- Lightweight pants weighing 350 grams
- Made with silk-like cotton from the Nile Delta
- Advanced ventilation system with 332 laser-cut vents
Home to some of the hottest and most humid places on the planet, the equator carves through dense tropical jungles, warm seas, and crowded cities. Instead of seasons or temperature changes you’re more likely to be hit by a wall of heat, sun, rain and humidity. But as global temperatures rise and climate zones shift, designing clothing for the equator is like designing for our future.
So the Equator Pants are built to keep you comfortable in all 40,000km of one of the most extreme environments we currently inhabit and one that’s set to grow. The pants start with one of the lightest and softest materials on the planet – a rare, silk-like cotton from the Nile Delta – which we combine with ultrafine nylon and elastane for durability and stretch. They’re then engineered with an advanced ventilation system built with 332 laser-cut vents and super soft Italian mesh.
Over the last few years, the pants have been worn everywhere from Death Valley California and the Australian Outback, to the deserts of Oman. They’re highly breathable, dry fast after downpours, and you can now wear them with our Equator Jacket as an ultra lightweight travel suit to keep you cool in the heat.

The Equator Pants are built from a rare, silk-like cotton that’s only found in the Nile Delta and only grows when the rain, soil and wind conditions are perfect.

Fast drying from rain and humidity
Rainstorms and humidity are going to soak you one way or another at the equator, so the key is about drying really fast, rather than trying to avoid getting wet. The material is lightweight and elastic so it dries quickly, making the pants as at home in a rainforest as they are in a city. And the extra airflow from the ventilation will help your skin dry faster at the same time as the pants.

Life at the equator offers us a glimpse of our future – a world of non-stop sun, heat, humidity and rainstorms.

An angled button cover and 5 belt loops
The fly fastens securely with a zipper and two bioresin buttons, one on the outside of the waistband and one on the inside. The outer button has an angled button cover, and the waistband comes with five 60mm belt loops to work with almost any belt.
