New pants on the market

I keep wondering when Cloggers will get some competition in the airflow department, and I thought it would come from Arbortec. They just posted these, and I don't see anything about how cooling they are - just comments about how awesome they look. If anyone gets to compare them to Zeroes, let me know.

It looks like a good concept, but to me wearing two layer pants would be a nuisance. I don’t really see great vents either, so it seems to me they would be quite hot. If they had a well vented option I might have a little more interest.

@colb I just got 3 pairs of Duluth's Fire hose pants. They seem durable and yet the material is thin enough not to be a thermal barrier. Wearing my first pair now breaking them in around the house. For $50ish each I couldn't resist.

I'm wondering how well they well last in the tree and construction industries.

Duluth generally makes some real durable things, I’ve never worn those pants but I have some of their others and they’ve been great. I also have one of their tool bags, and it’s survived almost 15 years of being overloaded and thrown around.

I was aiming to post about chainsaw protective pants. I will check those out as well. Anything that beats the heat is of high value. Thanks!

I used the flex firehose pants, they didn’t last a year for me. For non protective, wrangler flex hiking pants have done very well for me, at twenty bucks to boot.

Anything that has flex in it...

Dry on the Fly pants are the best pants I’ve ever worn light and so so comfortable

Duluth also has a lifetime guarantee. A buddy has replaced several pairs of pants and a jacket over the years no questions asked.
