Our Verdict
Patagonia's Altvia Trail Pants are designed to be used for a range of outdoor activities. They use a blend of recycled polyester/spandex dobby to provide a nice amount of four-way stretch. This stretch is combined with the articulated knees to give excellent freedom of movement which suits everything from running to climbing. The cuffs have an internal gusset and zipper for use over larger hiking boots and adding to the versatility of these pants.
The soft, stretchy feel of the material makes these pants really comfortable even when worn for prolonged periods in differing conditions. They are versatile but the lightweight nature means that durability may be an issue if you regularly use them for climbing, scrambling and even hiking in areas with particularly rough surfaces.
