Nike Tech Helios

Fashion-forward, functional baggy pant. I opted for the all-black color. Pairs well with a lot of tops. These are definitely some of the most comfortable pants I own because they are lightweight, non-restrictive and are made with a comfortable material. The cut of the pant is unique and adds both to the breathe-ability and the style. The attention to detail on these pants are unmatched. All 3 pockets include zippers with attached drawstrings as pull taps. The waistline drawstring is super quality and allows you to adjust the waistband to your liking then stays put to ensure a good fit. (The ankle cuffs also include elastic drawstrings to tighten or loosen) I’m in between a large and XL for most short/pants but choose XL most the time for length. I choose XL in these pants and I’m glad I did because the length is perfect and I can tighten the waistband really well. So far I have worn them after swimming, during yoga and around the house to lounge in. Overall a great product that I can see myself wearing a couple times a month at least.

While these are some of the highest quality pants I own now, something about them just leaves more to be desired. I got a Medium, but they are very long and loose, and my lanky legs feel lost in them. Again, they are very well constructed and feel perfect for warm, sunny days out and about, but I just don’t know if I can pull them off without looking a little ridiculous. Granted, it’s not the first thing I’ve owned that’s made me feel that way.

I’ve never had pants like these before! I was excited to try them because with the heat from summer, sunscreen only does so much. Also I play pickleball outside most times and the sun being so hot prevents that. However with these pants I’m able to cover up in between matches and go outside with more protection. Initially I was worried the material would cause me to heat up more but it actually doesn’t. It does a good job of keeping me more cool than having to put on so much sunscreen. The fit is true to size and very comfortable.
