Go these pants for snowshoeing and winter camping. They weigh about 2 1/2 pounds.

Great construction detail and quality, true to size, roomy without hangin off your butt. Vents are located on the thighs where they do the most good. Numerous pockets with zips to keep the gear in and snow out. Built in gaiter does its job and now I dont have to pack or wear regular gaiters.

Worth the money. I look forward to years of enjoyment of these.

Broke it in last week, a very light weight pot for the pack kitchen. Big eough that I had plenty of coffee for that early morning wake-me-up and hit the trail.

About the question below, concerning using it over a fire, oh yeah..the way I clean the tar and creosote off, which can be heavy with pine wood fires, just find a snow bank or some granite sand, grasp the pot on the top and give it a back and forth rotation, cleans right up!

I also make a 'glove' for it out of a piece of foam pad, then line the inner surface with tin foil, glued in with silicon to prevent melting the foam. Keeps the food/beverage hot. as titanium,. is or course, a great conductor, which helps it to heat up fast, but also cools down fast.

Last week up in the Sierra's at 11,000 feet, lows in the high teens or low 20's, with a base and a light fleece under this jacket as the 3rd layer, I was toasty and with its' ultra light weight, free to move.

Outrageous value.

A very very very light parka, I got it for winter camping so light is good, however, these parka's are (I believe) made in China and are not American sized,they seem to run at least 1 size smaller than US made. I got a medium that fits like a glove, barely enough room under it for a base and second layer. I am 5'8" 140lbs. Regular 37" chest. No zips on the pockets let in blowing snow.
