What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"I have been putting the Arch Rock Pant through hiking days and travel days in equal measure, and the recycled nylon stretch fabric handles both without looking like it was built exclusively for one or the other. The articulated legs give me a full range of motion on technical terrain, and the PFC-free DWR finish has shed light rain and trail splashes without soaking through on every trip I have taken them on."The trail runs out, and the restaurant is two blocks away, and the right pant handles both without asking you to change in the parking lot. The Marmot Arch Rock Pant was built for exactly that transition, pairing technical hiking performance with a clean everyday silhouette that works as naturally on the rocks as it does on the commuter train home. Marmot built the Arch Rock around a 95% recycled nylon and 5% elastane blend that is lightweight, quick-drying, and genuinely breathable on hard efforts in warm conditions. A PFC-free DWR finish on the outer shell repels water from surface fabric to keep you dry through trail splashes and light rain, and articulated legs deliver a full range of motion on steep terrain without bunching or pulling at the knees. Belt loops give the pants a structured, intentional look that holds up beyond the trailhead, and a zippered hand pocket keeps valuables secure on the move. At nine ounces, the Arch Rock Pant packs light enough to earn a permanent spot in your travel kit.
