Product details:

You can let your adventure continue with the Kathmandu textile overpants for 2012. If I were choosing an overpant that could do it all (except for hot weather), I'd choose these. The pants have the same features as the namesake jacket: waterproof shell, removable thermal liner, lots of storage, etc, but the feature I personally like the most is suspenders. The reason is that overpants with liners, armor, gear in pockets, etc get heavy, and if you rely on the tightness of the waist to hold all that up when off the bike, it gets uncomfortable. So with suspenders, you can wear the pants at a comfortable tightness and not have to continually tug at them to keep them in place. And the bigger your belly relative to your waist, the more you'll appreciate the physics of the situation I'm talking about here :). I know, they are not for everybody, so happily, FirstGear made them removable. Like I said, these will be the do it all pants especially for long distance touring riders or commuters. Those riding back and forth to work could easily protect their street clothes from the elements and easily step into and out of these pants at work (without having to find a place to change clothes). Two other neat features worth a mention.... the armor in these pants is adjustable for height and position, and there are two side pockets that allow you to reach the pants pockets of your jeans or pants. That makes it so you don't have to transfer your wallet, keys, etc from your street clothes to these pants when you suit up. We took a boat load of close-up feature photos of these pants.
