Levon Bukse Herre

These are my favorite pants to wear every single day. Most pants that have stretch fabric seem to only use 2% stretch material. By having 9%, the Levon pants are able to do a much better job of mirroring movements such as full squats, lunges, etc. My workouts incorporate olympic lifting and powerlifting, resulting in muscular thighs. These pants accommodate my thighs and glutes, without restricting my movements when I run, squat down to pick up the kids, etc. My wife ESPECIALLY likes how they look on me haha. My waist is 32, but I've mostly purchased 33 due to the items I carry daily in my waistband. I like that Arcteryx has 1" sizing for these pants, instead of only 2" size increments. The traditional 5 pocket set up works well. My only wish is that the pants would include low profile side pockets. Having your cell phone in your front pocket can limit the amount of space for other items, especially with a bigger phone. Side pockets can also be great for your wallet, so you can avoid relocating it every time you sit down. The pants are definitely durable for everyday use. I haven't used them for any rigorous hiking, but I've used them for outdoor range training and they have held up very well. The gusseted crotch doesn't show any signs of giving out from dynamic movements. I like that they use a traditional button shank for the waist instead of snap buttons. In my experience, especially when I have items in my waistband, snap buttons can be hit or miss. The slightest tension has caused some of the snap buttons on my pants and shorts (from other brands) to come undone. I have more confidence in a traditional button. I currently own a few pairs of the Cloud and Forage color ways and will purchase more.
