Horny Toad's Houlihan Cargo Pant : Here, There, Everywhere

When I travel, I've got to keep it light, carrying just the bare essentials. I like to fit everything into a backpack, with my money, passport, and tickets secure in my pockets. It's all about keeping my hands free.

On a recent trip to northern Europe, my husband and I spent three weeks on the go, exploring all of the beautiful mountains, wide rolling country sides, and several interesting cities -- whatever we could reach by train. Sometimes I felt a bit like a hobo with all of my possessions in my backpack. For trips like this I need no-fuss clothes that I can wear anywhere and often ... like my Houlihan Cargo pants by Horny Toad.

Each day was different. Some days we hiked, sometimes we biked, and some days we just strolled around town. My Houlihan cargo pants were versatile and perfect for every situation. There were also easy care. I just pulled them out of my pack, gave them a few shakes, and I was good to go. No ironing required.

Horny Toad's Houlihan pants are sturdy, yet still light-weight, comfortable, and fortunately, casual and attractive. They flatter my figure with the low-on-the-hips cut, slightly looser legs, and darts above the rear pockets.

Speaking of pockets, they're probably the best assets these pants offer. The front pockets are roomy enough that I can slip my hands in and out of them easily. I like that the back pockets have button closures that help me keep my stuff in and any opportunistic pickpockets out. Best of all, the button closure cargo pocket on the right pant leg is the ideal size for my passport, wallet, tickets, and iPod. There's also little extra pocket attached to the top of the cargo pocket that's perfect for my Swiss army knife.

Horny Toad stands behind everything they make with lifetime warranties on their products. They also say that if you don't get a compliment on these pants within three wearings, bring them back. Not a problem for me - I've received many!! It's nice to find a company with this kind of integrity and a sense of humor.
