RailRiders Backcountry Khakis
Very lightweight, excellent aesthetic (actually looks like something I'd wear to the office!), well designed pockets. Best for hiking or going on the town. Highly recommended for those who want quick drying hiking pants that can transition easily to other more formal ventures.
Pros
- Good fit, true to size
- Professional looking
- Pockets are deep
- Normal belt loops
- Very tough
Cons
- A tad expensive
- All nylon, sparks from campfire could cause issues
I purchased these to use on an upcoming several day trip. Overall, the fit and finish on these pants is excellent. Further, they're light, hang well, have normal belt loops (as opposed to the really thick ones on some hiking pants), and have well designed (deep enough) pockets.
The nylon should be quick drying and quite durable. In short, very happy with the purchase and company.

The choice for every adventure you can imagine.
Pros
- Strength of fabric
- Classical style
- Looks great in every environment
Cons
- Finding a reason to replace them
There are very few products that can so easily move from the trail to the street as well as these pants. I have taken mine, literally, from numerous backwater places all over the world.....then jumped onto a train, cab, or plane and was still considered respectable in every environment.
With all of the benefits of style, quick-drying, tough-as-nails and proper fit..the choice for the ONE (or two) pair of pants for any and every adventure is so, so simple.
