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’](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moose-knuckles-1) 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.
