Let us know how you like them. I want a new pair of pants and I’m deciding between these and the pa18 from Barney’s.
Kurt (founder) talked about it on a podcast I highly doubt they ever would. They kinda have found their niche in the market so I think they’ll stay the course in what they’ve done so far.
I have both the DH and the DH lites and prefer the lites. I was surprised to see they released another pair of early season pants with how great the lites are. I’m also a little weary with having a zipper on the inside of the thigh, but we’ll see how people like that feature.
The 206 pants fit the same as my lites.
I’m with you on this one. I really prefer the lites. But they are a bit heavy in comparison to many other early summer ish pants. I’ll be curious if the zipper there bothers me as well.
Agreed, I prefer the dlites over the regular Dehavilland pants. The dlites do everything the Dehavilland do but are lighter and breathe better.
They definitely aren’t super light compared to others, but those long side leg zips are hard to beat. The only thing I didn’t like about the zips is I found myself dealing with more ticks on my legs. I learned quick to zip them up going through anything thick or taller grasses.
I wore the regular DHs in November during late deer season in snow and about 20 degree weather. With the thicker material and the DWR treatment, they performed really well. I wore the lites in about 80 degree weather down to just above freezing temps with a thin base layer underneath and they performed extremely well. I’m definitely impressed with both, but overall prefer the lites.
