What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"I wore these on a few warm spring hikes where the weather kept changing. The stretch fabric moves really well on steep sections, and I like being able to roll the hems up when things warm up. The zip pocket on the thigh is also great for keeping a phone secure while moving."Trail days tend to stretch longer than expected, and that's exactly where the The North Face Exploration Pant shines. Built for hikes that start at the trailhead and keep going past scenic overlooks and river crossings, these pants offer lightweight comfort and reliable mobility for full days outside. The North Face uses a durable, recycled nylon stretch fabric that moves naturally while staying light and breathable. Articulated knees help the pants flex easily on steep climbs or rocky sections, while a non-PFC durable water-repellent finish sheds light rain and trail splashes. A roll-up, snap-secure hem adds quick ventilation when temperatures climb, and multiple pockets-including a secure-zip thigh pocket-keep small essentials close on the trail.
