VRST 5 Pocket Pants | Technical Performance Pants
We engineered our VRST 5 Pocket Pants to deliver the stretch and breathability you need for an active lifestyle, wrapped in a clean five-pocket silhouette that works anywhere. The technical fabric blend wicks moisture and moves with you through every squat, lunge, and commute.
These aren’t your standard chinos. We built them with four-way stretch, abrasion-resistant panels at high-wear zones, and a gusseted crotch for unrestricted range of motion. The refined flat-front design transitions seamlessly from the gym to dinner, while the DWR finish sheds light rain and spills.
Technical details & construction
Fabric & Performance Technology
Our proprietary fabric blend combines the durability of polyester with elastane for four-way stretch that never restricts your stride. The tight weave creates a smooth, refined surface that looks like traditional chino fabric but performs like activewear.
The moisture-wicking yarns pull sweat away from your skin and spread it across the fabric surface for rapid evaporation. This keeps you dry whether you’re rushing between meetings or warming up before a workout. The DWR coating adds an extra layer of defense against unexpected weather and accidental spills without compromising breathability.
Fit & Sizing Guide
Modern Athletic Fit
We designed the VRST 5 Pocket Pants with a modern athletic fit that sits just below the waist and follows a straight leg from hip to hem. The cut accommodates developed quads and glutes without excess fabric at the ankle.
The inseam options ensure proper length whether you prefer a clean break at the shoe or a cropped silhouette. We recommend ordering your standard pant size — the stretch fabric accommodates natural body movement without requiring sizing up. The flat-front waistband includes internal grip tape to keep shirts tucked without adding bulk.
Care & Maintenance
Machine wash cold with like colors on a gentle cycle to preserve the technical properties of the fabric. We recommend using mild detergent without fabric softener, which can coat the moisture-wicking fibers and reduce performance.
Tumble dry low or hang dry to extend the life of the elastane fibers. The quick-dry construction means these pants are ready to wear again in hours, not days. Avoid bleach and high heat, which can break down the DWR coating over time. When the water repellency begins to fade after extended use, a spray-on DWR treatment restores the finish.

Questions About VRST 5 Pocket Pants
Our VRST 5 Pocket Pants feature a modern athletic fit that accommodates developed leg muscles while maintaining a clean, straight-leg silhouette. They sit just below the waist with more room through the thigh and seat than slim-fit chinos, but without the excess fabric of relaxed fits. We recommend ordering your standard pant size — the four-way stretch fabric provides flexibility without requiring you to size up.
While the VRST 5 Pocket Pants include technical features like moisture-wicking fabric and a gusseted crotch, we designed them primarily for all-day versatility rather than high-intensity training. They excel for active commuting, travel, light gym sessions, yoga, and any activity that demands unrestricted movement. For dedicated training sessions, we recommend our purpose-built training pants with additional ventilation and reflective elements.
The DWR coating on your VRST 5 Pocket Pants will gradually diminish with repeated washing and wear. To maintain water repellency, wash on cold gentle cycles with mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners that coat the fibers. When you notice water no longer beads on the surface, apply a spray-on DWR treatment following the product instructions. Tumble drying on low heat after treatment can help reactivate the coating.
The hidden zip pocket at the right front hip sits behind the standard hand pocket opening and provides secure storage for valuables you don’t want to lose during movement. It’s sized to fit keys, cards, and folded bills. The zipper closure keeps contents secure when you’re active, while the concealed design maintains the clean aesthetic of the pants. The four traditional pockets remain easily accessible for everyday items.
Yes, we specifically engineered these pants to meet business casual standards while delivering athletic performance. The flat-front design, refined five-pocket styling, and technical fabric that resembles traditional chino material make them suitable for office environments. Pair them with button-down shirts and leather shoes for meetings, then transition to casual wear without changing. The wrinkle-resistant properties ensure they maintain a professional appearance throughout the day.
The moisture-wicking technical fabric in VRST 5 Pocket Pants dries significantly faster than cotton chinos. When air-dried, they’re typically ready to wear within 3-4 hours depending on humidity levels. Tumble drying on low heat reduces dry time to under an hour. This quick-dry performance makes them ideal for travel when you need to wash items overnight, or for active lifestyles where you need clean pants ready quickly.
We offer 30″, 32″, and 34″ inseams to accommodate different heights and styling preferences. Generally, the 30″ inseam works for heights 5’6″ to 5’9″ and those who prefer cropped styling, the 32″ inseam fits heights 5’9″ to 6’1″, and the 34″ inseam suits heights 6’1″ and above. For a traditional full break at the shoe, choose your typical inseam measurement. For a modern cropped look that hits just above the shoe, consider sizing down one inseam length.
