Drumond Park T73116 Fill Your Pants

Product Information

The Mountain Hardwear Ghost Whisperer Down Pant is without a doubt one of the top under and outerwear options available on the market for a full spectrum of cold-weather activities! If you’re seeking top performance and excellent quality, RDS-certified down, this is an excellent go-to. 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.). A waterproof outer hem furthermore resists moisture, so these won’t wet out as easily as much of the competition. Fill power is the measurement used to calculate a given down insulation's ability to loft, and therefore trap heat. It is directly related to "how warm" a garment is, but not an outright measure of warmth.

While the pants are quite minimalist, the 750 fill goose down insulation is no joke – these will absolutely keep you warm enough in virtually any context you’d want down pants. The shell is furthermore built from abrasion and weather-resistant 20D 400T nylon, so although Naturehike has built these pants to be bare-bones, they have not cut any corners on integrity nor expected lifespan. 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 PantsCar journeys - this can be a great time to talk, and your child will have plenty of time to ask questions if they need. Synthetic fleece is a solid insulator and stands up to the cold fairly well, but doesn't breath all that great. Cotton fleece breathes better but does not offer the same level of warmth. More easily explained, a 700-fill-power down indicates that one ounce of that down fills 700 cubic inches of space. The fit is a lot more casual looking than most other down pants despite the fact this is about as high-performance as down pants get and the brand even offers these pants in a sharp color selection so you can choose the aesthetic that suits you best. Down pants are a technical piece of gear and far from a fashion statement, but it doesn’t hurt that the Ghost Whisperers have a pretty sharp look to them! It’s an honestly brilliant application of synthetic insulation that utilizes the best of both worlds – natural down through the main body of the pants for maximum warmth and compressibility and synthetic insulation around the wear-prone sections for increased abrasion/weather resistance and lifespan.

Items that are not available in store will take 3-5 working days (excluding weekends and bank holidays) to be delivered to your nominated store. They're based in convenient locations including supermarkets, newsagents and train stations. Plus they're often open late and on Sundays. 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.This is a very straightforward option with minimal bells and whistles, engineered for minimum weight and maximum portability. Coming in with 750 fill power, goose down insulation, they’re impressively toasty too! The Fluorocarbon free RDS-certified 800-fill hydrophobic goose down developed in conjunction with Nikwax is particularly water-resistant compared to most down alternatives, allowing these pants to effectively stand up to wetness better than the competition. A durable Pertex Microlight outer furthermore provides solid abrasion resistance, making these down pants the ultimate option when it comes to use as outerwear. All in all, the Ghost Whisperers are very comfortable down pants that differ from the other two options reviewed here. They’re full-featured and still relatively light, but they’re also a little more pant-like than the others and not quite as warm as a result. Part of this might have to do with the increased number of baffles, making them a little more trim feeling. They’re hands-down the best option here for use in more active pursuits due to their fit, reinforced waist, and zippered ankles. That being said, with the number of baffles and what seems like less down fill, I think they’re not quite as warm as the other two for the more sedentary camp life. 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.

The full length side-leg zippers allow for easy layering and venting when you need to shed or add other garments or give yourself some air (trust us, it’s warm in there!) while adjustable elastic closure at the bottom of the legs enhances heat retention. It’s a brilliant system that allows you to both effectively shed, and trap heat depending on what your needs are, as well as take the pants on and off quite easily. Synthetic down might be a touch heavier and less compressible than natural down, and may not hold its loft quite as long, but it's far more water-resistant than even DWR treated natural down and furthermore will still insulate you when wet. Merino wool is a brilliant insulator and will keep you warm even when wet. There are furthermore all sorts of wool/synthetic blends currently on the market that are remarkably form-fitting, antimicrobial, and WARM. For contexts that call for maximum mobility and warmth, merino wool is a great call.

Montbell Ultralight Down Pants

Based in Poland, Pajak makes a nice looking down pant they call Ghost Pants. Ghost pants feature a flexible waist adjustment, full-length zippers, and a reinforced bottom. The pants are made of “AIRTASTIC SLF15 DWR” with RDS 750 FP Polish White Goose Down. Although these pants do not list the source of the goose down insulation or fill power (frustrating to say the least) they are none the less praised by all sorts of lovers of the outdoors for their stellar insulating ability and slim, yet unrestrictive fit. Naturehike’s Compression Down Pants are an excellent unisex budget option for outdoorsmen and women seeking an affordable and versatile pair of down pants for the money. The 3/4 length also enables easier layering when these pants are worn as either a mid, or outer layer. 7/8th length side zippers are furthermore included here to enable easier on and off action without having to remove your boots, so Sitka has really thought this piece of apparel through when it comes to functionality!
