“Follow-Up”

“I just returned from a 3 day excursion with my friends. We were at Bear Mountain & Harriman State Parks where we backpacked exclusively. I started out in a pair of OR pants that I picked up at Campmor earlier this year. They were fine while the weather was warm but when a cold front came through with high winds and much cooler temps they were history. I broke out my Marmot Scree pants and was the envy of my friends. These pants ARE what most people, who venture out beyond Summer, truly need. They allow you to wear your own belt, they move with you like a great pair of gloves and they have just enough moxy to keep you feeling comfortable when the weather turns cool. I did not sweat in these while ascending or descending nor did they rub me the wrong way under my Gregory Z65 hipbelt. For the Ultralight backpacking purist these pants will be a little too heavy. But, for the person who wants comfort and performance these work great. I am over 50 and will not sacrifice on comfort. I can honestly say that my friends who are also over 50 were ready to call STP when they got home just so they could get a pair for themselves. Like me, some read these comments and think someone from the company is posing here and trying to push their wares. I own my home improvement business in Montclair, NJ and was a former Special Forces chaplain of the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod. Please know that this is a genuine review and you won't go wrong if you make this purchase. Enjoy the outdoors--Hooah!”
