Suitable for every body shape and activity

Types of waistbands

Designing the perfect waistband requires extensive anatomical knowledge. You have to know your body shapes inside and out. You have to know how waist, buttocks and hips relate to each other. A proper waistband requires technical knowledge, creativity and craftsmanship.

A reliable waistband, thanks to a perfect fit

The perfect waistband isn’t just integral to the overall fit of your pants, it’s also an important part of what makes them functional. The right kind of waistband can effectively support all of your movements and keep you feeling free and secure. That way, nothing can distract you from the path ahead. Your senses are free to experience mother nature, the smell of the forest, the sounds of the animals, the sight of sun rays through the canopy, and the primal joy of moving your body.

Of course, you can choose any of our pants – all of them will fit you, regardless of their specific waistband solution, thanks to the bi-elastic material. That being said, we managed to improve upon this clever combination even more.
