FlashDry Men's Pants

Choose a pant fit

• Standard: consistent width from top to bottom
• Slim: tighter to the leg
• Relaxed or wider: fits loosely throughout the thighs, knees and calves

What material do you prefer?

• Synthetic
• Polyester: affordable, stretchy, doesn't wrinkle
• Nylon: durable, abrasion-resistant, less stretch
• Spandex: stretchy, moves easily, less breathable
• Natural fibers
• Cotton: durable, breathable, dries slowly
• Wool: stretchy, durable, odor-resistant, pricier
• Hemp: durable, renewable, can feel rougher

Consider additional features like:

• Moisture wicking: moves moisture (namely, sweat) to the outer surface while also drying quickly
• Pockets: help carry items you want to have accessible
• Sun-protective fabric: a higher UPF rating provides better sun protection
• Convertible: can be worn full-length or as shorts
• Insect repellent: pants treated with insect-repellent coatings can help keep pests off

Waterproof vs. water-resistant

• A waterproof jacket keeps out hard, driving rain
• A water-resistant jacket can handle light rain for a brief time and is more breathable

Windproof vs. wind-resistant

• Any waterproof jacket is also windproof to shield you in stormy weather
• A wind-resistant jacket will offer much lighter protection

Hard shell vs. soft shell

Like a waterproof and windproof rain jacket, a hard shell will offer the most protection, but less breathability than a soft shell.

Do you need insulation?
For very cold rainy weather, consider an insulated shell, which will have down or synthetic fill for warmth while being waterproof and windproof.

Proper care is key to performance

Every rain jacket or rain pant needs regular maintenance to keep on keeping you dry, so follow care instructions to keep yours lasting.
