My Travel Gear: Lightweight Travel Pants

Lightweight Travel Pants

If you’re looking for a great pair of travel pants, look no further. The Blackhawk Lightweight Tactical Pants are my favorite. They are tough, comfortable, good looking, lightweight, fast drying, and have tons of secure pockets. There are 4 different zippered pockets! There is a zippered wallet pocket on your butt that is designed to keep the wallet riding high, so it’s comfortable to sit down.

There is a huge full length hidden zippered pocket behind your right side pocket. This isn’t some skimply little pocket that doesn’t have enough room to hold anything, it’s big. There are also 2 zippered pockets on top of the normal cargo ones. The regular cargo pockets have a partitioned elastic band inside, to keep things from floating around. Perfect to clip a small flashlight or pen to. I like to stay organized. :)

Pickpockets will have a tough time with these, and there are plenty of places to hide some cash. Tough as hell, and practically waterproof. I’ve used them as snowboarding pants with long underwear underneath, and had zero problems. I also got SOAKED once from the splash of a bus as it drove by me in the rain, and my pants were dry after only 10 minutes of walking around in them!

Another great feature is the hidden 2 inch elastic waistband that doesn’t actually look like one. I hate the look of travel pants with elastic waistbands, even if they do happen to let you move around easier. These pants have the best of both worlds!

They are relatively “normal” looking too, the extra large back pockets (perfect for a map or moleskin notebook) are the only things that make them stand out a bit. All you need to do is give em’ a good roll in the dirt for that true “vagabond” look.
