  • Dries out in minutes following sweat buildup or creek crossings
  • Streamlined leg taper prevents material rustling on stalks
  • Low-bulk mechanical stretch eliminates binding without added weight
  • Open micro-weave fabric snags easily in dense briars and thorns
  • Provides virtually no wind resistance when ambient temperatures drop
  • Water-repellent finish wears off quickly under pack-belt friction

Men's Trace Pant

  • Superb breathability that dumps heat efficiently in extreme humidity
  • Whisper-quiet face fabric ideal for close-range archery stalks
  • Featherlight construction packs down to the size of a water bottle
  • Athletic articulation allows unrestricted mobility on steep ascents
  • Open-weave fabric snags easily in severe briars and dense thorns
