Moose Knuckles is embracing the popularity of utility-inspired fashion with a new lineup of parachute pants that blend technical performance with contemporary design. Part of the brand’s Spring/Summer 2026 collection, the styles reflect growing consumer demand for relaxed silhouettes that prioritize both functionality and versatility.
For women, the Skyline Pants feature a billowy wide-leg silhouette crafted from Moose Knuckles’ ultralight Crinkle fabric. Adjustable drawcord hems allow wearers to customize the shape, while water-repellent, wind-resistant fabric and UPF 50+ protection make the pants suitable for a range of outdoor activities. The Skyline Pants retail for $350 CAD.
The men’s Topflight Pants pair the same lightweight Crinkle fabric with contrast piping, zigzag stitching, and adjustable utility-inspired details. The result is a modern silhouette that balances performance features with everyday wearability. The Topflight Pants are priced at $395 CAD.
Available now online at MooseKnucklesCanada.com and in stores, the collection highlights how technical outerwear brands are increasingly bringing performance fabrics and functional design into everyday fashion.
