How warm does it have to be for these to be unbearable?
Thanks
Thanks
I used them this year during October in Idaho for elk. I like them. They are probably not something I would wear in 75+ degree weather, but they breathe decently well. I pulled the kneepads because I found them annoying (I also own the mountain pants and did the same thing), but the reinforced material on the knees and back are nice as I am constantly grinding them through rough areas. They have taken a beating so far and I haven't noticed anything falling apart or any holes yet. I like that the side hip pockets have a zipper whereas the mountain pants do not. They aren't the lightest pants, but I am pretty sure the purpose was to be more rugged, which has so far panned out to be true. The target time for when I use these pants is October or later in the mountains when the temperature is below 60.
Very impressive pants. I have put mine through hell for 3yrs now. Only holes are from crossing barbed wire fences. I would say I have over 100 days in them. I do know they are not as water repellant as new but that can be expected. I have worn them in 70 degree weather. About my high limit. With heavy weight first lite base layer I comfortably
wore them to -20. I would recommend them to anyone. I am going to purchase another pair this year for upcoming season.
Care to share where the crazy deal is at?
