Lole Explore One Pant Review
Sure, I’ve often been lectured about the benefits of ‘travel clothes’, packing light and wash n ‘wear. But I never paid attention. Jeans, extra jeans, hiking pants, etc. My mantra is throw it all in the bag and see what you need. That is until I discovered Lole’s aptly named Explore One Pant. I was so impressed, they were the only pants I took on a recent two week trip to India for the Himalayan Run & Trek (check it out, www.himalayan.com).
They’re stylish, light weight, don’t wrinkle, dry overnight after a quick sink washing, have plenty of pockets without looking like cargo pants and plus have an adjustable waistband, which I initially thought was unnecessary, but after running more than 100 miles, it came in handy.
The straight-leg pants have a 32” inseam and are cut from Lole’s Nano Carbon Lightweight fabric. Which means they move with you without bunching or gaping, are abrasion resistant and offer UV protections. And seriously, they have lots of pockets. Two front, two back, one zippered security pocket and a handy patch pocket with a flap—ideal for your passport and boarding pass as you go through security.
I wore these for traveling, hiking and sightseeing and dressed them up with a scarf to go out for dinner.
They come in black, moonlight and grey. I chose moonlight and was pleased with how little they showed dirt and how nice they looked with everything from a t-shirt and running shoes to a tank top and flats—that’s actually a very broad spectrum for me! They sell for $90 at www.lolewomen.com.
