I succeeded in wearing out a set of Patagucci Rubicon pants and since the new sizing for that model doesn't fit me I decided to try the powder bowl. I talked to the Patagonia lady on the phone and she assured me that the powder bowl is every bit the pants that the rubicons are (durability). Well, they are a decent well thought out pant, but aren't really on the same level of durability bomberness that rubicons are. Too bad they only fit short fat people... Thats the nice thing about the powder bowl, you can get it in a variety of inseam and waist sizes. Powder bowls are durable, better than most others, but no the best. The fit is in between slim and regular/loose fitting.

I'd definitely try the Powder Bowl. It is more of a combo between the old primo and the rubicon. The old primo rocked... The PB is a nice option now. Rubicon has excess material--feels like a wider cut.

My husband is about to exchange a pair of Patagonia Primo pants for the Rubicon. He is skinny and 5'10, typically waist of 32. Would you say the Rubicon Medium would not work for him? I was also researching this Powder Bowl pant, and came to the same conclusion that they do not look as beefy. The new Primo pants are nothing compared to their old ones. Thankyou!
