Sometimes you find gear that just plain rocks and is also from a great company. Roscoe Outdoor is one of those companies. I ran across Roscoe Outdoor first when I was on a trip to Moab. I picked up a pair of their Great Northern shorts. Ever since I got those shorts, I have not stopped wearing them. They are super comfy, lightweight and quick drying. I have been mountain biking, hiking and climbing in them. Not to mention, they can be worn for casual wear and no one would blink an eye. Oh and the comfort… damn they are like pajamas.
Now that fall has hit the mountains with a vengeance I needed a new pair of hiking drawls. I checked out the Roscoe site and saw they had some pants too. Obviously I ordered a pair of their Washakie pants. The standard inseam was long for me so I asked if they made them in other lengths . They did not but they hooked me up by hemming their standard size for me. How rad is that?
They have some pretty awesome features. For instance you can roll the pants legs up to reveal a reflective stripe, with built in adjusters to keep them tight.
The adjustment to tighten the cuffs is completely unobtrusive. I never noticed that the pants had this feature until I rolled them up one day.
They have a double front and double backside increasing durability making them great for climbing or mountain biking. Plus the double front makes them warmer on those cold days.
The Washakie features a built in webbing belt.
The front, side and back pockets all have zippers to keep your odds and ends from falling out.
So besides the fact that these are quick drying, breathable tough pants they are also buttery soft and comfy. I could wear these as PJs.
If you need some pants for riding, hiking or climbing look no further than the Roscoe Washakie pants. The only problem you might have is that they are so comfy you won’t want to get dirty on the trails !
