Drumond Park T73116 Fill Your Pants

Product Information

The Western Mountaineering Flight Down Pants are a truly high-performance option that features the best of the best materials and insulation when it comes to warmth-retention and weather resistance. Those seeking a pair of down pants that can handle more abuse than your average down garment should definitely perk their ears to this one! Ideally, you don't want to wash your down clothing and sleeping bags at all - even gentle hand washing can affect the lofting ability of the insulation. You will, of course, have to eventually clean your down garments and gear, but it's absolutely worth noting that you should wash them as minimally as possible.

All things considered, this pair of down pants are perfect for those on the market for a truly high-performance layer for remaining toasty and highly mobile on more intense outdoor pursuits. Those simply looking for some added warmth this cold season will likely not require the technical features and top-tier insulation of these pants, but those seeking the best of the best will no doubt find a friend with the Kelvin Lites! Fishing: Wade fishing in frigid water is just downright challenging no matter how you cut it. Ice cold water will eventually get to you and force you to step out - wearing a pair of down pants underneath your waders will help you conquer the cold and last longer out there. Synthetic vs. Natural Down InsulationAn elastic drawstring waist and elastic closure around the ankles furthermore eliminates drafts, allowing the insulating power of the goose down to really go to work without any chilly intrusions. The overall fit is not particularly streamlined like many of the other options listed here, so these pants are best worn as an outer layer, rather than as a base or mid-layer. While the pants are quite minimalist, the 750 fill goose down insulation is no joke – these will absolutely keep you warm enough in virtually any context you’d want down pants. The shell is furthermore built from abrasion and weather-resistant 20D 400T nylon, so although Naturehike has built these pants to be bare-bones, they have not cut any corners on integrity nor expected lifespan.

All in all, Mountain Hardwear has engineered a pair of down pants worth buying for serious outdoorsmen and women seeking serious performance apparel for the most difficult of environmental conditions. No doubt an excellent value buy despite the high price tag. They're based in convenient locations including supermarkets, newsagents and train stations. Plus they're often open late and on Sundays.

Mountain Hardwear has built this option with full-lengthleg zippers for easy layering and ventilation, as well as reinforcement around the seat and knees for extra durability in abrasion-prone areas. They’ve engineered these pants to hit all the bases when it comes to keeping effectively warm, as well as properly ventilated once your core heat rises. These pants are built tough to endure the wetness, wind, and potential abrasion risks of an all-out hunting expedition. A reinforced seat offers added strength against environmental snags, pokes, and scrapes while an ergonomic fit and velcro waist clasps ensure unrestricted mobility. If you’re seeking a pair of toasty down pants that can keep up on your most intense wilderness excursions while maintaining their integrity, this is a great go-to. Naturehike’s Compression Down Pants are an excellent unisex budget option for outdoorsmen and women seeking an affordable and versatile pair of down pants for the money.

The most important factor in choosing insulated pants (for most buyers, at least) is the fill, which determines how warm the pants are. The fill of a pant is measured in one of two ways: down weight or fill-power. More easily explained, a 700-fill-power down indicates that one ounce of that down fills 700 cubic inches of space. Seeking a down garment that won't quit on you if it encounters some wetness in the field? A synthetic or synthetic blend insulation is probably best. It's hard to come up with a downside to the Mountain Hardwear Stretchdown Pant, which comes in both men's and women's versions. They're made with the brand's signature "stretch down" fabric, which is basically one continuous piece of fabric with sewn-in baffles—so say goodbye to holes at the seams since there are no seams. And since the baffles prevent the down from clumping up after a few washes, you're very unlikely to get cold spots.

Down pants are brilliant for a few applications in particular that you may or may not have considered: All in all, the Ghost Whisperers are very comfortable down pants that differ from the other two options reviewed here. They’re full-featured and still relatively light, but they’re also a little more pant-like than the others and not quite as warm as a result. Part of this might have to do with the increased number of baffles, making them a little more trim feeling. They’re hands-down the best option here for use in more active pursuits due to their fit, reinforced waist, and zippered ankles. That being said, with the number of baffles and what seems like less down fill, I think they’re not quite as warm as the other two for the more sedentary camp life. Walking -Walking home from school, or a weekend walk to the shops can help you both feel more at ease as you stroll and chat.
