Drumond Park T73116 Fill Your Pants

Product Information

Down pants are brilliant for a few applications in particular that you may or may not have considered: Every bit of the material used to make the Atmosphere Pant is sustainable, from the RDS-certified down (which ensures that the feathers and down come from animals treated with exceptionally high standards) to the PVC-free water-resistant coating. The Atmosphere Pant has synthetic, more durable insulation in areas likely to be compressed (like knees and the seat), so you don't need to worry about cold spots after heavy use. Car journeys - this can be a great time to talk, and your child will have plenty of time to ask questions if they need. If you're seeking a base layer or mid-layer for use underneath a shell out in the extreme cold, there are certainly some alternative, more traditional options out there. The Thermal.Q™ Elite insulation employed here works more or less the same way as natural down – it utilizes stiffer fibers to build a 3D grid structure and then finer fibers to fill in the gaps in the structure. The end result is a garment that doesn’t lose all of its insulating ability when wet, while still allowing for impressive compressibility – hence the “Compressor” Pant.

The Enlightened Equipment Torrid Pants are made with a 2oz/yd² continuous filament CLIMASHIELD APEX synthetic insulation and 10d nylon fabric with a DWR finish. They’re available in men’s and women’s versions in sizes XS-3XL. Weight varies by size and there are custom options available.

All in all, Mountain Hardwear has engineered a pair of down pants worth buying for serious outdoorsmen and women seeking serious performance apparel for the most difficult of environmental conditions. No doubt an excellent value buy despite the high price tag. Wearing tights, long underwear, and base layers only go so far to provide additional warmth, but the loft of insulation in a pair of down pants traps your body’s heat around your legs on even the most bitter cold days. Exterior fabrics are also wind resistant, and synthetic options will still keep you warm even when wet, making puffer pants ideal as an outer layer. What are the disadvantages of down pants? Mountain Hardwear has built this option with full-lengthleg zippers for easy layering and ventilation, as well as reinforcement around the seat and knees for extra durability in abrasion-prone areas. They’ve engineered these pants to hit all the bases when it comes to keeping effectively warm, as well as properly ventilated once your core heat rises. Those who are interested in the Uncompahgre Pants for hunting applications will be thrilled to discover there are a few different camouflage patterns and earth-tone aesthetics to choose from! The most important factor in choosing insulated pants (for most buyers, at least) is the fill, which determines how warm the pants are. The fill of a pant is measured in one of two ways: down weight or fill-power.

The 900 fill Primaloft Gold insulation utilized here is remarkably lightweight, compressible, and insulates when wet. It’s one of the superior choices of synthetic down on the market – Sitka has truly engineered this garment for serious outdoorsmen. The Primaloft is even paneled in the high-compression area of the seat to avoid cold spots while sitting and better manage moisture and warmth, so these pants won’t mind if you take a seat somewhere chilly! For outdoor winter wear, look for a pair of pants with at least a 600 or 700 fill-power and at least 3 ounces of down. That’s a good base range; more than that will be very warm, and less than that will be better for activities where you’re likely to generate your own heat (winter running, snowshoeing, etc.). Implementing 800-fill RDS-certified, lightweight, breathable down (90% goose down, 10% goose feather), the Ghost Whisperer Pants are supremely toasty as well as impressively lightweight at just 9.6 ounces. The high fill power allows for less insulation overall, resulting in a remarkably high speed/low drag pair of down pants. It’s challenging finding any down garment at this price point worth buying, Tapasimme has engineered an excellent budget option with this one that’s more or less unrivaled when it comes to versatility in function!

More Ultralight Down Pants

The ankle zips are another nice feature as you can—at least in theory—put on and take off the pants without removing your shoes. Note that this works with smaller shoes, but it’s a no-go with the large Five Ten winter boots shown in these photos. Bathtime -you could start a conversation when you're running your child's bath, or helping them get dressed. The overall fit is not particularly streamlined like many of the other options listed here, so these pants are best worn as an outer layer, rather than as a base or mid-layer. More easily explained, a 700-fill-power down indicates that one ounce of that down fills 700 cubic inches of space. All things considered, this pair of down pants are perfect for those on the market for a truly high-performance layer for remaining toasty and highly mobile on more intense outdoor pursuits. Those simply looking for some added warmth this cold season will likely not require the technical features and top-tier insulation of these pants, but those seeking the best of the best will no doubt find a friend with the Kelvin Lites!

They're based in convenient locations including supermarkets, newsagents and train stations. Plus they're often open late and on Sundays. Seeking a down garment that won't quit on you if it encounters some wetness in the field? A synthetic or synthetic blend insulation is probably best. The First Lite Uncompahgre Puffy Pant is a wonderful synthetic-insulated option for active outdoorsmen and women that offers a tougher than average inherent construction and higher weather resistance than natural down alternatives.Mountain Hardwear has another pair of relatively ultralight down pants in their catalog. The Stretchdown Pants have most of the features as their Ghost Whisperer—save the ankle zips—but have a 88% nylon/12% elastane shell to allow better movement, and are stuffed with a 700-fill-power RDS down. Depending on the intended purpose of your down garment, fill power may or may not be of great importance to you. Those seeking ultralight down garments will, however, gravitate towards higher fill powers. Cleaning And Maintaining Your Down Pants
