Hikers are always looking to shed unnecessary ounces, but ultralight technical gear can leave your wallet feeling much lighter, too. That’s why it’s worth checking out REI’s affordable house labels for hiking boots, backpacking essentials, and camping equipment before splurging on higher-ticket options. Some of REI’s best gear is on sale right now, including a pair of the brand’s lightweight and breathable hiking pants that are back on sale for as little as $35.
Typically $70, the REI Co-op Trailmade Pants are up to 50% off again in several colors, with newer colors recently marked down by 30%. These durable hiking pants have earned over 150 five-star ratings from shoppers who use them for everything from rock climbing to air travel, and they’re currently the No. 2 bestselling pair of men’s pants on the entire site. They’re available in waist sizes from 28 to 50 and inseam lengths from 30 to 34, but some colors have already started to sell out. They were a big hit the last time they went on sale, so make sure to grab your size fast.

REI Co-op’s Trailmade Pants are made from a lightweight nylon/spandex blend for stretchiness and breathability. Articulated knees make for easier movement for any climbing you have to do, while the UPF 50-plus fabric shields you from the sun’s harmful rays. The pants also have ample storage, without the bulk of cargo pants. There are two hand pockets and two back pockets, as well as a secured zippered side pocket, while belt loops and a cord loop add utility.
Many shoppers appreciated the quality and construction of the pants. “I would describe these pants as durable and comfortable,” one shopper stated. “The zipper is great quality. I wear these every time I go hiking or camping and they’re comfortable down to 20-degree weather with a base layer…I’ve scraped these against some pretty sharp rocks thinking that I just lost a pair, but they held firm.”

Shoppers also found them versatile in different weather conditions, with one writing, “They are light and fit well. They do well when you start a morning hike and it’s cool but then the weather starts to get warm/hot.”
If you’re looking for an affordable pair of pants for the trail or terminal, REI Co-op’s Trailmade Pants are a versatile, stylish, and lightweight option that doesn’t cost an arm and a leg. As a discontinued style, this deal will only last as long as the stock does, so get your size soon.
