I like these pants, got em on SAC for around $90 which is a great deal for these. THey are schoeller fabric which is a proprietary and thus prob put these at the initial higher price point. I also have a couple pairs of the stoic overhang pants which I really like, so will compare to them. These guide pants are more stretchy, the fabric feels a bit thinner but does seem to breathe better. Water resistance is similar and acceptable for soft shell material. Composition is 94% polyamide and 6% elastane which is exactly the same as the overhang pant ie nylon is polyamide. These seem to fit better than the overhang ie dont taper as much at ankle and a mores streamlined, better fit for me in size large. they have a nice rubber coating on the inside cuff to keep them down on your boots. I've only put these through a couple uses and so far I like them, good durability, nice instep protection panels and I like the khaki color (although they are darker than the pants in the pic). Note there are less pockets on these, no back pockets. AT $90 a good deal and at $126 acceptable. I wouldn't pay any more than that for these though. Just get the overhang.

Is this pant any good for down hill skiing?

You could certainly use them for that but they really shine for high output aerobic activity like touring or alpine climbing.

Just got these great pants and didn't find detailed washing instructions.
They look to me like I had better be careful with that. Is there a "Curley" Video? if not, suggestions. Cold, warm or hot water? Use or don't use dryer?
bill hartlieb

ha.. yes we need a curley video.....
The materials performance is related to the washing.... Wash often. Bacon grease from breakfast, sunscreen from morning, cheese from lunch, and sweaty palms from evening climb all make the DWR wear out.
Wash cold to warm water, use a nikwax tech wash, or a mild soap. avoid normal laundry detergent, it has surfactants (the opposite of DWR).
After a summer of washes and wears, for best performance, spray on a DWR. Nikwax softshell, or a TX direct. dry a bit on medium heat and it will evenly coat the outside, and make a Big improvement in maintaining DWR.
The key to a softshell working as a shell, is a strong water repellancy on the surface.

This vs. the Tour pant? Any other significant differences besides what has been mentioned? How do the insulations between the two compare?
EricB
Member since
The Schoeller material used is much more breathable and more water resistant than the material on the Stoic Tour's.
The Backcountry.com Tour SE uses the same Schoeller material - this would be a better comparison.
Can anyone from bc chime in on the differences?
Idtmcp5420

Actually, the Stoic Bertol Guide Pants utilize a different Schoeller material, however I'm not quite sure which one. The difference can be seen in the compositions of the Schoeller materials: (94% Nylon, 6% Spandex) for the Bertol Guide, whereas (73% Nylon, 18% Polyester, 9% Spandex) for the backcountry.com tour se.
As for insulation, it says the lining is midweight, so think a midweight pair of long underwear. The backcountry.com tour se does not have any form of insulation. The only other difference is weight, as far as I can tell comparing the specs. The backcountry.com tour se weighs 6oz more.
I may be wrong, as I own neither of these pants, so feel free to correct me if you know otherwise. I would also appreciate someone from BC chiming in, as they would probably be able to give a better explanation than me.
Hope this helps.

I've used the Tour pants for 2 years. The fit and construction of the Bertol pant looks very similar. The difference is the Schoeller material, zippered front pockets, and no back pockets.
