The subtle patterned detail on the side of Columbia Sportswear's 'Trail Flash Capri' might seem to be purely decorative, but this is what makes the reflective pants visible at night.
In addition to being ideal for use in low-light conditions to ensure visibility when walking or running, the pants feature a number of other features that enhance protection and safety. The pants themselves are made from a lightweight blend of polyester and black elastane jersey, which gives them a comfortable four-way stretch and a silky feel. The water-resistant Omni-WICK fabric also does its duty to wick sweat and moisture away from the body, so that it can evaporate quickly and leave wearers feeling dry.
The Trail Flash Capri also features an adjustable interior drawcord, as well as pockets to securely transport small valuables. In line with the high demand for stylish athleisure apparel, this all-in-one design makes it easy to transition from the yoga studio to the trail, to the street and beyond.
