Bottom Line
If you're looking for pants that actually move with you while still looking put-together, these genuinely deliver—the stretch technology and build quality are worth the hype. Just go in with realistic expectations: the Nomad color reads more khaki than the photos suggest, the fit is decidedly form-fitting (so size up if you're between sizes), and they will shrink in the wash. If the short rise isn't a dealbreaker for your body type and you don't mind a snug fit, we think you'll be genuinely happy with these versatile workhorses.
