I’ve favoured unlined nylon pants for years.

There are many available these days, but I’ve found none better than those sold by the truckload at Mountain Equipment Co-op in Canada. (C$33)

I could live without the Velcro closure at the cuff, but otherwise they are perfect. Throw them in a day pack and they emerge without a wrinkle.

The polyester used in the Breeze Pants is now made from recycled materials. Let your conscience run free!

These affordable and lightweight wind pants are well-suited for trail running. The calf-length zipper makes it easy to pull these pants on and off over shoes. The polyester fabric has a soft drape and is less noisy than other fabrics – no more ‘swishing’ when you run. The fit is slim and articulated, with enough room for a pair of tights or long underwear underneath.
