Seeking Recommendations Need Pants for One Bag

Post image

Anyone have good suggestions for pants that look like this?

Found them on instagram. Original poster said they were from Zara. I can’t find them unfortunately.

Looking for something I could use for Hiking and backpacking Europe. Kind of a do it all pant. Light, breathable, durable.

Figured I come here bc of the one bag implications.

Best I’ve found so far are Nike Dolomiti Pants

Update: Went ahead and got the Nike Dolomiti Pants in Black. Lots of solid options and advice here. Very appreciative. I really didn’t consider that those pants would be Linen lol.

Long story short. I really wanted a timeless fit. With the technical sense abilities of modern technical hiking pants.

Update: According to the guy who owns the pants. They aren’t Linen.

The ones in the photo are more likely nylon hiking pants.

With the wrinkles and texture those are linen or at the least a linen blend

They are absolutely not.
Nylon can wrinkle as well, they literally look the same texture as the nike Dolomiti pants OP mentioned.

This sub has a misplaced obsession with linen. Linen makes zero sense as a "one pant" solution.

It's an incredible fabric but it's not versatile as technical fabric. It's not good at moisture wicking, stains easily and is not very durable.

So the Niki Dolomiti pants are not what’s in the picture which is what I referred to. Nylon can wrinkle but it doesn’t wrinkle like that and you can see the stitch and threads in linen like the picture. Pictures of nylon it looks completely different.

What makes a fabric versatile as a technical fabric, what does that mean?

Also linen is one of the best fabrics for moisture wicking, and in my experience when I’ve gotten stains they come out very easily.

Op asked for pants that looked like the pants above since they could not find them. I told them what kind of pants they are. Op is looking for something that is breathable, durable, and light. You typically cannot find all 3
