Chimney Venting™ System – Dramatically improves airflow through the pant, reducing both heat and humidity while greatly increasing breathability.

This StretchVent™ allows cool, dry air to flow in as heated, moist air rises and exits upper thigh vents, producing continuous airflow and managing heat.
