Bonobos tech chinos alternative?
The Bonobos tech chinos were my goto pant for years. They fit me great, were water resistant, lasted a decent amount of time, and were flattering on me. In a word I loved them lol.
Unfortunately it seems like they’ve been discontinued. Does anyone have recommendations for something similar as a replacement?
* budget: ~$140
* location: US for now, will be relocating to Europe next year so some available in both regions would be a plus but not required right now.
* in person or online is fine
* happy to wait for a sale
* prefer to buy new
* usually wear something in the 31/32” waist 30 inseam range. Weight is around 150lbs, height 5.8
* the tech chinos I have were 31x30 in slim
Thanks! 😃

I think most advice givers here would recommend to not buy tech chinos. Is there a particular reason you want tech chinos vs regular chinos?
Agreed - does it have to be strictly “chinos” or are you looking for technical pants that fits with office casual wear?
Foehn could be up your alley:

Also uses Schoeller fabric. Outlier, Theory does too but it has a higher price point. I know you want new but you can get really, really nice deals with second hand if you go for Outlier/Veilance stuff and are prob much nicer than Bonobos.

Men's Brise Schoeller® Chino Pant
New chapter in our best-selling Brise performance pant story. Brise collection now expands to chino slacks, aka khakis, that shows class in a techy makeover of a classic silhouette. Stretchy, extremely tough Schoeller® fabric turns the time-honored style loose to get active in the great outdoors and not show it before
Lululemon is quite popular for tech “chinos”
I suggest Lululemon ABC pants or even Comission pants
Lululemon service is excellent and they always replace your pants no questions asked
Online you can get it 80$ new, I saw a seller on ebay selling for that much
I believe either ABC or commission has tech fabric, but I recommend warpstream instead
Good question! Mainly I like the water resistance of “tech” stuff during the winter seasons. It rains a lot here and it’s nice to be somewhat dry and decent looking when I arrive somewhere lol
Thanks, will take a look! 👍
Cool will take a look at these too!
I would also check out the brand Western Rise
Warpstream is very resistant to everything
