What are the Tucana Lite Pants?
They're the ideal multi-purpose mountain pants that offer plenty of stretch and comfort for long days and intense adventures. Though lighter than their standard counterpart, the Tucana Lite Pants still offer durability and windproof protection for exploring exposed, rugged trails.
What are they made of?
These pants are primarily made of Granite Stretch Lite, which is both lightweight and abrasion and wind resistant, providing reliable protection against the elements and your surroundings, without compromise. As you may have guessed, Granite Stretch Lite is super stretchy, making it ideal for steep ascents or more technical scrambles where you need a higher range of movement. It feels smooth against the skin and comfortable enough to wear for longer periods or multi-day trips.
The material is coated with a PFC-free DWR (durable water repellent), which enhances water resistance without using chemicals that are harsh to the environment.
However, the waistband is made of a different material - Mala Lissom nylon. This fabric feels extremely smooth against the skin, improves comfort around the midsection and enhances flexibility.
What are their features?
The deep stretch waistband offers a great amount of coverage to keep you feeling confident and supported without being tight or restrictive.
Surprisingly, you get a good amount of storage for such light trousers - two hand pockets and a rear zipped pocket. The mesh hand pockets work well for storing small items and can double up as ventilation when you need it - simply leave them unzipped to draw airflow through the mesh bags inside.
Articulated knees sit more naturally around the joints and optimise freedom of movement, which is handy for stepping high.
Finally, they come in a 'Trim Fit', which sits closer to the skin to minimise dead space and keep the weight down.
