Nike ACG « Trailwind »

The Nike Trailwind pants are super lightweight, waterproof, and a perfect length for any type of activity. When I first put them on I was surprised because it felt almost like I wasn't wearing pants because the material is so light and thin. I have bigger thighs and these fit perfectly in my normal Nike size (medium). I haven't had a chance to run in these yet since it's been warm the last few weeks in NY, but wearing them on walks and out in the rain I can definitely see these becoming a favorite in the Fall and Spring. Unlike a lot of other "waterproof" clothing I have purchased in the past, these are actually pretty waterproof. Now for my only critique of these, no side pockets!!! I am not sure if this decision was made to keep them as lightweight as possible, which don't get me wrong I appreciate, but I would have really liked these to have at least one side pocket. There is a pocket in the back which the pants can fold into which is super convenient for packing these, but it can be hard to reach to store phones/keys etc and having a phone on your butt can be uncomfortable depending on what you're doing. Overall these are great pants that I will be wearing often, and despite my issue with the pockets a running belt easily solves that issue.

The Nike Trailwind Pants are the perfect packable pants for a potentially rainy hike. It is easy to bring them along to be safe rather than sorry as they fold into a nice compressed pocket built into the pants. They are designed to be an outer layer to keep you dry for rainy or wet conditions. The fit is oversized for easy on and off and laying so I would say stay true to your typical Nike sizing. They are waterproof, not water resistant, which means they are not very breathable but will keep you dry on the outside. If you’re looking to stay dry or just like to be prepared for any wet conditions these are the perfect pants.

What did you think about the fit and feel? I was amazed at how extremely comfortable these pants are. As soon as I put them on, it feels like you have no added weight on you. Besides being weightless they fit so well, they don’t rise up in weird places or press against you in any way. These pants are perfection. The feel of the pants isn’t like anything I’ve worn, they don’t irritate your skin or brush up in any way. Length and waist wise, they’re true to size. Nothing comes close to this pair of pants. This is extraordinary in fit and feel. What did you think about the design? The design is simple yet effective. There isn’t anything flashy about the pants but they stand on their own with subtle details like the strings and the rectangular ACG logo. I appreciate a pair of pants you can wear anytime and they don’t feel out of place. With a sleek black color, these are now my go to for gym, running, and errands. What did you think about the fabric? The fabric is a standout feature. The fact that they feel so durable and sturdy, yet flexible and lightweight is a combination that I didn’t know was possible. Everything is well put together and stitching is consistent throughout. I love that the pants move with you and they don’t hold you back. This fabric is tailor made for athletes and anyone who likes to be active. What did you like most? What would you change? I like the fact that I can grab these pants for so many different activities. Not once have they bothered me. I typically don’t wear pants because they get hot and uncomfortable. However, these have so much breathability and flexibility that it feels like I’m wearing shorts instead of pants. I wouldn’t change a single thing about these pants. They are a staple in my clothing rotation now.
