A polyamide is a polymer containing monomers joined by peptide bonds. They can occur both naturally, examples being proteins, such as wool and silk, and can be made artificially, examples being Nylon, Kevlar and sodium poly(aspartate).
the artificial example in this case then im assuming is schoeller

Nice information. Remember to site your work though.
That is the point. Polyester, polyamide, polcarbonate, polyethylene, etc... Are all polymers.
So, if Dickies made those same pants Sherrill made, who would sell them cheaper? I would put money on Dickies. I think Sherrill can mark up products because they are so popular in this industry. That is their right to do so. That is capitalism.--Love it or hate it. They are not twisting people's arms to buy their stuff.--I understand that.
My point is to research stuff before purchasing it.
I bet those pants are great quality, but honestly the cost seems way too high.
Am I alone here?

what pants did sherrill make, im confused i thought we were still talking about stretch air
From what I understand, the difference between different polyester fibers can be staggering. Polyester itself can take on many forms. From Wikipedia: Polyesters are used to make bottles, films, liquid crystal displays, holograms, filters, dielectric film for capacitors, film insulation for wire and insulating tapes. Saying that they are all the same is a mistake, I think.

And other fibers as well. Quality will vary greatly. Just ask any rope manufacturer how a rope behaves with different grades of the same fiber.

stretch airs rool....OK!
all you need to know. everyone i have spoken to says after trying them they wouldn't go back. if you are required to wear chainsaw protection daily and you make your living off of a saw i'd say that they are well worth it. I dont know what the competition is like as i havn't tried them in 2 years but the stretch airs get 4.95 out of 5 (.05 down due to lack of back pocket).
Not all fibers are made the same and not all cutting trousers are made the same
Thats my review.

Perhaps the fibers are the same, just a different weave? (A better weave)?
We all know that knots in rope can reduce tensile strength in rope. Do you all think the weave in clothing can make a difference too?
If so, then I can see how one clothing company can boast a new technology in durability, comfort, temperature regulation, etc... (is better than their competition)
And if that is the case with the StretchAir Pants, then I could be convinced their pants are truely revolutionary and better then the rest.
I guess I should try some. Anyone want to loan me some?

One pair of Carharts 8.5 oz last me about a month to three months. If these guys lasted two years I'd buy 3 pair

That's my problem right now. I have 4 pairs of tech pants that are in really good condition but I got the airs for christmas. I don't want to use the techs now but cannot bring myself to buying another pair to let $320 worth of pants sit in my closet. Guess I could always sell them but don't know too many guys that wear a 30-30 pant.

I wear 30X30's. It's true- I tend to buy pants from catalogs just because I can research whether my size is available or not. I'd buy some tech pants from you, Climber020. But I also want the airs. They look so cool.

Okay, I bought some Patagonia and Sportif hiking pants last Spring. They are made of 100% Nylon. (Which the Airstretch pants are 93% Nylon and 7% Spandex). My pants cost me $29 dollars each. I bought 5 pair. They are light weight, don't snag on stuff, wick water well, break wind, khakki colored (cool for summer) and they aren't showing much sign of wear. I expect them to last me 1- 1.5 years.--Time will tell.
Point again:
Same material. The cost difference is huge. Sherrill marks up their stuff because of their name. Period.
Any one dissagree?

Which patagonia pants did you get? For 29.00 they had to be on sale.
For lightweight pants i found the patagonia Gi II did not hold up that well. While being very light weight and cool they rip easier than some other brands i have, and once the rip starts they went down hill fast.
For the colder weather any of the Schoeller or Schoeller clone fabrics are the ticket. They keep you warm, wear like iron and stretch so they are easy to move in.
