Lightweight, Stretchy, Reinforced Pants

[daiello91]

I know pants have been talked about plenty, but I have some specifics I’m looking for.

I really like my BRUNT Costello Tech pant.

Super light, breathable, stretchy, deep pockets. With that said, I’d like something with reinforced knees (and/or removable knee pads), and reinforced butt.

The GOHUNT pant seems to meet those criteria but they don’t have my size in stock.

I actually prefer brown/solid colors over camo. I’ve tried 5.11 pants. I’ve tried the KUIU Attack pant.

Preferably under $100 per pant.

Lots of boxes to tick especially with the target price point. Have you given the Eddie Bauer Guide Pro pants a run? They're offered in a bunch of solid colors. They won't address the reinforced knees or rear seat requirement but tick some of the other boxes. They do clear the price bar if that's a firm requirement.

Blows past the price point, but I've been wearing Fjallraven Kebs and Viddas the last few seasons. I prefer them to the Attacks (although the pocket configuration still leaves me scratching my head sometimes). I'll bring the Bauers out when I'm not expecting to bust through brushy stuff during the summer.

Fjallraven Keb are pretty good when temps are consistently below 50*. They are holding up well after two seasons of hard use. However the reinforced areas, particularly the knees and lower legs can get hot. I’m interested in finding a similar pant to what you’re looking for.

I like the Eddie Bauer guide pro pants mentioned above, but they are not too durable. Extremely comfortable and good water resistance though. For something reinforced, check out Truewerk. They have some similar to the Brunt pants you shared.

I’m a big fan of the 5.11 ABR Pro Pants and similar ones for everyday wear.

LL Bean Cresta pants fit most everything except the reinforced knees. Im a big fan and have several pairs of them that are lightweight and also their fleece lined ones
