Why you should own a crop pant: so you dont have to roll your pants up when things get a little wet (ahem, muddy spring trail runs). This crop is just like C2s performance tight, only 3/4 the length. Theyve tested these suckers kayaking, sailing, trail running, and even on the snow to ensure theyve got the right amount of coverage balanced with breathability. Made for transitioning into and out of spring and fall (and for winter for those athletes that work up a sweat in sub-zero temps).
