Palisade pants - excellent fit, surprisingly versatile - Arc'teryx Palisade Pant - Men's

I purchased these pants for hiking, travel, and walking. I really like the fit and feel. As other reviews have noted you do have to unbuckle and unzip when nature calls due to the short zipper length. Not a big deal really but just something to be aware of. What has been a huge pleasant surprise is how well they function in winter. In temperatures in the low thirties with heavy winds after a little bit of walking they are pleasantly warm. I haven’t tested them at lower temps yet. I also don’t know how they would be if one was standing still. I had contemplated getting one of the lightly insulated pairs, but for urban winter use these are more than adequate. If I were using in the mountains, with long underwear they would probably be pretty good as well (unless just sitting around...). Definitely recommend these if you are looking for three season hiking, travel, urban use. They are slim but a little forgiving. Definitely not a baggy or loose fitting pant. Not form fitting as in tight, but they do follow your form if that makes sense. I like them and would buy again.
