Reliable As Ever — Small Tweaks, Still My Favorite Pants

As always, the Smith Summit Pants deliver. This is my third pair, and I’ve owned every generation so far. The new version definitely runs larger — in previous generations, size L felt consistent across models, but this time L fits more like an XL from the older ones. The redesigned knee pockets are now placed more toward the front of the thigh instead of the side. I’m still getting used to this change and not sure yet if I prefer it, but the functionality seems about the same. I’m happy they brought back the snap button on the rear pocket — much better than the zipper from V2. The single-layer knee pockets are still a small letdown compared to the older double-pocket design. The added soft, stretchy lining on the inside of the waistband is a nice touch — feels great and adds comfort for all-day wear. Overall, still one of the best pairs of pants I’ve ever owned. Just one small wish — it would be nice if Nike added some ACG stickers in the box! Greetings from Ukraine 🇺🇦

Finally A Good Rugged Tech Pant.

The best technical pants I have ever owned. Finally a product that doesn't fall short anywhere. Of course there are hiking pants and stuff that are maybe even more comfortable but if you are looking a rugged tech pant this is it.

I dont have these pants, ACG please stop teasing us. release this jacket and everything else you are showing on the models but not listing on the website, this is frustrating.
