The Best Men's Travel Pants for Comfort and Style

Lululemon's ABC Classic-Fit Pant is tailored for style, but constructed with its patented "Warpstreme" fabric that's designed to stretch and move with you, whether you're adjusting your position on a long flight or sightseeing your way through Europe.

Reviewers rave about how comfortable these pants are, plus they also have helpful features like back security pockets and a reflective strip to help cars spot you if you're walking around after dark. And we'd venture to guess you will be, since they look great during the day paired with a simple T-shirt and sneakers, but can easily be elevated with a dressier shirt for the evening.

They come in an impressive 13 shades, so you can pack the pair that best matches the majority of your clothing — or, more likely, stock up on a few colors.

You don't have to spend a ton of money to find a comfy pair of travel pants with plenty of function. These joggers are made of a lightweight polyester and spandex blend that wearers say allows air to flow right through the fabric, helping to keep them cool no matter where their travels take them.

Reviewers say they have plenty of flex for added comfort, too, with an elastic waist that is easily adjustable with a drawstring. Meanwhile, the tapered ankle cuff shouldn't be at all restrictive and the stretch of the fabric means they're not prone to wrinkling.

To help keep your valuables safe en route, the joggers also have a hidden zippered pocket on the right-hand side that's perfectly-sized for a phone or passport.

It's no surprise sportswear brand Columbia makes some of the most popular pants for active men. This style has a relaxed fit that wearers say is nice and comfortable, whether you're sitting on the airplane or trekking through bucket-list destinations. You'll appreciate that the elastic waist pulls on easily and a belt keeps everything nice and secure.

Designed to be lightweight and moisture-wicking, we're impressed by the overall functionality of these pants, made with a quick-dry finish and offering UPF 50+ protection against the sun's rays. They also have a variety of pockets, including hand pockets on the front, cargo pockets on the back and zippered pockets above the knees.

For a more utilitarian style that lends itself to long days sightseeing or adventures like hiking, try these relaxed fit pants. They're made from nylon and spandex so they're designed to be wrinkle-resistant and breathable. Plus, with a water-repellant and quick-drying finish, they should keep you comfortable in all kinds of weather conditions.

Adding to your all-day comfort, the pair has adjustable stretchy waist complete with a belt to help you find the perfect fit. And no matter how active your day is, you can be confident your essentials will stay put, thanks to zippered pockets at the sides and the back to keep everything safe and secure — no matter how much you're moving around or how crowded the city streets are.

When multiple reviewers tout them as their "favorite pants of all time," you know you've stumbled upon something good.

Eddie Bauer's Switch joggers are made from ultra-lightweight polyester so they're designed to be breathable and wear well — even in hot weather. And, like all great men's travel pants, wearers say they have no trouble packing them. They also feature an elastic waistband complete with a drawstring to help you nail the fit.

For warmer destinations like Australia or the tropics, the pants have the added benefit of sun protection, since the fabric is rated UPF 50+. They also claim to be moisture-wicking and quick-drying in case you find yourself working up a sweat.

If you're comfiest in sweatpants but don't want to look like a schlub, opt for a more tailored style that tapers at the legs, like this pair from Mack Weldon. The brand is known for manufacturing great basics, and these cozy pants are no exception. They're made with soft terry cotton, so you should have no trouble getting comfy for a snooze on an overnight airplane ride.

Still, the sweatpants are functional enough for everyday wear and feature an elastic drawstring waist to help you get the right fit. Plus, in addition to the two hip pockets, these pants also have two back pockets and a discreet zip pocket for valuables on the right leg.

When you want to look sharp on a long flight, but don't want to sacrifice your own comfort to do so, try these J.Crew pants. Though they look just like any other pair of dress pants, they're made from a fabric blend that includes 10% elastane for plenty of stretch. There's also an interior elastic panel at the waist for added give.

The slant pockets are ripe for traveling, too. With a breathable mesh construction, there's also a hidden zip pocket to keep your most precious valuables safe on the go.

It's no surprise reviewers love this pair so much that many say they've stocked multiple pairs in a range of colors. (Choose from seven shades!)

With the right pair of joggers, you can strike the perfect balance between style and comfort. These relaxed, wider-fit joggers have the same tapered style you know and love, but offer a little more room to move around.

The cotton and elastane fabric is lightweight and breathable, and will help you remain comfortable even during hot weather. Still, the pair has a special Teflon coating designed to improve the strength and stain-resistance of the pants.

Reviewers say they're great for activity like biking, hiking and more — but plenty also praise their comfort. One wearer says they were the perfect pair of pants for a long travel day that included multiple flights and layovers.

Zip-off pants are one of the most versatile styles of men's travel pants — especially for those heading to destinations where it's cool in the mornings and evenings, but blazing hot during the day. (Think: an African safari or an adventure in Australia's bush.)

This lightweight pair of cargo pants zips right off at the knee to instantly transform from pants to shorts. They also have zippered panels mid-way up the calf, so you can turn the pants into a pair of floods rather than full-blown shorts.

No matter how you wear them, they're made to pull on easily and come with a belt to help keep them firmly in place through rigorous activity. They're designed to be durable, too — the four-way stretch fabric is touted as being both wind- and water-resistant.
