Vertical zippers from bottom hem to mid-thigh allow for more ventilation and also let you remove pant legs without removing your shoes or boots. UPF 50+ fabric shields against harmful UV rays. Full elastic back waistband allows you to move freely and comfortably. Loaded with 6 pockets for essentials, including front hand pockets, back pockets and cargo pockets (1 zippered).
