 Hi All
I'm considering getting some Montane Featherlite Pants to complement the smocks in my collection.
Looking at the Montane size-chart, the size I need is Medium, but is this based on wearing them as trousers or as lightweight overtrousers?
(I recall that when I bought the smocks, I needed a size larger than usual to fit over a baselayer, and 2 sizes larger to fit over base+midlayers.)
Any thoughts?

I'm a 34in waist and needed a large.
|
|
 If you consider yourself "larger side of medium" get a large. "Athletic fit".I measure 32-33 waist(actual body),usually buy a 34 trouser for comfort and definately a large in the Featherlites.Good purchase as well !!!

Thanks, folks, I'll "go large".
{I don't know, you wait and you wait and you wait, then two Evanses turn up at the same time!!! Anybody want to make it a hat-trick? :-) }

 "dont buy absolute crap"
Good advice. One should never buy absolute crap. One should save up one's pennies and purchase a pair of these marvellous troo's.
They're braw. Everybody should own a pair. Today.

 Bagger will also be needing these four items to make his trolling better quality,{D,'.}.

Aye, and going by his review, he seems to have missed the point somewhat :o)
|
|
I'd be inclined to agree with you Big Kev...
|

 Yes, bagger seems to be labouring under the misapprehension that Featherlites* are intended to be waterproof. And I confess I tend to ignore any comment that doesn't give some sort of justification.
* trousers, that is...
|
|
LOL, you lot!
Just to pour a little oil on the fire...
I proofed my "absolutely crap" FLPs with TX Wash-in, and they are now sufficiently water-repellant for me to be confident enough to flog my now-redundant "standard" overtrousers. Ok, the FLPs aren't very robust, but I didn't buy them for scrambling.

its all in what you wear UNDERNEATH as a unit.
I would'nt recomend thick cotton briches I used to where 20 yrs ago..... go synthetic tights especially power stretch (expensive)
but got some lowe alpine dry flows for £2 at a retail outlet in bargain bin!!!
or ron hills from charity shop if skint.
