Making friends wherever we go... Men's Lake Lodge Pant

We love to hear from our fans out there in the field!� They tell us about the crazy places they take their MK's and the even crazier things they do wearing them (and frankly, it makes us a little envious sitting here at our desks).� One thing is certain, MK's are loved the world-over.� So much so, people actually take the time to write us nice notes and sing the praises of our pants... (and that makes us feel really good about sitting here at our desks).� After all, "Brands are built on what people are saying about you, not what you're saying about yourself..."� We look forward to hearing from YOU!

"My Women's Utility pants arrived on Friday, and I wore them all weekend outside in the wet and mud, cleaning animal pens, building in the workshop, and working in the yard. Your marketing materials say that they are designed to look good in their stains but honestly, despite the workout I (deliberately) put them through, they did not get any stains. After wearing them all day Saturday, I decided they still looked good enough to wear Sunday afternoon and I wanted to see how much they could take. I'm impressed. They seem to repel water and dirt, and after a good washing this morning, they look as good as new again. They are hands-down my favorite weekend garment now. I plan to add more to my wardrobe and can't wait to see what you come out with next. Thanks so much." -H. Head

"[I was on] an adventure motorcycle trip from central AZ to down near the Mexico border and then back up to the high deserts and mountains of Prescott AZ. With the fluctuating temperatures of April in Arizona the MK Granite Creek Pants were perfect to wear under protective riding pants as they were a wrinkle-free presentable pant when I took off the riding pants. I was also impressed at their ability to hold off stains and that they really don't absorb dust and dirt. When they did get dusty they would just shake or brush off clean." -B. McVickers

"All [Osprey employees] wore their new MKs at least on one day in the Osprey booth- I wore mine three days!" -S. Mix

"Thanks Josh, I wear nothing but Mountain Khakis everyday to work. They are by far the most comfortable pants I've ever worn. Thanks so much for your great customer service." -K. Pressley

"I just ordered a pair of MK's. I have a couple of pairs of shorts, great quality, and durable. Thanks again keep up with the great product" -S. Masi

"Please pass on to your company what a fine product I think you guys make. Really sturdy and good looking to boot. Great customer service, too." -A. Speak

"Just ordered another pair of Alpine Utility shorts. They are the absolute best shorts that I have ever owned!!!!!!!" -P. McCloskey

"Hi Jeanne, The pants arrived yesterday and I can't thank you enough for everything you did to make a complicated exchange (delayed because our trip and recent health problems) a real pleasure. Mountain Khakis Teton Twills are certainly the most comfortable pants I've ever worn -- and apparently the best made as well. What a pleasure after coming out of hospital to step into perfection!!! My great appreciation... and warm regards" -P. Neaman

"I just got off the Profile Trail (Grandfather Mtn.) and LOVE my new Granite Creek Shorts. I'm able to move freely and get wet in the water holes & streams. THEY ARE GREAT! Thank you so much!!!" -T. Mitchell

"I have recently purchased 2 of the MK Teton Twill pants, and 2 of the Teton Twill shorts. I am very impressed with the quality and craftsmanship of the MK pants. I am about to order 2 more of the Teton Twill pants and 2 MK Mountain Pants as well. I enjoy the Teton Pants because I wear them at work as a insurance and financial professional during the week with a dress shirt. I like the shorts when I am on the tractor on my family farm or fishing for Redfish on the coast, or Bass in the lakes and rivers of South Carolina. The light weight of the Tetons keep you cool and stretch perfectly when you are in full movement. Keep up the good work." -D. Creswell

"I'm wearing the Twills at work right now, and will be in the AUPs all weekend!" -D. Minifie

"Dear Mountain Khakis, I have owned a pair of Men's Teton Twill Pants since 2003. They have been my favorite pair of Khakis for the last 7 years. I worked at an outdoor store in Tuscaloosa, AL and bought the khakis when they first hit the shelf. I did not expect that I would still have the same pair all these years later. They are nearing the end of their life but I will surely replace them with another pair. These are the most durable khakis that I have ever owned." -B. Baggett

"Just got my second pair of Teton Twills. There's only one thing wrong with them: Now, no other pants will do! They are seriously freakin' awesome. The most comfortable well-built pants, period. Don't change a thing!" -M. Heckman

"Best. Pants. Ever. Mountain Khakis. That�s all. Keep it up." -D. Clayton

"As a commercial and editorial photographer, my work takes me to a variety of locations and climates. I have long been a fan of Mountain Khakis products, and with the launch of the Snake River line, I believe that they have now created the ideal pants for photographers. Sure, I know they were designed for outdoor pursuits like fly fishing, hiking, and just generally being outdoors, but those are also the perfect proving ground for developing an excellent product for photographers using these pants in various climates. With secure zippered pockets for spare batteries, memory cards and other accessories, I can travel to a shoot with much less �baggage� and have my essential gear with me at all times. The thigh pocket is the perfect size for a light meter or an iPhone, and the light weight/quick drying build of these pants is ideal for photographers capturing the perfect shot of a subject on the river, hiking trail, or in a studio. I have been using these pants across the past month, and I have been really impressed with this new line from Mountain Khakis. I will continue to test them across the summer, but my early read is that Mountain Khakis has created a winner in these pants." -K. Coloton

"Whoa! I can't rave anough about your women's Teton Twill pants. I have a pair in both colors and should buy a second pair of each because they fit PERFECTLY! My shape is tough to fit; I'm 5'2" and have a curvy, athletic build. It's as if you knew exactly what I needed in a great fitting pair of pants, and made them just for me! I wear these pants to the office as often as possible. You've got a fan in Longmont, Colorado! Thank you so much" -J. Reeves

"I was walking into the downtown YMCA this morning, and this guy said, 'Those pants are great.' I forgot I was wearing an MK shirt. He started going into detail about the pockets, the fabric, etc. and said that he had some friends who own businesses out in Jackson Hole (bait and tackle shops, maybe?) and that 'everyone out there wears them.'" -W. Barron

"I did a nice solo overnight on a 5400 peak near Mt. Mitchell in western NC. I wore my new Snake River Pants while I was up there and I really liked how they were lightweight and quick drying, but much beefier and warmer than the typical nylon pants. I definitely plan on getting some of the shorts now!" -B. Dean

"Both my wife and I received the Alpine Utility Pants and Shorts as a gift and absolutely love them! The pants are truly unmatched in terms of comfort style and durability. And for someone who has worn Patagonia stand up shorts for the past 25 years, I now have a reason to make a switch as Mountain Khakis simply makes a superior product. Sorry Yvon." -Mike & Sara M.

"Snake River pants are da bomb!!!!! Just bought two pair and I haven't worn anything else in a week(pants, that is). I purchased both the full pant and zip-off bottom style and they are the best river style pant I own!!! These are hands down my new favorite pair of pants!!!!! Highly recommend!!!!!!" -Steve

"I recently bought a pair of the M's Lake Lodge Twill pants. I use them primarily for rock climbing when the weather is a little too chilly for shorts. I wanted to say that while this is probably not their intended use, they are the best pants I have ever found for the job. It's very hard to find a pair of pants that can hold up to the abuse of climbing, but also have that little bit of stretch for unrestricted movement. Thanks so much for the great pair of pants, and keep up the good work. You now have another dedicated follower, and I will continue to recommend your pants to all of my friends." -E. Walter

"I have been enjoying soooo much my Flannel-Lined [OMP's] and Snake River Pants!!! Which I always wear ;-) The Snake River Pants are so versatile and practical. I wear them in the city or on the boat, in the outdoors. The Flanel-Lined [OMP's] are perfect for late afternoon and evening and when I need a rough pair to go photographing. Right now, after traveling with them, sailing the Sea of Cortez, trekking the desert of Baja, driving Patagonia, of hiking the andes, I looooove them. Can't wait to go to the jungle now in 2 weeks." -D. Fox

"I tested out the Mountain Khakis Snake River Pant. And I love them just as much as the shorts. I do not have the convertible but I think they would be the best all around pant to buy. I used the pant hiking for a few miles and climbing all day. I have to say I am very impressed, again. Very comfortable." -E. Gianelloni

"Thank you for the Mountain Khakis Lake Lodge Twill shorts....I don't know how I've managed without them. They are so comfortable and soft! I'm a convert." -C. Ragar

"I (heart) my alpine utility shorts. They have everything a product fit engineer / hiker / viking / handyman needs. I thank you kindly." -N. LeFort

"You guys build great stuff that even I can�t wear out! Thanks for the very courteous support!" -E. Driscoll

"I tried a pair of Mountain Khakis and liked them so much I now have 8-10 pairs of the khakis in various colors and styles, 2 pairs of their jeans, and now four pairs of the Snake River pants (both colors, both styles). I have not had a chance to try out the latter, but with wading season fast approaching, I should be able to soon." -M. McCorcle

"Love your OMPs, TTs, and LLTs! Thanks for making the best pants anywhere." -H. Boykin

�As you may know, I've been working at Kinnucan's in Tuscaloosa for most of this school year. The other night when I was working a shift, Alabama Football player Corey Reamer came in and was looking at the MKs. After walking up to him and asking if he'd tried a pair, he proceeded to tell how much he loved the product! I told him we were going to be receiving the new Snake River collection this week and he is going to come pick up a pair soon! So needless to say, I've got a new reason why people should buy MKs...National Champions wear Mountain Khakis! Have a great weekend and I hope all is well." -Adam

"I was wondering around for a few days on the flats of Urethra, Bahamas fly fishing for bonefish and found my Snake River Pants were great for protecting me from the sun. They are light, comfortable, have plenty of pockets that can be zipped closed, and allow for the legs to easily be removed. I will bring them with me again the next time I hit the flats." -R. Schiltz

"I am a boat captain; I shuttle backpackers to and from Isle Royale National Park in Lake Superior aboard the M/V Voyageur II. On almost every trip passengers comment on my MK OMPs and I can't say enough good about them. They are the most comfortable and durable pants I've ever owned. Whether I'm handling passengers backpacks, handling the lines or docking the boat, these pants stand up to the rigors of Lake Superior life. I have had one such pair for over 5 yrs now and they're still going strong. Cheers and keep up the good work!" -M. Becka

"I was lucky enough to receive a complimentary pair of your pants for design work I did with Outside Bozeman Mag. I was impressed with my pair of Cottonwood Cords from the very beginning. First off they fit and look great! something that is hard to do for me usually as I'm not a skinny mini. I love the feel of the pants and the stretch that they have and find myself reaching for them over other choices most mornings. I have been very pleased with these cords, they are very comfortable and seem to be ready for anything including lounging. Thanks for a great product" -Angie

"I'm embarrassed to admit, I wear these pants every single day."�-C. Shuler

�I mean it when I say you make outstanding products. There are few companies making clothes that last, WORK, and feel good; as a young bush pilot the former(s) is a real joy for me. So, thank you, keep up the good work!�� -Spreading the Word

�Hello, I just bought my first pair of OMPs yesterday at the Alpine Shop in Rangely, Maine. Washed them last night and wearing them now. WELL DONE! These are excellent pants. I look for unique pants that are a bit heavier weight with some design extras for longevity that aren't too run-of-the-mill - you guys nailed it. I wear Carhartt, Patagonia, Kuhl, Columbia, LL Bean, and Filson to name a few. These OMPs are hands-down the pick of the litter, and I can see how other similar pants I own (like a pair from Territory Ahead) are nothing more than knock-offs. I'm part of an apparel company, so I know the value of feedback. Pleased tell your Team that they are doing GREAT work. THANK YOU.�� -Cheers

�I love them, what more can I say.�� -E. Gianelloni

�Tell whomever designed these things that they came up with an awesome pair of pants!�� -R. Schiltz

�Here is a funny testimonial for you. The other day I was wearing a pair of MK Original Mountain Pants. I stopped at a store to quickly run in, hopped out of the truck phone in one hand and keys in the other. I think the toe of my flip-flop, yes MKs and flip flops - awesome combination, caught on the edge of the curb but whatever happened I went down. A full layout on the cement, face first with my chest on the ground, almost comical but I swear I was sober! My hands and knees took the fall. I got up and brushed myself off, looked at my pants and not a scratch. Absolutely no evidence of trauma to the pants. Later I found a quarter sized abrasion on my knee, a good old skinned knee which scabbed up and everything. The pants were untouched so I must have skinned my knee on the inside of my pants, those are some though pants, like concrete!�� -B. McVickers

�The MK flannel pants have been on no less than five backcountry trips and they worked great for warmth and durability on these backpack deals. They�re not lightweight by any means, but they were not meant to be. The pants were warm, and that's what I had them in my backpack for. They were the first thing I put on in the evenings, and the last thing I took off after the sun came out.�� -R. Shandley

�I have worn Mountain Khakis in some of the most difficult conditions of the world, including our recent expedition to Central America. I am a real fan.�� -S. Brady

�Keep the MK Team fired up - you have guys have great product and I'm proud to wear it daily (and I mean Daily!).�� -A. Mills

"I just wanted to take a minute to thank you all for making such wonderful pants. Over the past three years, I have accumulated four pairs of Teton Twills and a pair of Alpine Utility pants (which still haven't broken in). I am a high school teacher, and the Teton Twills are the perfect pair of pants. Seriously. I am also a huge cyclist (and cycling fan), and I would like to thank you for sponsoring the MK team. I had a chance to see them in Charlotte last year at the Criterium race. Thanks again for making the best pair of pants in the world!"� -P. Bird

"My very serious complements on your MK Teton belt and buckle. Much more than I expected. Excellent craftsmanship, superb materials, wonderful design, excellent fit. Altogether an excellent product, and much better than one might have expected given the price." -D. Shafe

"Best work clothes made, except Filson, love your MK utility paints. Three years and still looking good. Maybe a few more years and I will have to buy some more. Keep up the great quality."� -J. Etheridge

"Just thought I would drop you guys a line to say thanks for all the great service and above all GREAT PANTS! I recently bought a pair of MK Alpine Utilities and rushed out not long after putting them on and bought another pair from the great fellers' down there at your local Mountain Hideaway here in Lubbock, TX. You customer service is by far the best! I say this because I had some problems with the sizing on a couple of pairs of the OMP and you guys worked with Mountain Hideaway to swap them with no cost or wait to me. This simple action on MK's part makes me a loyal customer. I hope you guys realize how great a dealer you have in Mountain Hideaway. Thank you very much and keep making the AUP's, cuz I'm gonna keep buying them! P.S. I now own about 5 pair of MK's and only discovered these pants less than a year ago! HA!" -J. Huddleston

"Just picked up a few pair of your pants at REI, they are amazing! They fit and look great and the quality is impressive! Thank you! I'm looking for to picking up some more pieces in the future! Cheers!"� -T. Samuels

"Just wanted to say that I'm beyond impressed with your khakis. I've got a pair of the Originals that I've been wearing virtually non-stop while on a motorcycle trip to South America... once in a town I'll always throw them on and ride around, always using the hidden pocket for my wallet. The comfort in the crotch is golden, the gusset works wonders."� -T. Litsey

"Just bought another pair. Love em. My favorite of all time!"� -F. Wood

"Dear Mountain Khakis, I have been a backpacking guide throughout the southwest for about 4 years now as well as doing some contract work for the BLM. Starting off with this type of work I was all into the synthetics and lightweight stuff. After many pieces of clothing shredding on the rock walls of Flagstaff, or multi-day trips in the Grand Canyon, I sought a new change to my recreational wardrobe. For years I have been struggling to find the right pair of thick, burly, looks-best-covered-in-nature, cotton pants. mmmmmmmmmmm. After hearing about Mountain Khakis, I decided to purchase a pair of your Original Mountain Pants and HOLY TEEWINOT PEAK!!! I absolutely LOVE these pants. I have never seen burly pants look and feel so good! I slam my PBR into yours with a wild "CHEERS" Mountain Khakis. The panels are not flashy, the re-enforcements are PERFECT, they fit like no other company does, they make me look great and feel confident on the trail, at the crag, on the bike, playing disc golf, or playing pool at the bars. I cannot help but recommend your brand to EVERY guide or outdoorsman i know. Keep up the high quality and great attitude. Thanks for the simple yet staunch pants I have been looking for."� -R. Totoonchie

"Good on you guys for getting behind and sponsoring a bike team!"� -C. Batson
