In this video, Alex Nicoll gets real about BYLT’s Everyday Pant 2.0. He’s six feet tall, 185 pounds, and opted for the slim fit—and he’s got some thoughts. Alex liked the slim fit but warns that the skinny version might be better for guys with leaner legs.
Right out of the bag, Alex felt the fabric. His verdict? It’s soft, thick, and stacks up to higher-end brands like Lululemon’s ABC pants. Stitching is solid too, with no loose threads, giving you that “built to last” feel. Now, about the fit. These are snug, maybe even a bit tighter than slim ABCs. Alex says it’s borderline, but most guys will probably find it works. Plus, the tapered ankle makes them perfect for cuffing—Alex calls it his go-to “French roll” look.
Let’s talk pockets. The usual front and back pockets are here, but Alex digs the side zip pocket—it’s got plenty of room for an iPhone 12 without squeezing. His one gripe? The main pockets aren’t as deep as he’d like, a bit shallow for his taste. And don’t get him started on the zippers. They’ve got a plasticky feel that he suspects was a budget choice.
Alex’s biggest issue? The button.
It’s more like a shirt button, not the solid metal you’d expect. To him, it’s a weak spot that could wear down fast. And he’s not thrilled about the thought of needing a repair for pants at this price.
So, is he recommending them? Not quite. He’s not fully confident in the durability here and says you’re better off with something like Lululemon’s ABCs if you want a no-fuss option. But if BYLT’s your thing, he suggests waiting for a sale. At $120 (or $90 on sale), Alex thinks it’s worth holding out for a discount.
Let’s be real for one second here. Alex is a huge fan of Lululemon, and he’s not shy about it. I’m the opposite, and I have several pieces from BYLT, so I couldn’t be happier about the fit, style, and price, too.
