WORKWEAR
Built like performance gear, worn like your go-to casuals.
The Bowline Pants are light, tough, quick-dry, and stain-resistant— designed to handle the water but look just as good at the bar.
Constructed from HYDRAFUSE™ TOUGHSTRETCH™ fabric, the Bowline Pants deliver superior breathability and wick moisture away from the skin—making them ideal for layering under waterproof bibs or pants in winter. Whether worn solo or as a base layer, they help regulate temperature and keep you dry through long sessions on deck and everything that follows.
Durable, versatile, and ready for anything—these are the only fishing pants you’ll reach for, on and off the water.
Specs: 100% Polyester, Straight/Tapered Leg Cut, Angled Waist/Side Seam Pocket, Zippered Fly, Two Back Patch Pockets, Belt Loops, Recycled Packaging.
Fit Guide
