Portal Pant Discussed with our Founder and CEO Todd.
OTTE Gear Portal Pant – Summer-Ready Stretch Tactical Pant
From Todd, Founder of OTTE Gear
Summer's here, and so is our newest warm-weather pant designed for movement, breathability, and tactical utility. Meet the OTTE Gear Portal Pant. You know when you stumble upon something that is a little different, a tad bit evolutionary but not quite enough to make you re-evaluate your life? That's the new OG Portal Pant, named after the Mt. Whitney Portal trail where it was first tested in dry desert conditions. The Nylon/Spandex fabric has a cool hand feel and 4-way stretch intended to make it a great warm-weather hiking pant that moves with your body in active scenarios. However, over the winter our cadre came back with more intel - the Portal is also f*#king great in the cold, especially if you are Type A/never stop moving kind of guy.
Watch the video below for a walkthrough of the Portal Pant's best features, as explained by OTTE Gear founder Todd:

Hey guys, it's Todd from OTTE Gear.
I want to talk to you about a great new summertime pant we've got called the Portal Pant. It's made from an unbelievable four-way stretch fabric—92% nylon, 8% spandex—that moves with your body and feels great in hot temperatures.
Some of the great features: It has a drop-in zippered cargo pocket that's perfect for a phone or a mag. There's a second cargo pocket that's great for a bulkier item like a knit cap, gloves, or a bandana.
The belt loops are offset, so if you're carrying appendix, it won’t interfere with your holster. The pant has a diamond-gusseted crotch for great range of motion—whether you’re climbing, hiking, or just moving hard.
You’ve got two rear back pockets for your wallet, and the pants come in Charcoal, Ranger Green, and Coyote.
It’s available now at ottegear.com.
