Consider this a farewell to your love affair with denim. Equal parts technical style and savvy design, the new Mountain Khakis Camber 105 and 107 are the ultimate pants for adventures on the city streets, rocky trails, or at the local tavern.
On Performance and Design…
Last spring we were introduced to the Mountain Khakis brand, and a line of apparel that was true to an authentic mountain lifestyle. From the legendary Mountain Pant to the Rendezvous Qtr Zip, the brand has a worthy apparel option for all those who believe that freedom and rugged adventure is a way of life.
Now, Mountain Khakis has introduced their next generation of go-everywhere, do-anything pants in the MK Camber 105 and 107. Engineered with motion in mind, these pants are specifically built for people who want a pair of outdoor worthy pants but are rightfully unwilling to look as though they’ve gone on a khaki safari just because they’d like a comfort on their adventures.
Diamond-Shaped Action Gusset, articulated knees, and an athletic fit all contribute to this pant’s amazing mobility for a the guy who’s constantly on the move. Rivet-reinforced stress points and scuff guards at the heel help the pants survive burly climbs or long days on the trail. But the slightly slender silhouette ensures they’re a great option for casual days at work or lounging around town.
And for those who think a plethora of pockets equates to a baggy style, Mountain Khakis is once again about to shake up your dated preconceptions of old school khaki pants. Both the Camber 105 and 107 give you six pockets, including a cell phone stash pocket on the right thigh. That’s plenty of storage for life’s knick-knacks minus the burdensome bulk and bagginess.
At the end of the day, the Camber 105 and 107 reward your sense of style with clean lines and liberate you with everyday comfort. They are the one pair of pants you‘ll pull on for comfort and adventure alike. And as an added bonus, a Bison Bottle Opener Keyring is included with each pair – because Mountain Khakis knows that a true gentleman is never unprepared.
Notes From the Field…
Choices can prove to be daunting. So to keep your mind at ease we’d suggest that you follow our lead and simply pick up a 105 and 107 and then call it a day. But if you truly must choose between the two, Mountain Khakis offers some quality advice. Channeling their phrase ‘rowdy meets refined,’ the 107 is slightly more on the rowdy side.
When it comes to a critique, we did have a minor quibble based upon what seems to be a slight sizing issue in the waist. While our gear guru owns multiple pairs of the 105 and 107, he wears a different waist size in the two models. That being said the length is spot on and once you find your perfect fit, those old jeans will be spending lots of alone time in your dresser drawer.
Bottom Line….
In our humble opinion; Best. Pants. Ever.
