The downhill line has a lot of tricky sections--tight corners with branchy trees, steep rock gardens abundant with jagged stone, and huge berms into surprisingly deep streams. But that's nothing the DHaRCO Gravity Pants can't handle. Its rugged exterior brushes off the abrasiveness of the trail and reflects water with ease. Meanwhile, an articulated and stretchy design gives us the agility to bob and weave through the abundant obstacles.
