Product Info for Western Mountaineering Flash Pants - Mens

The Western Mountaineering Flash Pants are lightweight down pants that provide ample warmth for many situations and could be layered with a shell for more extreme conditions. Western Mountaineering's Flash pants were designed to provide more lower body warmth than a thick pair of fleece bottoms with less weight and substantially less packed volume than any synthetic alternative. The average weight for a pair of these pants is roughly 180 grams and will compress down to about half the size of your waterbottle. These pants are made in Canada with 850 fill power goose down and an extremely lightweight nylon ripstop shell material. Features include an adjustable waist belt, re-inforced seat material, and elastic ankle closures to seal in the warmth.

Features of Western Mountaineering Flash Pants - Mens:

Lightweight ripstop nylon with water repellent finish
850+ Fill power goose down
Re-inforced fabric in the seat area
Adjustable waist belt
Elastic ankle cuff closures
Average total weight 180 grams (6.5 oz) per pair
Average fill weight 57 grams (2 oz) per pair

Down pants

by Kathleen W., from WA, United States Updated on May 27, 2021

These down pants are a major improvement over the synthetic puffy pants I have used in the past for backpacking. They are warmer and they pack down smaller. Excellent quality in the workmanship. Glad I splurged and got them.

Amazingly warm

by Daniel H., Verified Owner from IN, United States Updated on October 30, 2018

Very lightweight very comfortable could be used as a baselayer or outside when very cold I wear mine around the house. Made from RFD down at 850 Gil power they are very lightweight and compress to hardly take any space. So lightweight I forget I have mine on.

Light and Functional

by Zacc, Verified Owner from NM, United States Updated on December 13, 2022

These are initial impressions, but these pants seem like the best option for down pants when used as a terminal piece. They are super light (even lighter than many other less warm options), but they appear to have just enough durability for kicking around camp. They are hardly fashionable, but I guess you can’t have everything.

Great product, great service

by Michael, Verified Owner from VA, United States Updated on January 25, 2022

I have been upping my game when it comes to winter backpacking. I recently took advantage of the big snow system sweeping across the country to deliberately plant myself in the middle of very cold temps and heavy snow in the Blue Ridge Mountains. I already most of my layers but wanted a warmer pair of down pants than my current Montbell version. Not only did Camp Saver have the...

Flash Pants

by Paul Wagner, Verified Owner from WI, United States Updated on February 16, 2018

They are very nice. They have a really good loft. They are very warm. No front zipper or side zippers. They have a waistband that can be tightened if needed. I would recommend them to be used for under outer layer.

Basic and functional

by Mike L., Verified Owner from CA, United States Updated on February 11, 2016

I ordered a size too small--returned. Larger size was out of stock, so I ordered the Flight pants. Flash pants would have fit most of my needs, but would be better with a zip fly if worn under other garments (same for flight pants). I don't think that would be an issue with unisex sizing in M & L--greater convenience for men, not inconvenient for women.

Q Do these pants have a different fabric on the seat? I have a pair that I bought a couple years back, and they have a thicker denier fabric on the seat of the pants. My gf usually wears them so I'm getting her her own pair. :]

They do have a seat reinforcement. Let us know if you have any additional questions.
