Bought these pants on sale to try a different option from the looser technical pants I’ve purchased here that need hemming. The waistband is stretchy and sturdy and there is a drawstring cord, but it fits and looks better. (Waistband will be a limiting factor to get the proper sizing). The legs taper and look like modern joggers. The ankle cuffs are a little stretchy but you may have some difficulty adjusting socks etc.
They are definitely 3 season pants at the very least and I can wear them for casual or physical activities. They are quite breathable but provide good wind and water resistance. Minimal bulk and lightweight, but the material feels quite tough and doesn’t seem like it will wear down or pile. Can wear it multiple times without needing to wash.
Recently, I forgot my neoprene pants for paddleboarding in the winter (high 50s water and air temp). I keep a pair of these pants around and they saved me! Wore neoprene shorts and these pants over them. I’m impressed w how dry I was even when stepping calf deep in water briefly and getting constantly splashed in the wind and waves. Did not feel “wet” at all!
I had bought a second pair already prior to this, but it is definitely an impressive piece for such a great price!
Great jacket, was way thinner/lighter then expected but works as an awesome waterproof jacket. I use this for one of my main pieces of gear when hiking and it has been doing it job very well. Would definitely recommend to friends/family.
Seems like a great base layer. However the material had no give and felt restricted when wearing.
