Everything is great except they are pretty tight and tapered, similar to a Levis 511. I thought they would be a little bit looser similar to the Ferrosi pant. I'm 6'2 and 165lbs so pretty thin and they are skin tight around my calves
These tick a lot of boxes for me. Nice material weight, stretch, guesseted crotch, low-key branding, back zip pocket, reflective hits on the cuffs for cycle commuting, slimmer fit. I have so far worn them to the office, hiking, trail building, cycle commuting...solid everyday pant that are nice enough to not look like techy hiking pants. They are a slimmer fit than the Ferrosi pants and I ended up going one waist size up from my Ferrosi's.
Pants have been great so far and the fit is perfect. Not too tight and not baggy, although the waist on the green pants was about an inch smaller than the grey pants, even though they are both supposedly 34", which is annoying. Otherwise they work great and don't look like hiking pants, which is a good selling point.
Felt like a great upgrade from 686's line. Materials are solid, durable and lightweight + breathable, stitching is great. The high cut pockets keep everything in. I wouldn't mind a bit more tapering, but the fit is otherwise perfect for me.
These are a little more durable and a little less light than the Ferrosi pants, but every bit as stretchy and, unlike the various Ferrosi models, I'm never wondering how many pockets these pants will have.
