Men's "Joshua Tree" Long Trail Pants

Your legs finally get airflow

Named for the national park spanning San Bernardino and Riverside counties in Southern California, these are our flagship hot-weather field pants: built for desert sun, granite slabs, and long days on your feet when shorts stop making sense. A relaxed, boot-friendly cut and natural fibers create room for air to move instead of trapping heat.

Features & Fit

Joshua Tree - Women's Breathable Hemp Trail Pants in Olivine (Green) (close up)
  • Loose fit that runs cooler than nylon or denim: Relaxed straight leg with boot-compatible openings creates natural cooling channels, keeping you roughly 3-8°F cooler than typical nylon hiking pants and breathing up to 4x better than jeans.
  • Built for extreme heat and movement: Above 90°F, the open, breathable weave delivers 30-40% more airflow than nylon, while a gusseted crotch adds mobility for scrambling and long strides without thinning high-stress seams.
  • Natural sun defense & freshness: Dense, chemical-free fabric delivers UV protection that never washes out, and hemp’s natural antimicrobial properties help reduce odor so you can wear them comfortably 2–3 times longer between washes.
  • Intended use: Hot-weather hiking, scrambling, guiding, and everyday wear in both arid and humid conditions
  • Fit: Men’s relaxed straight fit; easy through the seat and thigh without feeling baggy; mid-rise for comfort under packs and hip belts
  • Leg opening: Boot-friendly opening designed to sit cleanly over hiking boots or sturdy shoes
  • Waistband: Features both internal drawcord for a secure, adjustable fit as well as belt loops to accommodate your favorite belt
  • Pockets: Deep front hand pockets and buttoned back pockets

Before You Buy

  • How is the durability? Pretty darn good. The Joshua Tree pants are 100% woven hemp, which is inherently tougher than knit fabrics, and we've reinforced the seams and high-abrasion areas based on extensive prototype testing. Hemp has roughly double the tensile strength of linen, and unlike synthetic hiking pants, it doesn't degrade from UV exposure or develop that permanent synthetic smell over time. It resists pilling well, though it's not immune to it. A sharp rock on a scramble can still snag and tear the fabric (that's true of any pant, synthetic or otherwise). And when something does eventually give, natural fibers are far easier to repair than synthetics.

  • How should I choose sizing? We use letter sizing (e.g., S, M, L) with an internal elastic waistband, so there's some forgiveness in the fit and you don't need to nail an exact waist measurement. The trade-off is length. If you're on the shorter side of the size range, the pants may run long. Our honest recommendation is to take them to your local tailor and get them hemmed, which should cost about $10-$15. We know that's an extra step, and we wish we could offer every waist-length combination. But keeping our sizing simple lets us keep production costs lower instead of adding an extra $40 to the price to support dozens of different size variants.
