Men's Flinders Pants - Black
Getting your item
Durable, stretchy hiking pants made with UPF 50+ fabric.
Our Flinders hiking pants have been a fan favourite for years. The four-way stretch means rock scrambling or jumps across streams are no big deal, while the UPF 50+ fabric helps shield you from the sun's rays. They're lightweight, comfy, and feature a classic fit.

Reviews
Old Favourites
"I've bought these before and love the fit and how long they last. The only down side is the pocket depth seems to have reduced - not sure why."
Useless Small sized pockets, BEWARE!
"Small sized pockets, why change something when it wasn’t necessary. Fire the designer who decided to change it. Avoid this!"
shallow pockets
"Why did you make the pockets so small? Anything you put in them just bulges out."
Great outdoor pants
"I can wear these on the plane or all day out hiking. Super comfortable"
Nice materials, not great design
"The materials and weight of these are great. But unfortunately the stitching in double lining of the knee rubs hard on the skin. It was too uncomfortable and caused immediate chafing. Not for me but maybe other people do not have this problem."
Very shallow pockets!
"This is an updated version of the original Flinders pants. The original came in alphabetical sizes, but this version comes in numerical sizes. Size 36 fits me perfectly. However, I noticed that the side pockets with zips are shallower. My phone and transport card nearly slipped out. Can you imagine losing these items? VERDICT: I DON'T LIKE IT."
My husband’s favourite pants!
"My husband has been wearing these pants for a few years now. His collection has grown and now wears nothing but these pants, whether his hiking or travelling. They’re dry quickly, are water repellent and look good whether you on the trails in Nepal or walking the streets of Paris."
I bought another pair.
"Great pants, I liked them so much that I went back and bought another pair."
