Certain women - trek guides, foreign correspondents, Patagonia customers - need clothing that won't shy away from long bus rides, airport bivouacs and glacial stream launderings. The strength, compressibility and easy care of these lightweight, quick-drying Supplex nylon pieces is legendary. We slimmed them down this season with a new, more flattering front. The wide, flat waistbands are lined with moisture-wicking mesh, adjust with webbing side tabs and have zip flies with double-snap closures. Slip your passport, boarding pass, cash and keys into slanted front pockets (one sports a hidden security pocket) or the flapped cargo pockets. The pants and shorts have a rear zippered security pocket; the skirt has a centerfront gusset with an invisible zip for added leg room. Shorts inseam is 5\"; skirt length, from waist to hem, is 22\". Imported.
