Ultimate Technical Apparel: Graphene-X All Rounder Urban & Adventure Pants

When it comes to pushing the boundaries of technical apparel, few brands operate with the relentless material innovation of Graphene-X.

Back in 2022, the brand launched its original All Rounder Pants on Kickstarter, where they instantly became a flagship bestseller among travellers, commuters, and hikers alike.

However, real-world feedback from backers pointed to two distinct needs: better insulation when temperatures plunged, and a cleaner, less “tactical” option suitable for the office.

Listening closely, Graphene-X went back to the laboratory to create the Graphene-X All Rounder Urban & Adventure Pants.

Starting From $115 (~£88), this new dual-release takes a single, upgraded 200 g/m² graphene-integrated fabric and splits it into two purpose-built silhouettes—one tailored for urban subterfuge and the other built for rugged backcountry exploration.

At the core of both pants is an advanced, custom-developed shell fabric combining 92% graphene-integrated nylon with 8% spandex for unrestricted four-way stretch.

At 200 g/m², it is nearly twice the weight of the original version, making it ideal for cooler days.

The integrated graphene yarn works overtime on the trail and during travel: it regulates temperature by distributing heat evenly, provides UPF 50+ sun protection, drastically increases abrasion resistance against rough rock, and naturally repels odour-causing bacteria so you can go longer between washes on multi-day trips.

To combat unpredictable weather, both models feature an eco-friendly, PFAS-free water-repellent coating.

In rigorous laboratory testing, this finish retains its water-beading performance even after 80 washes—outlasting traditional DWR finishes by a mile.

Where the two models diverge is how they display their technical firepower:

  • All Rounder Urban: Designed for seamless transitions from long-haul flights into boardrooms, the Urban model hides its performance beneath a lean, straight-leg cut. It features six completely concealed pockets—four of which are zipped—keeping your phone, passport, and wallet secure through airport security without giving away its technical nature.
  • All Rounder Adventure: Built for days that end with dirt on your knees, the Adventure model puts utility front and centre. It features a full-zip mesh cargo pocket on the left leg, calf ventilation zips to dump heat on steep ascents, and an improved magnetic-flap waterproof pocket on the right leg for sensitive electronics. When the sun beats down, the lower legs zip off effortlessly into shorts without requiring you to take off your shoes—complete with a contrast-coloured zip on one leg so you never mix up left and right.

“By pairing a heavyweight 200 g/m² graphene shell with two distinct silhouettes, Graphene-X creates the ultimate $115 dual-threat pant system for commute and trail.”

Both variations share a movement-focused construction, including a gusseted crotch, YKK zips, an extendable inseam, and a double-snap stretch waistband.

Whether your upcoming itinerary calls for city streets, long-haul flights, or rocky mountain trails, the Graphene-X All Rounder Urban & Adventure Pants (From $115) offer an unbeatable combination of technical innovation and real-world versatility.
