Introduction

The shorts version of "Basic Hike Pants" is now available.
One of these for the summer. I think these shorts will make you feel comfortable.
I aimed for a slightly slim silhouette with nylon material of Zion stretch, but the hips and hem are designed to sufficiently cover the amount of exercise.

Materials

Nylon fabric with cotton-like washer processing is used. Water repellent, windproof, and UV cut functions are applied.

Washer processing is one of the processing methods for giving unique texture and softness to woven and knitted fabrics. This process involves pre-dyeing the fibers, washing the fabric in a special way, and using unique techniques in the finishing process. The washer process softens the fabric, improves its texture, and makes it wrinkle-resistant.

The following advantages are created by applying washer processing.

Increased comfort: The fabric is soft and pleasant to the touch, making it comfortable to wear.

Anti-wrinkle: The surface of the fabric is softened, making it less likely to wrinkle.

Improved water absorption and breathability: The fiber structure becomes fluffy due to the processing, which improves water absorption and breathability. This will keep you comfortable even in hot weather.

Design

There is a gusset in the crotch.

Supplements the amount of exercise during leg-spreading and raising exercises.
There is also a side slit in the hem, so the hem opens slightly.

These pants have a total of 5 pockets.
There is a side pocket on the left side of the pants and a back pocket with a flap.

The right side of the pants has a side pocket, a side seam zipper pocket and a flap zipper pocket.

The side pocket opening is designed with a sharp angle to prevent things from falling out after putting things in rather than making it easy to put your hand in. The bag cloth of the pocket is also set deep for the same reason.

One of the features is that the rise is designed deeply. If the rise is shallow, you may be a little worried that your waist will appear when you bend down, but this is resolved by setting the rise deeper. It is ideal to wear the pants so that they are properly caught on the protrusion of the hipbone, but it is also possible to adjust the length of the pants slightly by raising or lowering the waist position according to your preference.
