The Sonora Pants from Kryptek. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Kryptek<\/a>, a premier retailer of camo clothing, footwear, and accessories, makes some really cool stuff, as we\u2019ve pointed out on many occasions before<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I, however, never acquired any Kryptek apparel until recently when I picked up a pair of Sonora Pants<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I like to call \u2018em the I\u2019m-Not-Wearing-Any-Pants pants because they are so light and so breathable that you literally feel like you\u2019re not wearing any. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With that in mind, here are five reasons to consider getting yourself a pair. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Eliminate Swamp Butt<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

What I like about these pants is that they are tacticool<\/em> without being overly tacticool<\/em>. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Sonora Pants are designed for extremely hot weather.  When you want to wear pants but don\u2019t want the swamp butt and crotch sweat that accompanies wearing pants when it\u2019s blazing outside, these are ideal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I received them in mid-August (2021) when it was still hot and humid around these parts.  I wore them regularly until the end of October when the temp started to drop.  They held up just fine through multiple washes and wears.  I’ve now brought them back outta the closet and have put them in the weekly rotation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Forgot to mention that mosquitoes love my pale white flesh, which glows brighter than the moon when the sun goes down. Sonora pants are a great defense against skeeters, as well as all blood-sucking bugs, whether you’re cutting the lawn or sitting around a campfire or hiking a trail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4.  Comfort<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

They are as comfortable as jogging pants but way more functional. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Yes, these are extremely comfortable pants that you can actually sleep in if you had to.  (In fact, I think I did sleep in them during SHOT Show 2022 one night when I came back to the hotel in less-than-ideal form). In terms of comfort, I would put them on par with jogging pants.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Made from \u201cweft mechanical stretch fabric\u201d and featuring a \u201cfully gusseted crotch and articulated knee\u201d your freedom of movement is maximized.  No bunching or pinching when you bend over to lace your boots.  You won’t find a more comfortable pair of pants. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

3.  Pockets!<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Five
Plenty of deep pockets. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Plenty of deep pockets on these pants, including jean-style front pockets and rear pockets, and zippered cargo pockets.  The flaps on the rear pockets help for wallet or phone retention when sitting down or when moving dynamically.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But to be on the safe side, I often find myself putting my wallet in one of the zippered cargo pockets as opposed to the rear pocket.  The polyester is so smooth and flexible that I\u2019m worried that my wallet may fall out when I\u2019m seated, even with the flaps.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It probably wouldn’t happen but as they say, it’s better to be safe than sorry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

2.  Utility <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n

I don’t print any more than I do in regular pants. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Carrying concealed inside the waistband or outside the waistband is no different than any other standard pair of jeans or pants.  There are belt loops at the 2 -, 4-, 6-, 8-, and 10- o\u2019clock positions that will accept the average gun belt.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Printing wasn\u2019t an issue with these pants.  Let me rephrase that, I didn’t print any more than I do when I wear my jeans or other tactical pants. I do print to some degree regardless of what bottoms I have on, but I always try to wear an untucked shirt or an outer layer as cover. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

One point of caution is because the Sonora pants are so light, you want to make sure you have a belt that fits well and an IWB or OWB holster that attaches to your belt via clip or loop.  I would not recommend carrying concealed with a sticky sleeve or pouch.  Sonora pants are too light and flexible for that type of system. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
