Definitely impressed with the shipping speeds.
I opted for the British DPM camo color way in an XL.
I normally wear an L or an XL with lots of room to spare.
These fit kind of strange because the fact the waist band is elastic like a pair of sweat pants.
According to the size chart length does not change between L and XL.
These are definitely long but in true sweat pants fashion they have elastic around the ankles.
There is one massive oversight I noticed immediately, there is no fly.
Other than that my initial impressions are great.
Everything feels quality especially in a pair of sub $200 pants.
They are insulated and feel pretty warm but we will get to that in the on snow portion.
Pockets are huge (strangely mine had a teabag in one pocket?
Bloody Brits I guess) and cargo pockets are massive.
Another thing you might notice looking at the pants is the shoe string suspenders.
In the golden days I had many of shoe string suspenders and belts.
Brits and their tea…. About a foot of snow had melted and make the parking lot of the hill a Shrek inspired swamp.
But the down side to that is they are pants and will fall down with 6 beers loaded.
1 fucking belt loop.
A draw string can only do so much.
I am not sure why you would only but one belt loop on the pants too.
I guess it is for something else but damn.
I managed to get 8 days in with the pants.
The pants are extremely comfortable and never feel too heavy.
Durability:
I have not noticed any damage to the pants in the time I have rode them.
Cuffs stayed damage free thanks to the elastic.
No seams ripping or pockets tearing.
If I come across any major issues I will report back.
The Bottom Line:
They are pants.
They are not super tech.
At $180 its pretty hard not to recommend a pair of these.
The price point alone should be a major selling point.
Gotta say I am impressed.
8 cat turds in the litter box for these pants.
