Quick Drying 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
