These ultralight Polartec Alpha Direct pants can do just about anything. Camp Pants? CHECK. Joggers? CHECK. Base layer? CHECK. Loungewear? CHECK. Hiking pants? CHECK. Pajamas? Why not? Crazy cozy, breathable, ultralight, hydrophobic and compressible. Available in two fabric weights: The 60 gsm for the minimalist and hardcore gram counter, and the 120 gsm for the ultralighter that needs more warmth and insulation. Both thicknesses feature a spandex waist band with elastic drawstring, two oversized front pockets, a crotch gusset for better range of motion, and spandex ankle cuffs. 

 

A medium in the 60 gsm weighs a feathery 4.25 ounces. A medium in the 120 gsm weighs 8 ounces. Add or subtract about 1/4 ounce for each size bigger or smaller. 

 

Hand-made to order in Bend, Oregon. 

 

See sizing in product photos. The inseam length will be to order so just tell me what you want in the "inseam" box.  If you dont fit neatly into a standard size, pick the closest and in the "notes" on the order page, tell me your actual measurements and I will customize these for you. Reach out if you need help. 

 

We really like these pants in the 60 gsm for the most compact and light, but still full-featered option. This weight is best as a base layer or camp pants. The fabric is a little sheer in this weight so.... underwear or overwear required in public.

 

The 120gsm is just crazy warm and cozy. These are as thick or thicker than any fleece joggers, but lighter, more breathable and compressible. We like this thickness for winter and shoulder season camping,  joggers, and loungewear.
