Built to feel weightless, the KÜHL Resistor Lite Chino Tapered Pant redefines what a warm-weather pant can do. It delivers all the lightweight comfort of a pair of shorts without sacrificing the polished look of a chino, making it just as suited to a day on the trail as it is to wherever the day takes you next. The XKanvas Lite performance fabric is soft as cotton yet tough as nails, offering superior stretch with rebound that helps the pant maintain its form and fit through hours of wear.
Beyond comfort, this pant is built for real performance. The fabric is highly abrasion-resistant, water-resistant with a PFC-free DWR finish, and rated UPF 50+ for maximum UV protection on covered areas. At just 176 GSM, it's ultra-lightweight and easy to care for, wash and wear with no special handling required. The tapered fit offers a slim, not skinny, leg with a distinct taper through the knee and leg opening for a clean, modern silhouette.
Thoughtful design details set this pant apart. Reflective taping inside the back pockets and cuff adds visibility for commuting, while a bungee cord inside the hem lets the wearer adjust taper for style or safety, useful for biking or climbing. The six-pocket layout includes angled front hand pockets, double welt rear pockets, and two drop-in cell phone pockets, rounding out a pant built to move seamlessly from the trail to everyday life.
