What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying: "I ride in these when I want more coverage without overheating. They stretch incredibly well, breathe on climbs, and hold up to crashes and brush. The fit works nicely with light knee pads, and the tapered leg keeps things clear of the drivetrain." When the trail gets rough or the air turns crisp, the Dirt Craft Pants are the ones we pull on without hesitation. Designed by Patagonia for real trail riding, they strike a balance between protection, breathability, and mobility that keeps us comfortable from the first climb to the last descent. Whether we’re spinning after work or heading out for a full-day mission, these pants feel purpose-built for the ride. The recycled polyester fabric blended with XLANCE fibers delivers impressive stretch without sacrificing durability, letting us move freely through technical terrain. A PFC-free DWR finish helps shed dirt, mud, and light moisture, while the regular fit leaves room for lightweight knee guards. Finished with a tapered leg to avoid chain snags, these pants are built to handle season-long abuse while staying comfortable mile after mile.
