Overview:

Our Karst Pants are abrasion-proof technical trousers that look and feel practical, not tactical. They're made for trekking through thick underbrush, scrambling on rock, and the most demanding outdoor work. Rather than waterproofing, the Karst is designed for high activity where breathability is essential.

  • Built to be tough, stretchy, and breathable
  • Backed by a lifetime warranty & repair program
  • Ethically made with our recycled 13.7oz Karst fabric

Covered under our Fair Deal Guarantee.

Durable & Breathable Fabric

Our Karst fabric is 90% 13.7oz 1000D nylon with four-way stretch and 10% spandex. The fabric has a tough, yet comfortable hand-feel and feels surprisingly pleasant to wear. Spandex allows for a full range of motion. 

Timeless Fit & Style

Unlike most utility pants, the Karst actually fits well and looks good. It easily flies under the tactical radar while boasting a huge amount of tough utility. It runs the same base fit as the Flex Canvas with just a bit more room.

Secure, Subtle, & Functional Pockets

Nine tactical pockets are subtly integrated for maximal function and minimal headache.

Mesh Interior Liner

Wicking and super soft, our unique mesh liner reduces sweat and is ridiculously comfortable on your important parts.

Drawstring Cuff Closure

A cinching pull-tab cuff lets you decide how tightly your pant hugs your boot.

Diamond Gusset & Articulated Knees

Make movement a priority.

Security & Reinforcement

YKK lockdown zippers keep your mind on the trail - not on losing your stuff - while double layer fabric strengthens common stress points.

Great

Great fit! Seems super durable with a good amount of stretch, but I'm waiting for cooler weather to test them out. Note that these are heavy if you plan to use them for backpacking or sports where weight is a concern.

Heavy duty but flexible

Heavy pants but still easy to move in them. Good for winter and great pockets as always!

Karst Pant

Heavy duty fabric but very breathable. Excellent fit in a 32x32. Using these as dual sport/adventure riding Moto pants with Bowtex Elite pants under them for additional abrasion/impact protection.

Wish I could wear them every day

After owning five pairs of flex canvas, I bought a pair of Karst, actually own two now. One pair I use strictly for outdoor dirty activities, the second I keep clean for just wearing around town and lounging. I love how they are pretty heavy and thick, I feel just as comfortable relaxing on my sofa wearing socks as I do hiking around the back and side-country.

I love having side vents just like my winter gear and I find the additional front pockets very convenient for smaller items. The large side leg pockets are great for my phone, Leatherman or bag of dog treats. I have not found use for the elastic ankle cinches but I could see how they could be used while bushwhacking with tall boots.

When I first got them I took them out for a hike in a late season snowstorm, about a foot on the ground. I was quite impressed with how the snow simply shook off of them and did not saturate the material at all. I can see myself using them next winter a lot as I live in snow country.

I do think it is important to care for these pants and a particular way, I wash cold followed by stretching out the legs and air drying. This technique has kept them at basically the same length prior to my first wash. If you can size up you could probably get away with using a dryer on low temp however unfortunately for me sizing up was way too long.

Definitely recommend these pants for really anything: laying on the couch, looking cool or get after it in nature.

Went with 32x32 (could use 33”L)

Excellent Travel Pant

Love these pants. Plenty of zip pockets make them ideal for travel. Fabric quality and strength make them ideal for trekking. If you travel internationally to hike, and trek, these are for you! Cons: if you're a backpacker, these are fairly heavy pants, similar to jeans, so if you're keeping it light, either wear them to the airport, or take a lighter pair of Livsn pants
