FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – February 2, 2021 – LIVSN Designs, an outdoor apparel brand focused on creating durable outdoor clothing for those who value experiences more than stuff, today announces the Kickstarter launch of its new EcoTrek Trail pants, comfortable, high-performance pants tailored to look good in the city and withstand the harshest outdoor conditions.
New Adventure Pants Made from Recycled Ocean Buoys; Water/Stain/Abrasion-Resistant Technical Pants that Do it All in Comfort and Style
The new EcoTreks are water-resistant, sweat-wicking, quick-drying britches perfect for hiking, biking, camping, climbing, cycling or playing in wet, hot, and cold environments, and the modern fit and style also makes them an ideal everyday pant. The EcoTreks use the same fit and many of the features of LIVSN’s popular Flex Canvas pants, with the addition of an internal drawstring waistband and an expanded zippered phone pocket on the thigh.
True to LIVSN’s mission, these all-weather, all-activity pants are so versatile they’re designed to replace multiple pairs of jeans, slacks and outdoor pants with a single pair without compromising style, functionality or comfort. And the new pants provide LIVSN’s borderline crazy attention to detail, including double needle flat felled seams, reinforcements at every common failure point, and construction refinement throughout.
“The EcoTrek pants are truly the result of our customers bringing a need to the table, and asking for a more technical pair built specifically for outdoor pursuits, and after months of work and testing behind the scenes we’re so excited to be launching them,” said Andrew Gibbs-Dabney, founder and CEO, LIVSN Designs. “We’re confident that the EcoTrek pants will quickly become a favorite in the wardrobe because of their perfect mix of features, style, durability, and easy comfort.”
The EcoTrek pants are available in Olive, Caramel, and Charcoal, and in a range of sizes up to 40×34 in waist/inseam.

Suitable for all seasons, the fabric is specifically engineered to draw moisture away from the body, reducing body temperature and keeping you cool when it’s warm, while high thermal insulation helps to keep you warm on when it’s cold.
The proprietary fabric used in the EcoTrek pants, Blue Ocean Nylon, is a synthetic nylon thread made from 70% ocean waste specifically buoys recovered within 100 miles of the fabric mill, and LIVSN has eliminated all single-use plastics from its packaging.
LIVSN has done two prior Kickstarter launches, both funded successfully, and all products delivered to backers on schedule. With successful funding of the campaign, the EcoTrek pants are expected to be delivered to Kickstarter backers in September, 2021.
“LIVSN was born on Kickstarter, and we owe everything to the backers and friends who have supported us. Launching the EcoTreks on Kickstarter allows us to offer the pants at a discounted rate up front while also helping to ensure that we don’t overproduce,” added Gibbs-Dabney. “We believe that sustainable fashion should be something we do more than talk about, and the EcoTrek pants demonstrate that we’re doing everything we can to bring sustainable products to market that use recycled materials, mitigate the need to buy additional products, and will serve for years based on their durability as well as our lifetime guarantee and at-cost repair program.”
