Triangle Adventure Racing Team

These pants from RailRiders are simply fantastic — they are my do everything pants. I’ve had a pair for over four years now, and they have been used to race across Florida three times (in the annual Florida Coast to Coast race), other adventure races and orienteering events including the 2003 National Championship Rogaine, to paint my Mom’s house, to clear the lot of the home we built, and to do lots of other yard work!

They are light weight, dry fast, and are incredibly tough. After everything they’ve been through, I only have a few minor snags on them. They are a bit covered in paint now, though. The paint looks like dried blood, so I do get some interesting stares! I highly recommend these to anyone that needs protection from the sun, bugs, and bushwhacking.

Note: I have a small frame — 5′8″ and 140 lbs. I typically wear a size 29 waist / 30 inseam. I had to get the woman’s small for these to f it comfortably.
