Darn good pants

Ranked #410 - Men's Softshell Pants
December 23, 2009
Cruising through Atacama desert in Chile, I'm rockin' the BC Overhang pants and staying cool and comfy. Like most Backcountry products, the Overhangs have a slim fit, (I'm 5'7", 135 pounds, 30"-31" waist, and wearing a small). The pants resist brush and weeds like armor but are super flexible for an impromptu bouldering session. In the desert you won't fry and on a windy outcropping, you'll still be comfy. I really like the pants but they are a bit quirky: there are seams that hit you across the top of the knee that take some getting used to and my girlfriend pointed out that the back is sewn in a way that make the pants look like they have a huge butt panel (think old school pajamas). Overall the pants are good, not great, and a deal if on sale but there are better options out there.
