The ROC collection has been around the block, bringing tough-wearing pants to your daily-wear closet since the early 2000s. The “Rugged Outdoor Collection” (ROC) is Columbia’s answer to everyday gear that can transition from the office to the trail as soon as you clock out.
The ROC pants are full of thoughtful design features, from the no-back-gap waistband for women to handy zipper storage features and reflective details for your after-dark bike commute. Plus, they’re made in styles that are ready for the office, from the classic chinos to wide legs, joggers, and more.

Columbia ROC Pants
These pants are built for out there, but they style for in here. They combine comfort, durability, and utility with the goal of making the most rugged and versatile pants you can find.
Some styles — like the men’s Tech Cargo pants and men’s Tech Chino pants — have Omni-Shield water and stain repellent tech that repels water (and your spilled to-go coffee), preventing the fabric from absorbing or staining.
Women’s styles are made with a no-back-gap waistband, which is specially designed to fit your curves and contours without the dreaded back gap. Plus, durable stretch keeps you moving from bike commute to rock scramble.
Both men’s and women’s styles feature additional zipper security pockets for keys and small items, and reflective details on the folded cuff to keep you high-vis in low light. (Think morning and afternoon bike commutes or hiking back to your car after a day on the trail.)
All the ROC pants are made to flex and move with you, whether you’re biking to work, running to catch your next meeting, or hitting the trail after clocking out, these pants go where you do. Plus the high-waisted women’s styles make for a flattering fit wherever you wander.
Women’s ROC Wide Leg Pants
These pants come in five versatile colors, and include that no-back-gap waistband that comes in clutch as the day goes on. Plus, the soft, stretchy cotton blend fabric lets you move while maintaining a structured fit for daily office wear.

Men’s ROC Tech Chino Pants
These chinos look great in the office but send in the mountains, with Omni-Shield water- and stain-repellent tech to keep you dry. The lightweight nylon-blend fabric and comfortable waistband feel like wearing nothing, but are rugged enough to face the trail after a long day in the office.
