Re: [RBW] Re: Knicker Quest

[Robert Tilley]

I own a few pairs of the Ferrosi 3/4 pants and really like them. The only thing I wish they had was a built-in belt. I have a couple pairs of long-ago discontinued Mountain Hardwear knickers that have a cinch belt and I really like that feature. I should have stocked up on those while they were still made. Think I will buy a couple more Ferrosi's for the stash in case they get scarce.

Check 'em out: https://www.outdoorresearch.com/us/mens?or_product_type=117&product_list_limit=all Pros: rugged, breathable in heat yet oddly comfortable in cool weather, don't absorb a lot of water, dry fast, reasonably flat seams, plenty of length below knee with a flexible elastic cord closure that can be left open if it heats up; not noticeably noisy fabric when walking; Cons: synthetic fabric may not appeal to some; fabric does pill a bit after a lot of use; rear pockets could use zippers (which the full-length version of this pant has), and zippered R side thigh pocket may be too small to be very useful. I mostly ride in these or their shorts in warm weather since deciding I'm done with Spandex. Full disclosure - I get OR stuff at a discount since I work in Conservation so their stuff may be more attractive to me than it is to you. Slightly off-topic but related - can anyone recommend good knee-high socks to wear with these for cooler weather?  -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
