And the socks wow so comfortable !!! Thank u will sure be ordering more a 5 star experience!

If you're looking for the perfect combination of comfort and durability for a long-distance hike, the Krakatoa Haleakala Trunks deserve serious consideration. I wore these trunks for the entirety of my 211-mile John Muir Trail hike, and they exceeded my expectations in several key areas.

Comfort:

The first thing that stood out was how comfortable these trunks were, even after long days on the trail. The soft, lightweight fabric felt great against my skin, preventing chafing—a major plus when you're trekking for hours on end with a loaded pack. The fit was secure without being restrictive. Even during the hottest parts of the day, the breathability of the fabric kept me cool, and the material wicked away sweat effectively, ensuring I stayed dry.

Endurance:

Equally impressive was the durability of the Haleakala Trunks. Over the course of 211 miles, through rough terrain, stream crossings, and varying weather conditions, the trunks held up incredibly well. They showed no signs of wear, even after repeated exposure to the elements. The reinforced stitching and quality of materials ensured that they didn’t tear or degrade, and their quick-drying properties were a lifesaver when encountering streams or sweat. I never had to worry about them slowing me down.

Final Thoughts:

The Krakatoa Haleakala Trunks are the perfect companion for long-distance hikes like the John Muir Trail. They provide excellent comfort during long days, and their endurance against the elements is…

Very comfy, holds the boys well, and is smooth as silk. I’m 5’8”, 165, 30 waist, and the mediums are not too tight nor loose. I got a small in another style (black Pinatubo’s) and they’re tighter but still comfy. So if you’re my size, it’s really just a preference as to how you like them to fit. I prefer the Pinatubo’s for the horizontal fly but the bigger pouch on the Haleakala’s adds additional space for my XL package. I kinda like the green better than the black cause it shows my pouch better — I feel more virile. Both have the affirming words on the inseam which is awesome.

I’m 6’2” and 170lbs I wear a size 33 waist pant. I ordered a size small and the fit is perfect. Here is my review after wearing for a couple weeks. The material is so soft you could easily forget you were wearing anything. The package support is top notch and very flattering. The wider waistband is nice and definitely prevents it from rolling when you bend over. My only complaint is there aren’t more colors to pick from. All in all I’m switching over from the previous “pouch” trunks I used to use to these.
