I tested the Kragg Cotton Pant M during summer conditions, including a full ascent of Wedge Mountain, and they performed excellently. The material is more durable than it feels or appears. During the climb, I frequently brushed against rocks, yet the pants showed no signs of damage. The fit was slightly large in the waist for me, even though I selected the smallest available size, so I used a belt for a secure fit. One design aspect that could be improved is the placement of the side pocket. On this model, it sits directly under the knee. Carrying bulky or heavy items, such as house keys, made walking uncomfortable. Relocating this pocket higher or lower would help avoid interference during movement. Overall, these pants are an excellent choice for routes involving rock scrambling. They stretch well, offer great durability, and have proven reliable in rough terrain. However, because they are made of cotton, they can absorb a lot of moisture and take a long time to dry, so weather conditions should be considered before wearing them in the mountains. I would recommend trying them for climbing activities, where their stretch and abrasion resistance are most beneficial.
This will be my new first choice pants for everyday usage. They're heavier than the Gamma SL (i also own), but at the end the fabric is more breathable and fresh to the skin. The comfort is top notch, they fit relaxed on waist (unlike the Gamma SL) and not tight on inseam, without being too fluffy (i'm 6.2'', 195 lb). The tight pocket is very useful to put your smartphone in a firm way while trekking, also a 6.6''. The other pockets are a little small, but do their job. The look is quite stylish, but sporty when necessary. The only doubt is the overall durability, but judging on the double seams i'll bet it will be great. Highly recommended!
One of my favorite pants!! I use this pants for indoor climbing and daily wear. I love the materials is cotton mixed and feels great. I am 5'9" and 175lbs and wear 32S size. Side pocket feature is a great add on.
This style of pants are much bigger than the Gamma and Levon style pants. So very large and baggy around the buttocks, not as good fitting as the Levon style pants.
Like another reviewer pointed out, the flap over the fly/ziper doesn’t sit flush. If you look at the model wearing the pant in the product photos, you can see the issue. One will feel that the fly is going to unzip which can be embarassing.
Not bad, but not great either. Really thin material, and lots of taper on the leg, the openings around the ankle are really small. I was hoping for something that fit more like the Cronin pant, the images look like it has a more relaxed fit. They fit pretty close to an older pair of Gamma LT's I have, but with less volume in the leg below the knee. Hoping they're durable, but they definitely don't feel like they'll take climbing abuse. I wish the material was heavier(robust) and the fit was more relaxed, would be 10/10 if this was the case.
Not much since i bought them, but pretty much one of my favourite pants for sure. Been wearing them since in different occasions - commuting, cycling, going to work, driving and traveling and they do everything greatly. Fabric doesn't need ironing, the pants get back to shape quickly. I even don't mind that they could be a bit longer since i'm 195 cm (and there was no Tall option in the store), they fit perfectly.
These pants are overall nice. Comfortable, light, durable. They have two annoying flaws. First, the fabric over the fly doesn’t sit flush. You can actually see it in the product photos. It’s pretty annoying, it always looks like your fly is coming just undone. If you don’t tuck in your shirt then it’s not a problem. I also wish the inseam didn’t rise as high up as it does, could use a bit more room.
Had these for about 2 weeks and they are super stylish and comfy. They fit well, and the material allows ample room for movement without bunching. This is my second pair as I wanted a darker colour other than Void. Haven't gone wild in them yet but they with stand the cats claws well
Best pants i've found in a while, I was wearing Nike city pants which were discontinued, then switched to lululemon but those things rip like crazy. these pants are vastly superior, with great pockets, i travel a lot and the zippered pocket is perfect for those hotel room card keys.
