Trailhead Adventure Pants Fit Guide
In this guide, I’ll be explaining the main differences in Coalatree’s Trailhead pants and explain why they’re a solid option for outdoor lovers when it comes to how they’re made (materials and impact on the planet) and how they fit.
To begin, it’s true: the most sustainable purchase one can make is none at all. But as someone who lives off-grid and backpacks the world on a small budget, I know that clothes can only take so much. When I’m in need of a new item, I’ve started purchasing a few more sustainably-made items a year that are durable from eco-minded companies rather than buying a handful of low-quality items that won’t last long.
It Matters What They’re Made Of
So here’s where I introduce to you the Trailhead Adventure Pants. Created by my friends at Coalatree, you can expect this pant to move with you whether you’re adventuring the Amazon rainforest or working to protect it. They’re great mountain to city pants, meaning that they’re not only good for hiking, biking, and climbing, but they’re also comfortable for running daytime errands.
The pants themselves are made from durable ripstop nylon, and you’ll be happy to know that they’re water resistant and stain-proof. They’re breathable in all climates – something that the average pant is usually lacking. They have great give with a 4-way stretch, and their deep pockets are a plus for everyone. And since adopting their signature coffee grounds material in 2015, they've been able to save thousands of plastic bottles and hundreds of cups of coffee from landfills.
Now when it’s time to choose which specific pant fit is best for you, it’s important to know a few differences between their “regular” and “slim” fit.
Trailhead Adventure Pants Regular Fit
Size M Regular Fit Trailhead Pants
The regular fit is the best choice for those who don’t like tight clothing. While the drawstring waist will be the same size for each pant, the regular fit offers more space around the thighs and legs. If you’re adventuring or working in cold conditions these are preferable because they offer space for layering leggings beneath.
Trailhead Adventure Pants Slim Fit
Size M Slim Fit Trailhead Pants
The slim fit is best for people who like just that: a slimmer fit. Still flexible and movable, these pants hug the body more than the regular fit. They offer less space beneath to layer but both pants come with a drawstring at the bottom so that you can hike them up when needed.
Men’s Vs Women’s Pants
If you look on their website, the Men’s and Women’s pants are exactly the same fit and design which come in soothing earth tones. Since the fabric is flexible, I’ve found that my partner and I who have completely different body types can share the same size pants.
Additionally, all of Coalatree’s gear is gender-neutral and shown off on their website by people with all types of bodies, helping you choose what best suits you. So the next time that you’re choosing adventure gear, I encourage you to invest with the planet and your happiness in mind.
