Haggar Cool 18 Pro Classic Fit Pleat Front Pant (Style B3NJ)

Our review of the Haggar Cool 18 Pro Classic Fit Pleat Front Pant finds it best suited to men who need a dependable, comfortable dress pant for work, travel or weekend golf. The single biggest reason to buy is comfort: the Cool 18 Pro fabric blends 4-way stretch with moisture wicking and a hidden expandable waistband that stretches up to 3 in, so these pants move with you and stay presentable without ironing. They feel lightweight in warm weather yet retain a structured, classic look when paired with a dress shirt or polo.

Key Features

• Cool 18 Pro fabric: Provides 4-way stretch and moisture wicking so the pant moves with you and dries quickly after activity.
• Wrinkle resistant: The no-iron construction keeps the pant looking sharp from morning meetings through afternoon activities with minimal upkeep.
• Hidden expandable waistband: Stretches up to 3 in to maintain comfort during long days and after meals without sacrificing a tailored appearance.
• UV protection: Built-in protection helps outdoors wearers stay comfortable in sun-exposed settings such as golf or commuting.
• Thoughtful details: Offseam front pockets, a single welt back pocket and a shirt gripper keep essentials secure and shirts tucked neatly.
• Easy care fabrication: The 50% polyester / 50% sorbtek polyester blend is machine washable for low-maintenance wear.

Who It's For

The Cool 18 Pro Classic Fit pant is ideal for men who need a versatile dress pant that performs in warm weather and on active days, such as office professionals who walk between meetings, frequent travelers, or golfers who want a more polished on-course look. The classic fit and pleated front suit those who prefer a relaxed cut through the hip and thigh.

Those who want a very slim, contemporary silhouette or prefer natural fibers exclusively may want to look elsewhere, since this pant emphasizes stretch, performance and easy care over a skinny profile or 100% natural fabric content.
