What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:"I’ve worn the Zendo Pants hiking, traveling, and even to the office. They’re light, breathable, and stretchy enough to scramble in, but still clean-cut enough to wear around town. The drawstring waistband is a win—way more comfortable than a belt."From early morning trailheads to late-night flights, we keep coming back to the Zendo Pants from Outdoor Research for their blend of performance and polish. These lightweight softshells feel just as good pulling through boulders as they do lounging by a riverside campfire or walking through airport terminals.Made with bluesign® approved, recycled nylon and just enough spandex, they’re breathable, quick-drying, and abrasion-resistant—perfect for everyday action. The elastic waistband with an external drawcord keeps the fit dialed, and tapered legs give them a sharp, modern profile. Whether we're moving fast or just moving comfortably, the Zendo’s movement-mirroring stretch, UPF 50+ protection, and versatile style make them a constant in our weekly rotation.
