What’s the big deal with the 24.7 Simple Pants – Midweight? These are GORUCK”s excellent simple pants – but with a heavier, less-revealing thickness of material.
Pants matter. They should be versatile enough to be the best pants for traveling, commuting, rucking, and training. And if you are into extreme challenges and intense workouts, pants proven at thousands of GORUCK Events are what you need.
Let’s cut right to the chase – how are these different when compared to the Light Simple Pants?
The Midweight Simple Pants fabric is 187 GSM – Grams Per Square Meter.
The regular (Light) Simple Pants are 125 GSM. That’s almost 50% more material.
Why would they do this? The original Simple Pants are incredibly light-weight, comfortable, and stretchy. But… they could be a little TOO – let’s say revealing.
This heavier weight material makes the Midweight version a bit more versatile. They are going to seem less like a pair of athletic pants.
Keep it simple and comfortable with the 24.7 Simple Pants from GORUCK:
24.7 Simple Pants – Midweight – Overview
The 24.7 Simple Pants are the combination of the best workwear blue jeans for simplicity and toughness and the tough-as-nails fabric trusted by the rock climbing industry. The ToughDry® fabric is the same material used in GORUCK’s Simple Shorts and Challenge Pants.
This material is fast-drying and abrasion resistant with two-way stretch. These pants weigh 187 GSM and are made from 94% nylon and 6% spandex. They are made in the USA and built to last for unstoppable adventures.
The 24.7 Simple Pants are lightweight and can be folded down to the size of a 12oz can of Budweiser. They have back pockets and horizontal pockets, so stuff will not fall. They also have finished belt loops and curved waistbands for a better fit.
Simple Pants Versus Challenge Pants
What’s the difference between simple pants and challenge pants?
Simple Pants are … simpler.
They look like an ordinary pair of jeans (but in a different material). They have the pockets you’d expect too.
But Simple Pants are not bulky – they are stretchy – and super comfortable.
In comparison, Challenge Pants are more akin to cargo shorts.
They’ve got two side zipper pockets for extra storage – and the gusset in the crotch area ensures extreme comfort and ease of movement.
Challenge Pants are more expensive than Simple Pants – because there’s more that goes into them.
