I’ve seen so many grey techy-looking mountaineering pants at this point I started to think they were all the same. What better way to say how hardcore you are than get pants that already come colored like duct tape? The problem is they usually fit like my dad's embarrasing running pants. I'm not that hardcore. Enter the Stio Environ. The fit is perfect for hiking and using at the resort without looking like I should be rando-racing, the vents are easy and sensible, and there is just enough stretch in the fabric to allow for dynamic motion—like getting your boots on in the morning.  To top it off they show almost no wear after a few months of use. Congratulations Grey Techy-Looking pant, you’re awesome again. [$350; stio.com] –Gavin Gibson, Warm Canned Beer Enthusiast
