Founded in 2009, Roark may have its roots in surf culture (and continues to pay homage to it), but the brand has become a true expert in crafting rugged clothing designed for travel and adventure. Roark’s sitewide Past Seasons sale is underway right now, which means you can grab something like these utility pants for 40% off and see for yourself why the brand is so beloved by surfers, hikers, and people who just appreciate quality gear.

Built for the long haul, Roark’s Layover Utility Pants will run you $115 without a sale, but you can grab them for $69 at the moment. Fans of the versatile pants say, “I'd wear these pants every day of the week,” because they “give me the security of a denim pant.”

Beloved by Roark loyalists for their rugged versatility, the Layover Utility Pants are a trusted staple for those who spend their weekends in the water or on the trails getting a hike in. Thanks to Roark’s heavy-duty 100-ounce cotton and nylon blend canvas, they're tough enough for backcountry use but clean-cut enough to wear at the brewery afterward. For security, you’re getting a buckle button and a removable drawcord around the waistband, along with a pair of zippered front patch pockets, a back pocket (also zippered), and a smartphone-sized stash pocket on the back.

These pants are just as capable outdoors as they are indoors, with one reviewer writing, “Got these for a three-day camping trip to Nelson, BC, and they were perfect for it. Now I wear them every day. Zippered front pockets kept my belongings in place while traveling in the car or sleeping in the tent at night.”

Layover owners also swear by the quality construction, saying, “Best Roark pant yet. I've tried them all, and these are game changers,” and “As soon as I put them on and squatted down to test mobility, I knew instantly that these were going to be casual go-to pants for anything outdoors.” Another added, "The fit is perfect!"

Thanks to Roark’s sitewide Past Seasons sale, you can grab the Layover Utility Pants for $69 instead of $115. Do keep in mind this sale is ending soon, which means now is the time to get a pair before they return to full price (or sizes run out).
