We like wearing the Helly Hansen Men's Brono Softshell Pant on backpacking treks, day hikes, and summer mountaineering trips. The fabric is light, stretchy, and so packable that the pant can pack into its own pocket for compact storage in our backpacks. Helly Hansen fitted it with articulated knees and a gusseted crotch so we can hike comfortably. The fabric's also wind- and water-resistant to protect from brisk breezes and light rainshowers.
