Backcountry Wasatch Ripstop Pant - Men's

Durable Wasatch Ripstop Pant built for all-day hikes and everyday wear

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"I’ve worn these for long hikes, travel days, and around town, and they handle all of it well. The ripstop fabric feels tough without being stiff, and the stretch makes moving easy on uneven terrain. The elastic waist and belt combo keeps the fit comfortable all day."

We pull on the Wasatch Ripstop Pant when the day starts on trail and doesn’t end there. Built by Backcountry for hikes, travel, and everyday wear, this pant balances durability and comfort so we can keep moving without needing to change layers. From early morning trail miles to afternoon errands, it stays comfortable and functional throughout the day.

The recycled ripstop fabric blends nylon and spandex to deliver stretch, breathability, and abrasion resistance where it matters most. An integrated belt and elastic waist provide a secure, adjustable fit, while articulated knees and a gusseted crotch allow natural movement on climbs and descents. Zippered thigh and rear pockets keep essentials secure, and a water-resistant finish helps shed light moisture when conditions shift.

Wastach Ripstop Family

Made For Where The Trail Ends

Recycled stretch ripstop built for uneven ground, changing plans, and all the miles in between

Inside The Wasatch Ripstop

Stretch Ripstop Fabric

Built to move and built to last, the Wasatch Ripstop blend solves the trade-off between tough and comfortable so these bottoms keep up without slowing you down.

Water-Resistant Finish

The DWR finish sheds moisture so the fabric stays dry when conditions shift. It's also PFC-free, meaning the protection comes without the harmful chemicals typically found in older water-resistant treatments.

Built Responsibly

Every Wasatch Ripstop style uses 61% recycled nylon and carries OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certification, independently tested against more than 100 harmful substances so the gear is as safe to wear as it is to make.

Integrated Belt

A secure waist means one less adjustment, keeping the fit exactly where you set it so the trail gets your full attention.

Ankle Cinch

The shockcord cuff cinches the hem down around the ankle so fabric stays tucked and out of the way, whether you're crossing a creek or trekking through brush.

Thoughtful Details

The built-in locker loop earns its place on every adventure, whether hanging at camp, clipping to a pack, or airing out after a wet day on the trail.

Zippered Thigh Pocket

Stash a snack, pocket some trail finds, or keep small gear within reach. The zippered pocket stays shut on the descent so nothing gets left behind.
