Why We Love This Deal
Vuori has done a fantastic job of integrating its lifestyle branding into everyday wardrobe essentials that are not only comfortable, but look good enough to sport in casual office environments. Case in point are these Barren Explorer pants, and thanks to REI (which has also quietly marked down the brand’s stellar joggers and athletic tees), they’re 20% off.
Now just $102 at REI, the Vuori Barren Explorer Pants are versatile enough for hiking and exploration, as well as more relaxed settings, thanks to their stylish, rugged design. They come in gray and off-white for neutral tones, and in a more mountainous army green, too.

These pants are built tough, with a performance stretch-woven canvas (a cotton-, poly-, elastane-blend) that quickly dries, wicks moisture, and moves with ample ease and stretch without feeling flimsy. They feature a relaxed fit through the seat and thigh, which then tapers from the knee down, to a more neutral length of 30 inches (taller folks take note), plus come with an elastic waistband and cord strings. They have two hand pockets, one vertical zippered thigh pocket, and two rear pockets (one regular and one zippered).
These aren’t joggers like the brands' Kore pants, and they’re not true hiking pants like REI’s own Trailmade pants. Instead, they’re a true do-it-all hybrid option that offers more structure than most Vuori offerings, but still delivers that signature comfort the brand is known for.

What Shoppers Are Saying
While there are only a handful of reviews, they’re still a pretty solid choice, especially considering this rare discount. They have nearly all five-star ratings and 100% would recommend it to a friend.
The lone reviewer noted that these pants have a “great” fit and that the fabric has enough stretch to make them “comfortable for all day wear.”
Discounts on Vuori are few and far between, which is why these markdowns lately are such a big deal, and these Barren Explorer pants deliver just that with solid, real-world performance. Sizes are going to start disappearing fast, so make sure you grab your favorite color while you still can.
