Forloh BTM Pant review posted ---> now traveling pants to try

[Jason Snyder]

@The Ri Guy thank you for the detailed comparison.

6' 180#, Athletic Build, 32x32 standard size in most pants.

Ummm so, is there going to be a photo fashion show?

I have multiple pants from both entities, and in a standard 32x32 size:

On with the brotherhood of the traveling pants. Thanks to @sndmn11 for his generosity in shipping these to me.

The best comparison I had was to my Pyke Tongass pants. I wouldn’t call these overly similar, but close enough in terms of purpose.

For the record, I’m 6’ 200ish (currently @208 because of too much ice cream) with a 34-35” waist. My Tongass pants are a 36 with the inseam let out all the way to a 34”.

My apologies for the poor lighting in the photos.

Tongass pants



Yes, they always look like I have a load in my pants

The Forloh BTM




The last two picture of the BTM are with a medium weight base layer on. Fit was fine, especially with the stretch material.

Facing fabric on the Forloh is heavier and more robust. The Pyke are lighter but not necessarily more comfortable

I would need a 34” inseam in the Forloh (these are 32”). They ride okay on my boots, but with steep climbing I think they would ride up and allow debris in my boots. Forloh really should add a boot hook and suspender loops/buttons. And trim the waist down. A 34” would be too snug for my preference.

Who wants these to try on next? @TSAMP

I got these out for some real hunts finally, two days so far chasing August Black Bear in Washington.

Day 1 I accidentally ended up on the wrong side of a 10 year old clear cut that was predominantly soaking wet 6-8' tall Fireweed and Blackberry brambles, and decided it was the perfect time to put the BTM's to the test. I made it the entire way through without a poke, snag, or any wetness -- until the very end when I stepped into a stump hole full of blackberries and got two pulls on my side where I landed on the stretch material. My fault.

Day 2 we got drenched, and I hadn't waxed the pants yet. The reinforced cotton/nylon section definitely soaked through after about 3 hours, but only into the pockets, and I seemed to mostly walk them dry on the 2 miler back to the truck after the rain had stopped. Oddly enough I never felt wet inside the pants themselves, it really seemed like only the pockets soaked through.

Extremely impressed with these pants.

Good review.
