CATEGORIESStill hiking in denim? Sure, jeans look hip, but hip-to-toe they restrict your range of motion and soak up sweat. Active Junky-approved legwear moves as you do, enabling longer days on happier, dryer legs.
Stroll from the lumberyard to the studio without ever changing your pants. The Radikl combines yoga-pant comfort—stretchy synthetic panels line the thigh’s edges, front and rear pockets, crotch and articulated knees—with a burly “exoskeleton” of woven cotton/synthetic blend fabric.
This may be the first thing that lumberjacks and yoga rats can agree on: these pants are truly Radikl.
Best For: Sun salutations, hard physical labor, hiking.
Belts and backpacks, longtime notorious adversaries, have finally made amends. The Stretch Zion Shorts integrate an unobtrusive front snap with a discreet cinch-belt, so your backpack’s hip belt can tighten without painful pinching and bunching. A gusseted, ventilated crotch cools you on hot days, while ample pocket space allows for well-stocked day hikes.
Eight color options provide easy on-trail camouflage, so you can scare the sweat-soaked pants off your overheated companions.
Convertible and full pant models also available.
Best For: Hot weather hiking, city slicking, bunch-free backpacking.
The sun bursts through the clouds and: zip, zip, ahh! A theme song for happy calves. Quick-dry fabric wicks sweat and high UPF ratings keep your legs protected from the sun on blistering days.
We know. Zip-offs were hip in the 90’s. But when it comes to cutting ounces, nothing beats two-in-ones, and Silver Ridge leads the pack in comfort, durability, weight and value. Ounce-shedding, minimalist design means a slightly slimmer fit, so volume-hungry pocket-lovers look elsewhere.
The 90’s were weird, but zip-offs are still a thing. Accept it.
Best For: Function-hounds, ounce-counters, fashion gurus.
