Gear Review
Really light weight
By Lawson Bunch
Ranked #333 - Men's Softshell Pants
July 26, 2009
When my shipment came i wasn't sure they put anything in it. These things are light and stretchy. power shield is my softshell material of choice. I wear a 36x34 and these fit great in the XL. These are great multi purpose pants, wear them in all seasons, just throw some long underwear bottoms on like the BC primes and these make pretty good snow pants.

Glad I could be of help to you all. Now if I could only earn commission I could buy more gear to review for the tall guys out there. People think it is all fun and game being tall and athletic. They don't realize how hard it can be to find clothes that are long enough that don't tent haha. kinda lame pun I just made... but that means that it was kinda cool too...

Thanks for the info. I had been interested in these pants for a while and finally picked them up based on your review. I'm 6'4" and have the problem of my size being too short, but when I size up it's too big.

I just tried them on again to double check. I am in college so I don't wear my pants at the same waist line my grandpa does but even when I pull but either way I wear them they are long enough. After Noah I am not waiting for any more floods (ok bad joke) But I am a tall guy and pant lenth is often an issue and these don't give me any problem and they are plenty stretchy. put your mind to ease and order a pair and if they are too short for you we can go look for some floods. Deal?

You mentioned you wear a 36x34, are these plenty long? Or do you feel like you're waiting on a flood? Thanks!

Weight of Large is .95 lbs on a digital scale. I'm sure all the other sizes are really close to that.
