"I was introduced to these pants by an older man who uses them to hunt sheep in northern Alaska. He said they blocked enough wind to keep you warm but he'd never overheat. I eventually bought a pair and am on my way to owning enough to get me through a week!

I find they are most comfortable in cooler temperatures between 40-65 degrees."

"These have been a great pant. They are super stretchy and very breathable. I must say that I have been amazed at how well they went, I've never had any better. The fit is perfect for me, not too baggy, but not tight either.

The only complaint I have is they're not that durable."
