Overview:

Our Karst Pants are abrasion-proof technical trousers that look and feel practical, not tactical. They're made for trekking through thick underbrush, scrambling on rock, and the most demanding outdoor work. Rather than waterproofing, the Karst is designed for high activity where breathability is essential.

  • Built to be tough, stretchy, and breathable
  • Backed by a lifetime warranty & repair program
  • Ethically made with our recycled 13.7oz Karst fabric

Covered under our Fair Deal Guarantee.

Durable & Breathable Fabric

Our Karst fabric is 90% 13.7oz 1000D nylon with four-way stretch and 10% spandex. The fabric has a tough, yet comfortable hand-feel and feels surprisingly pleasant to wear. Spandex allows for a full range of motion. 

Timeless Fit & Style

Unlike most utility pants, the Karst actually fits well and looks good. It easily flies under the tactical radar while boasting a huge amount of tough utility. It runs the same base fit as the Flex Canvas with just a bit more room.

Secure, Subtle, & Functional Pockets

Nine tactical pockets are subtly integrated for maximal function and minimal headache.

Mesh Interior Liner

Wicking and super soft, our unique mesh liner reduces sweat and is ridiculously comfortable on your important parts.

Drawstring Cuff Closure

A cinching pull-tab cuff lets you decide how tightly your pant hugs your boot.

Diamond Gusset & Articulated Knees

Make movement a priority.

Security & Reinforcement

YKK lockdown zippers keep your mind on the trail - not on losing your stuff - while double layer fabric strengthens common stress points.

I think they would be great, but not for me.

If I was heavy into hiking and trekking, these pants would be great. But I am not. I just need easy pants, that are lightweight and move with me. These move but don't feel lightweight. Honestly they feel very durable and long lasting because of the fabric. They didn't fit want I wanted. I loved the pocket options, I just want a thinner material.

Rugged Pants

These pants are heavy duty. Not sure how they perform in hot weather, but they kept me warm in fall weather. Be advised that these seem to be cut from a different pattern. Compared to my other LIVSN pants these were longer and bigger around in the waist. Ran them through the washer/dryer on hot and it helped a bit. Unfortunately these don't come in a 35 inch waist size. Other than that, these are bomber. I like the pocket details and design.

Love the products but consistency is awful

I have a pair of Karst from last year that I love. Ordered another pair in the new khaki color that came out. Ordered the same size as my existing Karst. The new pair fit much slimmer through the legs, which I honestly prefer, same on the waist, but the 30" inseam is noticeably shorter, by almost an inch. I didn't return them because I've tried the 32" previously and they felt too long, and I thought these aren't *too* far off - maybe they'll relax out a bit after a couple of washes, but here I am with a pair of expensive trousers that feel like highwaters the more I wear them and that I generally now avoid wearing. I've had these inconsistent sizing issues on a couple of previous orders as well and I'm starting to wonder why I keep coming back to this brand. It's annoying that I want to keep buying the exact same pant and I have to buy a different size each time. I'd imagine if I had returned them and gotten the 32" inseam they'd probably be manufactured an inch too long and I'd keep sending back pants until I find one that actually matches my pair from last year.

Great

Great fit! Seems super durable with a good amount of stretch, but I'm waiting for cooler weather to test them out. Note that these are heavy if you plan to use them for backpacking or sports where weight is a concern.

Heavy duty but flexible

Heavy pants but still easy to move in them. Good for winter and great pockets as always!
