Made from bikejersey, cut is self designed, adapted from a pleated pants pattern I got from Etsy. Quite comfortable due to the super stretchy fabric. Let's see how it holds up on the trail 😎

Looks amazing! What fabric did you use and do you maybe have a link (in case you bought it online)?

Your rain jacket from another post looks great as well! I have great respect for sewing outdoor clothing as the materials seem to be more expensive and harder to work with.

Hey, I'm currently traveling (testing the new hiking pants on a 2 week trekking tour) and have bad reception here, otherwise I'd find the link for you. The fabric is from extremtextil.de, search for bike jersey. It came quite cheap at 14€/m. But it was a challenge to work with. You have to be very careful when laying out the fabric for cutting, as it easily stretches even when just lying on the table (and then you've cut the wrong size πŸ˜΅β€πŸ’«)

These are cool! To a point where I’m going to offer some mild critique because I want to see/know more about them. Maybe in the future tuck your shirt in to show the full structure of the pants? Or something similar. I feel like for more technical hiking/climbing pants, I really care more about how the waist fits, seam placement, and what kind of closures are present. Just a thought for next time. These look cool. I dig the colors and the general cut of the legs looks good, thought I’d definitely be cuffing them in the climbing gym 😊

Thanks for the feedback, will do next time.

The have elastic cords at the bottom to pull them tight, also allows cuffing them up and fixing them there.

The cut on top is from a pleated trousers set I made the week before. I liked it quite well SO I just reused and adapted it here. The super stretch fabric makes it super comfy, as it simply adjusts in ways other clothes don't :)
