hey guys welcome to gear 43 my name is
0:02
Luke today we're going to be looking at
0:03
the lightweight traveler pants from
0:06
Taran to see if this is not only a good
0:08
but a great pair of pants I don't know
0:10
about you but I'm always looking for a
0:13
great pair of travel pants because
0:15
really this is the last thing you want
0:17
to think about when you're traveling is
0:19
your pants so let's see if it lives up
0:22
to the hype just a heads up these were
0:24
gifted to us from the company from Taran
0:26
and uh I'm super thankful for that but
0:28
let's get into my review of these I have
0:30
been wearing these pants non-stop for 2
0:33
weeks straight other than today and I've
0:36
only hand washed them one time so let's
0:39
see if they live up to the smell test
0:41
and everything else that you want out of
0:43
a good pair of travel pants so uh I'm
0:46
going to give you my honest review I'm
0:48
going to give you what I like what I
0:49
don't like about them right now the MSRP
0:51
is over $100 for these pants so they
0:54
better live up to what they're claiming
0:55
let's see if they do let's talk about
0:57
what these pants are actually made of
0:58
it's 88% nylon and 12% Spandex and uh
1:02
while they're not my favorite materials
1:04
in such heavy ratios but honestly these
1:07
pants feel really good these pants come
1:09
loaded with features and let's look at
1:11
some of them let's start with the
1:14
closure it's not your typical button
1:17
style closure these are actually two
1:19
high strength magnets that close now the
1:22
idea is you sit down on an airplane and
1:24
guess what they do they open up on you
1:26
ah that feels good and then when you
1:27
stand up they actually close and I'll
1:29
tell you it it is a um it's a weird
1:31
feeling standing up and feeling your
1:34
pants doing something when they're not
1:36
supposed to they'll close on you and
1:38
open on you sometimes and uh it's kind
1:41
of a cool feature let's jump in on the
1:43
more of the closure here I'll give you a
1:45
look at what these look like here's the
1:46
inside this is like a kind of sticky
1:48
rubbery uh type material right here so
1:51
it grips and then they have an inside
1:53
closure this drawstring it's their
1:54
hidden drawring uh behind the magnetic
1:57
closure so um I'm pretty sure so your
2:00
pants don't fall down if the magnets pop
2:03
open too early you have YKK zippers all
2:06
around you do have just your normal
2:09
Pockets here the cut is actually very
2:11
nice I forget the technical term for
2:13
this type of cut on a pocket cuz my
2:15
brain doesn't hold on to things like
2:16
that but they do have so you got your
2:18
front and back pockets like that uh your
2:21
rear back pocket right here is one of
2:24
their what they call their hidden
2:25
zippered compartments and so this one
2:27
comes with a zipper and uh you also have
2:30
behind your front
2:32
compartments on each side a hidden
2:34
compartment with the YKK zippers built
2:37
in uh a great feature and excellent
2:39
addition to the pants as far as the
2:41
material I want you just to kind of hear
2:43
so you can you're not in the room with
2:44
me but uh let's see if you can hear what
2:46
the material sounds
2:47
like it's a little bit loud we'll talk
2:49
about that a little bit later later in
2:51
what I like and what I don't like about
2:53
the material but it is I'll I'll give
2:55
them this it's a nice clean material and
2:57
one thing about these pants is they come
2:59
low Ed with features so the material
3:02
comes with an EPA certified whatever
3:04
that means uh bug repellent built in to
3:08
the material um they also will protect
3:10
you from Sun and UV rays and along with
3:13
that it comes with odor resistance buil
3:16
in and uh stick around because I tested
3:19
that out all right well let's talk about
3:21
what I like and what I don't like about
3:23
these pants and the first thing I'm
3:24
going to tell you that I like about
3:25
these pants and that is the smell test
3:28
these pants have built odor protection
3:31
and I'm telling you they live up to the
3:33
rep reputation even before I washed them
3:38
they did not carry a bad odor and that
3:41
was like 10 days into to the twoe trial
3:43
that I gave them of wearing them every
3:45
single day out in the woods around town
3:48
out at dinner all sorts of public places
3:51
and these things don't carry an odor
3:53
I've had lots of travel pants that claim
3:55
to do that these are the only ones that
3:57
have done this well I actually had my
3:59
wife wife smell them which was a weird
4:01
request but she did it and you know what
4:03
she said they smell clean well here's
4:05
the other thing that I like about these
4:06
pants with these pants you're not going
4:08
to be thinking about them all day um you
4:11
throw them on and you kind of forget
4:12
that they're there honestly with the
4:14
drawring that you can tie it up with and
4:17
the Magnetic closure they are super
4:19
comfortable and that is with me having a
4:22
pair that's one size two small and uh so
4:25
even with a small pair these kind of
4:27
Chino style lightweight weight pants are
4:31
fantastic cuz you can throw them on and
4:33
forget about them even if you don't have
4:34
the perfect size or you gain 10 lbs over
4:36
the holidays so pretty good deal well
4:39
let me show you another thing that I
4:40
really like truly this is my no it's not
4:43
my favorite cuz the odor resistance is
4:44
my favorite this is my second favorite
4:46
thing about these pants I don't like a
4:49
bulky aesthetic on clothing I don't like
4:52
clumsy uh like untaken care of clothing
4:57
and and uh carry around a minimalist
4:59
wallet and uh slipping it in the front
5:02
pocket it's not a big deal but I found
5:04
that if you tuck them in the side kind
5:06
of hidden pocket right there which is a
5:08
really nice material it stays low
5:11
profile even if you have a big wallet or
5:13
you're putting your phone in there
5:14
that's a nice feature you're going to
5:16
look a l a lot nicer walking around in
5:18
these pants I told you about a bunch of
5:20
things that I like I have a LoveHate
5:22
relationship though with the magnetic
5:24
closure like who doesn't love magnets
5:27
but these magnets I get what they're
5:29
going for okay I think what they're
5:31
going for is like you get on the plane
5:33
you want to relax you don't want an
5:35
uncomfortable uh waistline as you're
5:37
spending 10 hours in a in a seat that's
5:40
way too small so when you sit down it
5:41
should open up and then when you stand
5:43
up it should close but here's the
5:45
problem that I had okay and I'll admit
5:47
it's my fault I ordered a pair that was
5:49
one size too small now the problem with
5:52
that is is that this guy wants to fold
5:55
over and open up all day uh which makes
5:59
the seam of your pants stick out under
6:01
your shirt so what I found I had to do
6:03
was wear a belt all the time now um if I
6:06
was a size smaller I would imagine that
6:08
wouldn't be a problem at all but here's
6:10
the thing I feel like if you're going to
6:12
order these pants you need to order the
6:14
exact size and not gain or lose any
6:16
weight because then it's not going to
6:18
work as well um with that or you could
6:21
do the other thing order two pair and uh
6:23
during the Hol holiday seasons where
6:25
your larger ones and when you're uh
6:27
hitting the gym in January after the
6:29
holiday you can put on your smaller ones
6:31
all right well let's talk about uh
6:33
something that I don't like on these
6:34
pants and that is the noisy material I
6:38
have some hunting pants that are like
6:39
zero noise material so I'm kind of
6:41
spoiled in that regards they're
6:43
fantastic pants um but when I put these
6:45
on At first I felt like when you are an
6:48
8-year-old kid and you get that like
6:51
over stuffed cheap pair of snow pants
6:55
that you can't move around in and uh it
6:58
just makes a lot of noise now when
7:00
you're out and about when you're walking
7:02
when you're hiking with these things not
7:03
a problem uh I wouldn't hunt in them but
7:06
if you're if you're hiking in these
7:07
things not a problem if you're walking
7:09
around in public settings not a problem
7:11
but if you're like in a meeting I've
7:12
been in some meetings in some conference
7:14
rooms with these pants on it's a little
7:17
noisy it's not weird noisy it's just you
7:19
notice it a little bit more so just know
7:22
it's a little bit more
7:24
noisy see that noise wait see let's just
7:29
noise noise let's talk about whether or
7:31
not you should buy a pair of these pants
7:33
uh first thing I think you should buy a
7:35
pair of these pants if you're traveling
7:36
in hot climates um if you are going
7:39
through uh like me I go from like winter
7:42
climates into like African hot climates
7:46
sometimes and you're there for multiple
7:48
weeks if you're in that type of
7:49
situation where you're traveling a lot
7:51
and maybe you have or do not have access
7:53
to a laundry mat or a way to clean your
7:55
pants um then these pants are for you
7:58
cuz they are they are going to minimize
8:01
odor a lot so make sure to grab a pair
8:05
of these for that let's talk about for
8:07
people who like maybe these pants are
8:09
not for and that would be for someone
8:11
who doesn't like number one the Chino
8:13
style kind of cut the look if that
8:15
doesn't fit your look then this might
8:17
not look so good on you um but if you
8:19
like Chino style travel pants this has
8:22
you can kind of dress up dressed up
8:24
dressed down a little bit um with these
8:27
pants and you're going to fit into a lot
8:28
of different situations with these and
8:29
still maintain a good look these pants
8:32
in my opinion are not for you if you
8:34
fluctuate in weight a lot like I do like
8:38
10 to 15 lbs because one season they're
8:41
going to fit one season they're going to
8:43
be a little annoying you can put a belt
8:45
on to bypass the sort of magnetic
8:47
closure popping open so they'll still
8:49
hold and still hold tight so it's not
8:51
the end all but um there might be some
8:53
better options for you um if that's the
8:55
case I would like to see the company
8:57
come out with say a secondary closure on
9:00
top of this maybe a clasp or something
9:02
that if you wanted it to not open up
9:04
that would happen I if if that were the
9:06
case I would say these are almost a
9:07
perfect pair of travel pants well hey
