We design durable everyday pants. After two successful Kickstarter campaigns and thousands of satisfied customers, we’re back with a customer-requested follow-up for sustainable pants that do it all.

EcoTrek Trail Pants are fully-synthetic tech pants made with 70% recycled ocean waste and a modern, tailored fit. They’re so versatile you can replace jeans, slacks, and outdoor pants with one pair of EcoTreks without compromising on style, functionality, or comfort.

Plus, the lifetime warranty ensures they withstand all your adventures or you get a new pair or at-cost repair.

With 3 colors to choose from – Olive, Charcoal, and Caramel – there’s an option for everyone.

At LIVSN, our mission is to empower you to own less and live more. We want you to experience all this world has to offer—while respecting nature. As our company has grown, so has our sustainability initiative.

We’ve successfully launched 2 pairs of technical pants on Kickstarter and we’re back with our most innovative and sustainable pants yet.

Our customers asked for fully synthetic pants that can go on extended hikes in both wet and cold conditions – so we got to work!

After a long search, we found a material that can withstand the elements, keep you comfortable, and look amazing while carrying all the technical features you need. EcoTrek Trail Pants are made from Blue Ocean Nylon, a durable fabric that’s lightweight and breathable, and withstands cold, hot, and wet conditions.

Our EcoTrek Trail Pants are even more comfortable and versatile than our previous line of pants and we’ve sent them to REAL people to prove it:

Blue Ocean Nylon is a synthetic, nylon thread that’s made from 70% ocean waste (specifically old buoys). The used or discarded buoys are recycled locally in Taiwan, which reduces the carbon footprint in the transportation of raw material. Plus, it’s applying for the Global Recycled Standard certificate!

The material that makes our pants sustainable is also what makes them so exceptional.

Your pants aren’t just sustainable and built to last, they’re backed by our Fair Deal Guarantee. We keep all LIVSN pants out of the landfill with our courteous warranty and replacement programs.

THE FIT

EcoTrek Trail Pants fit well on most body types. They’re tailored slim, but definitely not like Portland skinny jeans. They fit well on an athletic build and scale appropriately as the sizing grows, giving room for bigger builds. Sizes top out at 38×34 in waist/inseam. We also designed the roll-up system to be hemmable without any loss of function.

THE FUNCTION

Your favorite technical features like roll-up cuffs, zippered pockets, water/stain resistance, quick-drying, and breathability are all incorporated into what looks like your most stylish pair of slacks. These pants aren’t baggy or pocket heavy—they’re ridiculously stylish technical pants with higher abrasion resistance and less odor accumulation than comparable polyester fabrics.

EcoTreks have strong reinforcements at all common failure points. The back pockets, front pockets, seams, and hardware are all reinforced to last as long as possible. Use and abuse them—they can take it.

EcoTrek Trail Pants are as comfortable as your favorite pair of sweats. The lightweight, breathable material makes them pleasant in even the hottest conditions and the relaxed fit makes them comfortable to wear with long underwear in the winter.

You never know what you’ll face when you’re hiking or camping out, and that’s why it’s important to have protective pants that can withstand the elements. Rain, snow, rocks, and dust—EcoTreks can handle it all while giving you convenient technical features.

Our top customers are climbers for a reason—we design climbing pants that, well, look way better than climbing pants.

You’ll love EcoTreks for travel because of their low maintenance and high-end comfort.

• Ultimate comfort when you’re in the car for days or on a plane for hours
• Low maintenance means you can wash them in the sink
• Lightweight & versatile means you have more room for souvenirs in your luggage

No need for suffocating lycra in yet another pair of skin-tight cycling pants. Slip into EcoTreks for your daily commute or long-distance trek. The roll-up cuff system with 3M reflective tape keeps your pant legs out of your chain, and the gusseted crotch and articulated knee design ensure there are no rips, discomfort, or unflattering stretched out knees.

With abrasion resistance, an EDC pocket, and a zippered phone pocket-EcoTreks make a perfect pair of fishing pants. Hop into a boat or put your waders on over them, you’ll look good, feel good, and have easy access to all your essentials.

EcoTrek Trail Pants pair perfectly with a button-down for a night on the town, dinner date, or coffee shop meeting.

If business casual is your attire, EcoTreks will be your new favorite work pants. No one will look twice when you saunter into work wearing your favorite weekend adventure pants.

Our mission is to build durable and versatile outdoor clothing that encourages people to wear it more, keep it longer, and spend more time outdoors.

With 83% of clothing ending up in landfills or incinerators, we’re not out to make products “just because” or add to the clutter of apparel waste. Instead, we make long-lasting clothing that can be worn in multiple use-cases while utilizing environmentally-friendly materials!

When you buy LIVSN products, you can feel good about where you’re spending your money and what you’re putting on your body—and that’s never been more true than with our EcoTrek Trail Pants.

We will have stock for exchanges if you need to order a different size after delivery.

New to Indiegogo? No problem. Follow these simple steps to get your own EcoTrek Trail Pants.

At the end of the campaign, we’ll send you a survey to get your color, size, and shipping information, and deliver your EcoTrek Trail Pants when manufacturing is complete! We’ve delivered on all our previous products and communicate to you every step of the way!

You can feel comfortable knowing we are backed by Techstars, “the worldwide network that helps entrepreneurs succeed.” Our experience going through the Austin ’19 accelerator program gives us the tools and guidance we need to be a strong company for years to come.

The name LIVSN comes from the Swedish word “livsnjutare,” which roughly translates to “one who lives life deeply; an enjoyer of life.” This journey started with a mission to simplify our belongings. With less to manage there’s more time in the day, and with more time comes flexibility. We know we won’t regret more time outside with friends and family.

We believe clothing should perform well, look good, be ethically made, be environmentally friendly – and it should last. We want to own fewer, well-built things, and repair them before replacing them.

We make good clothing, we make it with tried and true methods, and we make it with high-quality fabrics.

DURABILITY & REPAIRABILITY

One of our main beliefs at LIVSN is that a product that performs well and stands up to extended use is as sustainable as it gets. By buying once and with intention, we’re able to consume less. We’re designing our products so that when life happens and they inevitably fail, they can be repaired.

STYLE AND DYNAMIC USE

Our way of approaching sustainable style is to use classic silhouettes, refined and tested materials, and clean, modern fits. We want you as the wearer to feel special, but not to call attention to it. What we want is for you to be able to wear LIVSN clothing to the trail, to the pub, or to the (casual) office and not look out of place. When we use technical fabrics and construction, we work to hide those details in a casual look.

FABRIC SELECTION

We choose our fabrics because they were the best available for the job, trying to source organic and recycled when we can. Some pieces here don’t utilize recycled or organic materials because we aren’t able to hit the scale needed, but we promise we will switch to recycled and organic as soon as we’re able.

THE END RESULT

We hope to come out in the end with something unique, but also familiar. A refined collection dedicated to the highest standards of craftsmanship and mindfulness. We hope you share our values and will help us in our journey to keep what matters.
