The North Face Himalayan Pant

Aloha ...

i bought these pants to be able to sit around outside in cold weather ...

We're gearing up for a Van RV life ...

Plus ... i'm trying to spend less money on heating bills at home ...

These pants are top of the line ... Pricey!!!

but BaseGear.com 20% off ... e-mail sign-up ... made them more affordable ...

That being said ... WOW !!! NICE !!!

The construction is what you should get at this price ... The only glitch i see in them is the bottom leg opening ...could have a draw string or velcro closure or something to tighten a little more ... easily fixed [ and if i was having them custom made i'd have some big outer pockets ]

My main concern before buying was ... They might be too warm ...Not much room in a small RV for 2 people and stuff ...Need the most versatility you can get out of everything ... and i have a somewhat a narrow range of HeatCold comfort ...

Receiving them yesterday ... i've wore them last night sitting around the house ...and outside this morning having coffee ... reading ... With sweat pants underneath and sweat shirt \ 650 down fill sweater on top ...

The temperature 45-55 ... S. Calif. [ wet cold ]i had the leg + hip zippers basically wide open ...but connected at the ankle ...Walked around briskly for 5 minutes testing ... The inner thigh built up just a very slight heat ...Walking and sitting they were very comfortable ... All the zippered openings will give the versatility needed for me ...

So ... i'm keeping them ...

This body ... 6' ... 160 lbs ... [ slim frame ] i got a large ... fits a little loose [ the way i want it ] and would fit a body ... 6' 6" or so ... plenty of suspender adjustment

As for the cold range ??? To be tested this winter ...
