Altura Dynamic Pant Fabric

The Altura Dynamic Pant uses a 4 way stretch Nylon that is optimal for comfort. This 175 g/m² double-weave fabric (93% nylon, 7% spandex) offers durability, mobility, and all-day comfort with just the right amount of structure. It's soft-on-skin feel and ultralight weight led many of our testers to start calling the Altura their "tactical performance pajamas" while out on the trail. 

These pants are lighter, more breathable, & give you pajama-level comfort.

One factor of the comfort levels found in the Altura Dynamic Pant is the built-in mobility features.  These pants were designed to give you unrestricted range of motion for rugged conditions. 



Both the gusseted crotch and articulated knees improve mobility in these pants, and the trim fit is just roomy enough, without excess.

Another factor of comfort is breathability. 

The Altura Dynamic Pant is equipped with large but low profile zipper vents to help dump heat during strenuous activities & maintain comfortable temperatures on the trail.

The Altura Dynamic Pant is highly specialized for backcountry use, with a high emphasis on comfort & mobility. You can go more places more easily without sacrificing comfort or protection.

Amazing pants! So stretchy and feel like PJs

Love the pants overall, durability concerns

Love the pants overall. Great fit for mountain athletic types. The internal belt is amazing for wearing a pack with these pants. Super light weight feel, the vents work great. Pockets are in the correct spots and not annoying to access. When I first got mine there was already some stitches coming loose on the lower inseam. It hasn’t gotten any worse yet so that’s good i guess. These pants have been worn on a number of different hunts already and have contributed to filling 2 of my tags and 5 tags for clients. The stretch fabric isn’t as durable as pants im used to so maybe don’t go busting through brush with them. There was loose stitching on the inseam when I received them(first preorder batch). I will probably get another pair, they are great pants.

Reliable, comfortable, and built for real use

I’ve used the Altura Dynamic Pants on several trips now, most recently in the Tushar Mountains, where temps dropped into the 20s. They performed exactly as described. The fit is comfortable with enough flexibility to move easily on the trail but still structured enough to feel durable.

What stands out most is how well they hold up to use. I’ve brushed against rocks, sat on damp ground, and hiked through cold wind without issue. They dry quickly and don’t stretch out or sag after long wear. They’re lightweight but not flimsy, great balance between comfort and toughness.

I’d recommend these to anyone who spends time backpacking, camping, or just wants a reliable pair of pants that handle real conditions.

My go to elk hunting pants!

These pants are great. I wore them 20 days elk hunting this fall. After the 20 days I even wore them on the 29 hour drive home. They are super comfortable and stretchy so they move with you. The dry super fast which was great. Also the belt system is simple but works well it doesn’t loosen over time. I did get a snag in them going through some deadfall but after cutting the string off the hole did not grow any bigger. These pants are not great for cold mornings glassing on a windy hillside though the wind seems to cut right through them. It’s not what they were design for so if you’re planning on sitting all day these might not be the best pants for you. But these pants are great and I will be looking to get a second pair soon.
