This is the pair of pants I’ve been looking for. Very lightweight, durable, quick drying and doesn’t wet out badly. I’ve now had a pair for a season, and am very hard on them. I’ve used it to climb offwidths, slog up glaciers, run trails, bike around town, and watch movies on the couch. Easily my favorite pair of pants.
I mostly wear it in mild to warm temperatures. It offers a little bit of wind protection on otherwise warm days.
Note that the “bonded” pocket is not very durable. Mine came unbonded quickly, but I sewed it back and it has lasted well.
I’ll buy another pair when this one finally gives up the ghost.
