The best lightweight hiking pants! - Montane Terra Pack Pants - Mens

First, these are crazy light. I have the medium, regular length and they weigh roughly 9.8ozs. (which I'm 6'1 and have roughly a 30 inch waist and these were the best fit.. the waist band is somewhat elastic, and there's a belt for added tightening if needed. Huge zip pocket on the one leg above the knee. Great for all kinds of small gear or your wallet. Two hip pockets with a secret inner zip pocket on one side. Perfect for keys or money. Zip pocket on back butt .. these dry extremely fast if wet and are extremely durable.. I've hiked hundreds of miles through desert, and mountains on the pacific crest trail in these, taken falls, brushed up against manzanita trees, and these still have no tears or signs of ware. I've owned my first pair now for 3 years and they have been amazing! The fact they have so many built in pockets and adjustments (there's also buttons on the bottom of the pant legs if you wish to tightening those closed) make them my go to pants for all my outdoor adventures! They are a little pricey but if you wait for sales and use your coupons, you should be able to get these for 65 to 75 dollars. Not bad considering how much use you'll get out of them!
