Introduction
The shorts version of "Basic Hike Pants" is now available. The brand owner Yusuke Kurosawa san think these shorts will make you feel comfortable. He aimed for a slightly slim silhouette with nylon material of Zion stretch, but the hips and hem are designed to sufficiently cover the amount of exercise.
Material
Nylon fabric with cotton-like washer processing is used. Washer processing is one of the processing methods for giving unique texture and softness to woven and knitted fabrics. This process involves pre-dyeing the fibers, washing the fabric in a special way, and using unique techniques in the finishing process. The washer process softens the fabric, improves its texture, and makes it wrinkle-resistant.
The following advantages are created by applying washer processing.
Increased comfort: The fabric is soft and pleasant to the touch, making it comfortable to wear.
Anti-wrinkle: The surface of the fabric is softened, making it less likely to wrinkle.
Improved water absorption and breathability: The fiber structure becomes fluffy due to the processing, which improves water absorption and breathability. This will keep you comfortable even in hot weather.
Water repellent, windproof, and UV cut functions are applied.
Design
Yusuke Kurosawa san designed these pants with a basic silhouette that you can wear for a long time without getting bored.
The hip part has a tapered design silhouette that naturally tapers to the hem.
The waist opening has a built-in flat rubber and nylon tape belt. There is no front opening (zipper opening) in the front crotch area, but the waist part spreads out easily, so it is easy to put on and take off. Squeeze the waist tape and adjust it to your preferred waist size.
As with the waist tape, Yusuke Kurosawa san particularly cared about the tape adjuster. He ordered various types and sizes of parts from Japan and overseas, and match them with the tape. He also putted a gusset in the crotch. Supplements the amount of exercise during leg-spreading and raising exercises. There is also a side slit in the hem, so the hem opens slightly.
These pants have a total of 5 pockets. There is a side pocket on the left side of the pants and a back pocket with a flap. The right side of the pants has a side pocket, a side seam zipper pocket and a flap zipper pocket. The side pocket opening is designed with a sharp angle to prevent things from falling out after putting things in rather than making it easy to put your hand in. The cloth of the pocket is also set deep for the same reason. The side seam zipper pocket is sized to fit a standard smartphone. In addition to your smartphone, please store your mobile items such as keys that you do not want to drop.
*Side seam pocket size XXS, XS=12cm S, M, L=14cm
Deep Rise
One of the features is that the rise is designed deeply. If the rise is shallow, you may be a little worried that your waist will appear when you bend down, but this is resolved by setting the rise deeper. It is ideal to wear the pants so that they are properly caught on the protrusion of the hipbone, but it is also possible to adjust the length of the pants slightly by raising or lowering the waist position according to your preference.
