What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"These pants are super soft, but made to move. The gusseted crotch and articulated knees let me climb and scramble without any restriction, and I love the adjustable cuffs for dialing in the fit on the fly."The Beta Utility Pant brings technical trail features into a comfortable everyday silhouette. The North Face designed these pants with a durable stretch-cotton fabric that's soft to the touch but built tough for rock approaches, canyon hikes, and hands-on exploration. Articulated knees and a gusseted crotch give us the freedom we need to scramble boulders or kick steps up steep trails, while a gear loop on the back waistband nods to its climbing roots. With sustainable cotton construction, adjustable cuffs, and zippered back pockets, these pants are the go-anywhere utility essential we reach for again and again.
