I bought my first pair of evolution pants about 2 years ago. As a test I wore them for 25 days straight without washing. No odor. I bought two pairs of evolution 2.0 (black and dune) and 3 pairs of western rise diversion (black, gray, and dune). Diversion are a little heavier wear a little more like a jean and are a little warmer for Midwest winters. So I wear those in winter months and evolution in fall / spring. If I’m traveling I only take evolution. Love these pants. They make up 100% of my pants other than a pair of joggers I own.
Very nice! I’ve been enjoying the Kathmandu flight pants for travel and going out, and HLT hike pants for work. Light, stretchy, no wrinkles and I can wash in sink and wear in the morning. Safe travels.
Thanks for another great video! I have a Western Rise Chino’s. I think it’s a good buy. Right amount of stretch, but the coarser weave makes for a toothy feel and also a little noisy (not excessively). Winkles from pack a pack packing came out easily w a little steam from an iron. I have a Ministry of Supply pants that I like a lot because it has a finer weave and a softer hand. I’d be interested in your take in comparing these Western Rise to Ministry of Supply. Thanks!
Thanks for your feedback, I also find they wrinkle a little in my pack but come out after I start wearing them. I haven't tried out Ministry of Supply yet but I think that would be a good comparison. Thanks!
They're lightweight and fairly breathable, I've been wearing them hiking in ~80F (27C) dry weather and they do great. But I think if the weather was more humid, like SE Asia they would be too warm.

Dang, I've never tried going that long! I haven't tried the Diversion yet, seems like a good cool weather option.

Do they make ‘swish’ sound when walking?
Light swish. They're synthetic so they swish more than cotton, but they have a soft texture so much less than many synthetic hiking pants.
How well do they fare in hot weather? would you say it’s as breathable as they claim?
They're lightweight and fairly breathable, I've been wearing them hiking in ~80F (27C) dry weather and they do great. But I think if the weather was more humid, like SE Asia they would be too warm.
Great video!
Thanks!
Looks pretty comfy
Do these work for guys with larger butts and thighs?
I have some pretty meaty thighs and they fit me fine. They're a more relaxed cut, not slim fit.
