Vern,
a bump for you
Thanks for posting this.
Were the Filsons and Colummbias too heavy for you? Didn't wear right? Not durable?
I'm not one for the "new, high tech, magical, lightweight " fabrics out there. So I'm wondering why you are interested.
I found your post because I was going to start a thread for pants recommendations my self. But probably for canvas types as I'm not fond of synthetiics. Maybe some on the faces of the legs, but nylon/polyester tpye fabrics make me sweat too much.
Good luck in your search.
Geno
