapered, and only cost $80.
I own fjällräven pants, they are very high in quality, many useful pockets and feels good to wear.
Dude this is one of the most solid reviews I've ever seen.
Nice review... But you should true the montane alpine stretch pants or the montane on sight pants... And also definitely pants from bergens of Norway......
great film! let me know how your professor grades it!
Too funny.
U should try the Nordwand Pro pants by RevolutionRace. They are reasonable priced at about 110 USD and just as good or better quality and design as the biggest well-known brands.
Great review... But your need to try some Paramo trousers.... You'll be impressed
Hey Alex, you should check out the Eddie Bauer First Ascent pants. I'm a pants snob too. I bought two pair for $50 each and they are durable, comfortable, stretchy and water repellent with DWR. I personally like them because of there solid blue, black and brown colors which aren't shiny(hate shiny). And they have butt pockets and cool side pockets. You would have to taper them, big deal! Just thought I'd mention it. Keep up the videos. thanks.
Eddie Bauer just came out with the Slim version of these! It's only in 3 colors, but they fit perfectly and are exactly what I wanted in a stretchy, tapered, hiking pant. There's also plenty of room/stretch in the waist for me to carry my Walther CCP in my IWB holster. They are my new favorite pant.
I wouldn't mind someone doing an independant review of the trousers by Revolution Race. How about it?
Nice review Alex , maybe I am just an old guy but why the tapering? I have never made fashion statements about hiking trousers but I would obviously never be seen dead in flared trousers. Incidentally just like my shopping I always seem to like the look and feel of the most expensive things on offer irrespective of whether they have a price tag on or not.
Why didnt you show the pants when annoucing the winnerd
I'm in the market for pants and as a fellow svelte man, these reviews helped tremendously. I felt your pain when you bought those medium Colorado pants and they came out looking like that.
Wheres the pocket on the esja?
You should try Columbia Triple Canyon pants. Better than all of those IMO and it's like $50.
Wondering why Prana didn't make the list? They'd practically be a budget option in this line-up.
"You want to be careful not to eat too much when you wear these" haha. Helpful and adorable modeling and reviewing with an endearing accent. Thanks for this fun video. Especially the ABC acronym lesson. My passion for pants has grown watching this.
Thumbnail reminded me of the Joker from Suicide Squad! Alex, how about a review on gloves? I would love your input for trekking and mountaineering gloves. Using a camera with those can be a challenge.
How tall are you?
He so cool. I want to be cool like him some day.
He's just a normal person like you. You can be cool in your own way too
Dammit! Where is MY village seamstress?!
Why would you get one of the pairs tappered it would make it almost impossible to pull them over a boot
511 Tactical Stryke best hands down in comfort.
511 is overrated.
True two years ago, 5.11 has since changed the design and the fit is now WAY too tight, especially in the crotch... also the crotch will give out in less than a year. Pass.
Houdini Motion pants bro, you have to try them out.
looking them up!
RUclips gold, right here.
*Cue applause track.
💥🥇🏆💥
I like it. This is actually very helpful. When I find a good pair of trousers (I like the word ‘trou-ser’) which do all of the things I want them to do and maybe even fit properly, then I immediately go back to the store/website and buy as many duplicates as the wallet can spare. I wear these in rotation until all the favorites are in serious, entropic, motorcycle accident condition. Funny thing about buying in duplicates, when one pair fails the whole ship sinks. For example, my last pair of favorite jeans (I bought 3 pairs) and when the first pair started ripping open at the left knee, within a month the other two pairs started falling apart in the exact same spot. Multiple pants, same fate.
Trousers. Pants. Shopping. Measuring. Fitting. Testing. “Nope not these, maybe these?” What a headache. Finding the right golden sauce, ultimate balance between comfort, fit, functionality and price is always such a challenge, especially in the pants (*trousers) department.
Plugging these brands into eBay now, hold please...
😎👍👍
I like you so much that I would watch everything that you share :)
get this man a pair of flares haha
I wish you had compared which ones have longer legs.
Or which ones would actually be best for actually hiking in.
Do any of these come in straight fit? I hate slimmer pants for hiking because they don’t fit over the boot.
Man, dat thumbnail !

Hey Alex this icebreak persist suits on you very well... don't you see your own video and I am surprised it's not in your list. Even it is waterproof... it's up to you and this is the best one.... thanks for your review...
this guy loves tapering his pants. I cannot walk around with tight tapering when being active. Feels like someone is tugging and compressing at me at the bottom. But that's just my preference.
Your height?
I love my Lululemon ABC Pants. I can wear them at the office with a button down shirt and leather shoes, or wear them outside with a t-shirt and athletic shoes and they look great in both settings.
They are super comfortable as well! I can do a full squat in them and no ball crushing!
The downside to the ABC pants in my opinion is that there is a bit too much room in the seat which is odd since I have a muscular butt! I also wish the back was slightly higher cut for more coverage when bending over or squatting down. The fabric is also a bit too lightweight for hiking through dense brush. I would prefer something a bit thicker.
what about men with muscle
this video would make more sense if you wouldnt pinroll your pants. how should we know about the length
The reason these pants aren't tapered like a pair of hipster skinny jeans is because some people will be using these outdoors, over boots.
Can you please review some of the pants by #Cactusoutdoor I think they will be a good contender. I have some "CNC slim super trousers" by them and love em.

None of these spandex blend pants are good for long term use. I've used the Prana Stretch Zion & Outdoor Research Ferrosi Pants during thru hikes and they just don't last. The waist always stretches out way beyond what they're supposed to be. Granted thru hikes are extreme examples, but you'd be better off with full nylon pants.
Wow. You should get a lumberjack shirt with those skinny jeans...they would be super comfy at the cafe!
You should try Outlier Slim Dungarees. Best all purpose pants I've ever worn.
tried them.. wasn't a fan of the fit
