DESCRIPTION
Designed for comfort and unconstrained movement, these multifunctional hiking pants from Patagonia are made of 96% NetPlus® - a postconsumer recycled nylon made from recycled fishing nets to help reduce ocean plastic pollution and 4% elastane plain weave. With a durable water repellent (DWR) finish made without perfluorinated chemicals (PFCs/PFAS) to shed light moisture, and 40+ UPF sun protection.
The Quandary Pants sit on the waist with a regular rise, not too loose and not too tight in the seat and thighs, and cut straight from the knee to the ankle. A curved waistband contours to the natural shape of the hips and provides a close fit to keep the pants in place during movement. With a zipper fly and a metal-button closure, and a drawcord that's customisable and can be internal or external for added adjustability and preference.
There are two front pockets - the left-front pocket has a built-in repair patch for fixes on the go and a reinforced hemostat/carabiner loop on the front-right pocket. Two back pockets - where the back-right pocket is zippered and there's one zippered pocket on the right-thigh. Added articulation behind the knees allows for a full range of motion, and a roll-up cord and a button fastener on each pant leg boosts versatility.

PROVENANCE AND ETHICS
Patagonia was founded by Yvon Chouinard in 1973, the company's roots are in clothing for rock and alpine climbing, but they now produce a diverse mix of apparel targeted towards skiers, snowboarders, surfers and climbers. Patagonia are a world leader in creating ethical, sustainable clothing.
NetPlus: To help reduce plastic pollution, Patagonia are finding new ways to turn previously discarded forms of plastic, like fishing nets, into clothes that can be worn for generations. Their partner Bureo collects and transforms these nets from local fishers off the coast of South America - which helps protect wildlife, provide fishing communities with extra income, and reduce reliance on fossil fuels used to make plastic.
Made without PFCs / PFAS: For decades, the coatings used in apparel to improve water-repellency have relied on per- or polyfluorinated chemicals, which contain fluorine. This class of forever chemicals accumulates in air, water, food, even our bodies, and they raise serious health concerns. Patagonia re moving away from PFCs, and now 92% of their materials with water-repellent chemistries are made without them - reducing their impact on the health of people and the planet.
Fair Trade: Patagonia now use more than 20 Fair Trade factories that specialise in the production of outdoor clothing, paying a premium for every Patagonia item that is made in a Fair Trade Certified™ factory. They actively encourage other brands that do business in those factories to join them in the Fair Trade movement, ensuring living wages within the supply chain.
