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.

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.

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?
