Patagonia Tropical Flats Pants

There’s a reason most seasoned flats anglers wear long pants: protection from coral, bugs and, most important, the searing rays of the tropical sun. But that doesn’t mean you have to suffer the heat. Our Tropical Flats Pants are the lightest, most comfortable hot-weather fishing pants we’ve ever made. The cool, airy 3-oz nylon/spandex blend dries quickly, floats over the skin, and provides 30-UPF sun protection. For even greater ventilation, the unique pocket snap system holds the pocket bag open to catch cooling breezes. Mesh drainage ensures you won’t carry half the ocean in your pockets when you get out of the water. The elastic waist has a drawcord for comfort. Ideal for all warm-weather fishing, hiking or camping. The pants also fold or roll up remarkably small, making them easy to pack for travel. Inseam (size M) is 32".
