BEST FOR COMMUTES: Swrve Indigo Cordura Skinny Fit
The dirty secret of some mass-market biking jeans: You pedal home in a much looser pair than you started the day in. But not with Swrve’s version—its tough Cordura holds its shape despite offering plenty of stretch. The extra give and a higher waist in back make them ideal for even the longest bike commute.
BEST FOR YOGA (SERIOUSLY): Duer Performance Denim Slim

Vancouver-based Duer imparts a load of tech into workday jeans: It starts with lightweight denim, then weaves in Coolmax moisture-wicking fibers, plenty of spandex, and a silver-based, stink-fighting antimicrobial. The result is flexible enough that you could fire off down dogs while wearing them.
BEST FOR HIKING: Backcountry Denim Classic Fit

If you like the look of old-school selvedge but want something even tougher, try a pair of this Marin County startup’s jeans. They’re built to last two and a half times the lifespan of your standard department-store pair, and they have double-reinforced, wallet-proof pockets in back.
BEST FOR YARD WORK: Redew Ravin
[post_ads]Made with organic cotton, recycled polyester, and Lycra, these Swedish jeans offer enough flex and comfort to keep on for a full year (although we don’t recommend it). They’d likely look no different at the end: A treatment on the fabric prevents fading. The fit is roomy, but Redew offers slimmer cuts.
BEST FOR CLIMBING: Mountain Hardwear Crux Jean
[post_ads]Sure, every rip and tear tells a story, but wouldn’t you just rather have pants that are rock-proof? The Cruxes are just that, thanks to ultrastrong Dyneema fibers. (The Backcountry Denims use the stuff, too.) Order a size down (they fit loose), and don’t expect to buy jeans again for a while.
