Nylon pants for hiking?

Some of those track pants are kinda hot and don't breathe well. Other than that go for it. It does not need to be technical apparel. I have a pair I wear at times. Oh and no bushwhacking in them. Otherwise look for supplex nylon pants. On sale.

Agree on all points with Ken.

I don't know if they are in your area, in any case they are online, check out Bass Pro Shop. They tend to have supplex nylon hiking pants for pretty reasonable, especially when they have clearance or sales.

They usually are more breathable and much more durable than the thin nylon wind pants.

I agree, supplex good

Supplex is generic. Not cool for manufacturer to use it. Better to have some proprietary fabric that's essentially the same. Then they can charge more.

Regular nylon is slippery. If the pants have more of a cloth like feel like supplex, then it's more comfortable.

Michael,

I’ve used unlined nylon wind pants for decades. As mentioned, breathability is a factor and varies a lot so you need to check them out before buying.

Most of mine came from second hand stores and only cost a few bucks.

I’ve also bought these new ones and like them a lot.

They also have supplex pants at the same site but you have to buy a suit (top and bottom) to get them.
