An excellent option for the bad-weather commuter and the dapper hiker alike, 1st PAT-RN’s Blue Batavia Nylon Trek Pant updates the classic pleated dress pant with a water-resistant and windproof nylon fabric. Two front pockets and two button flap back pockets leave plenty of room for your BlackBerry, sticky notes, and pens; or your trail mix, sunglasses, and map if that’s your thing. (If you need it all at once, may we suggest an adventure vest?)

Side cinches allow you to customize the fit—a helpful detail, as sizes are just S through XL—and the contrasting buttons at the waist and back pockets add a more traditional, businesslike touch.

Made in Italy and available from The Bureau for £246.00 (Non-E.U. Price) to £295.00 (E.U. Price).
