“Great find, nice pants, surprise sizing”

“"Size 42" is size 32 inch waist. I usually wear other European size pants in 48, and was unfamiliar with the sizing plan for these. They are spot on 32, and have a little bit of give in the waist. Inseam Length is 32 inches as indicated on STP. These pants have a terrific feel to the fabric, like moleskin or a microsuede, but a little "lighter." So far on one 12 mile hike and one ski day the material has been very durable. They are comfortable with activity, flexing enough to give good range of motion. Not marketed as a ski pant, they performed very well for me, and were warm in 26* F without using a base layer. Surprisingly warm; wind-resistant yet they breathe well. I haven't been in rain per se, but the pants kept me dry in damp weather and getting wet from dew-laden plants on the trail. For me, the only downside has been the narrow belt loops. I usually use 1 1/4" nylon belts in the outdoors, and these are 1" loops--low-lying and tight, barely room for Bison 26 mm belts. Certainly not a deal killer for these pants. Terrific overall.”
