Just got some and wish they had back pockets and mesh on the vents but I know not everyone wants those things. Still midht keep them we'll see.

Shoot. I paid 155 for mine two weeks ago. Looks like they don't have my size anymore either.

I also paid $155. I reached out to see if they would honor the new price as i hadn't received mine yet and they said no they cannot but I could return them. Similar to above they didnt have my size in green so I said all good.

Well, I caved and got some. I jumped in on the 50% off deal.

First impression: They fit well and are comfortable. I'm 5'11" and 205 lbs. I wear a 36" waist in most jeans so I got the 36R. I think the fit is perfect with a thin base layer and another shirt tucked in. Belt fits through the loops good. My Pykes are tighter in the legs slightly which is fine, just a little different.

Will put them to use in the field soon. I bought the wax bar too for down the road when needed.

I'm about to jump on the 50% off deal too, but wanted to ask you guys with field experience: would you wear these even with a wet forecast? I'm in WA, but mostly on the eastside. Still plenty of rain, though. I've put off a a pair of true rain pants for ages, and am kinda thinking I can keep staving that off with keeping the BTM pants waxed (I know the poly part isn't waterproof.) Good idea? Or bad idea, and get the AllClima 3L pants instead? I'm just a fan of jack of all trade things.

Heck yes, that's what the wax portions are for.
This day started off with a lot of condensation that was ice then slush. I am not good at taking pictures of me, but maybe you can see how wet she is.

I wear ankle high gaiters to keep debris out of my low til shoes, and the bottom wax BTM stuff kept me dry and never soaked up any moisture.


Dry for comparison
