Backcountry Slickrock Pant - Men's

Slickrock Pant delivers pedal-friendly stretch, weather resistance, and secure fit for year-round trail riding

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:
"I wear these when temps drop or the trail's a little rowdythey're super mobile, breathable, and tough without feeling overbuilt. The tapered leg is perfect with pads and doesn't snag the crank."

When cooler temps roll in or the terrain demands a little more coverage, we reach for the Backcountry Slickrock Pant. Built with the same performance DNA as our Slickrock Shorts, these pants are designed to pedal, move, and protect with comfort across changing seasons and trail conditions.

The 4-way stretch fabric flexes with every climb, corner, and descent, while the DWR coating sheds light rain and trail spray. Articulated knees pair perfectly with pads, and the tapered leg keeps our cuffs clean and out of the drivetrain. Adjustable waist tabs let us dial in the fit, and zippered pockets keep snacks and tools locked down when the trail gets rowdy. Whether we're riding high desert slickrock or alpine singletrack, these pants are ready to go full season.
