Tech black pants are a year-round wardrobe staple that prevent crotch-rot and “monkey butt” by providing moisture-wicking properties, breathability, ease of movement and overall comfort. They also resist wrinkling better than their all-cotton traditional counterparts.

Unleash Your Urban Edge: Elevate Your Style with Black Tech Pants

Our picks include the BR Core Temp Pant (slim fit, lots of colors, doesn’t make the swish swish sound cheap tech pants sometimes make) and the Proof Nomad Pant from Huckberry (all cotton but feels like a lightweight chino, looks good on everyone, no swish swish sound, cheap but not cheap enough to be called a “tech pant”). Other worthy candidates include the lululemon Rhodes Commuter Pants (spyce-level spendy, but multiple fits, plenty of color choices and no swish swish noise), Nordstrom’s Tech Smart 5-Pocket Performance pants (cross between a jean and a jogger, no swish swish, $40, ships and returns for free), and The ANETIK Analog Tech Pants (everyday active fit, strategic zipper pockets, no swish swish).

Perfect for hockey players, these tech pants pair well with the Performance Hoodie to create a pre-game outfit that is both comfortable and durable. This everyday, active fit is perfect for rinkside warm-ups, coaching, or just hanging out between games. Featuring a light-weight technical Super 130s wool blend with stretch for extra mobility and a soft hand feel.
