The Bluffworks Envoy Lightweight Travel Pants rank first because they pack the most travel-specific storage into a pant that still looks like a chino. Bluffworks lists 9 pockets, including 2 phone pockets and 5 zippered pockets, which covers a passport, cards and a phone without a money belt. The fabric is a 6.2 oz per yard blend of 57% recycled polyester, 33% polyester and 10% spandex, described as breathable, wrinkle resistant, moisture wicking and quick drying with 4-way stretch and anti-UV properties. It is machine washable and comes in Regular and Slim fits, and the store offers free US shipping and free domestic returns. The price is $138, the same as the Bluffworks Ascender Chino and the Vuori Meta Pant. The trade-offs: Outdoor Research and KÜHL publish a UPF 50+ rating while Bluffworks does not give a number, and the Ferrosi Transit costs $33 less. We compared documented features and published prices and did not test the pants.
