Specialist travel wear can conjure images of ugly, baggy trousers covered in pockets that you will never actually use, but it doesn’t have to be that way. Thanks to Zephyr Berlin, we now have travel-friendly trousers pleasing on the eye.

 

With one men’s style and one women’s style available, the Zephyr Berlin range is compact. However, this means all of the company’s expertise is at work in the pants, made from sustainable materials in Berlin.

 

 

The fabric is wrinkle-free, water and dirt repellent and breathable, so you don’t have to worry about wearing them on long trips. Fabric geeks might be familiar with Schoeller Soft Shell Dryskin material, famed for its high performance and light weight. In fact a pair of these Zephyr Berlin pants weighs just 380 grams, compared to 600 grams for a pair of standard jeans.

 

If you are looking to cut down on weight, improve functionality and maintain some style in your travel wardrobe, the Zephyr Berlin pants are a great choice. The project was subject to a successful Kickstarter campaign, and the trousers will retail for €220 each.
