Getting ready to browse Amazon.?ÿ What do you guys like??ÿ My old fleece lined Carhart's are getting snug around the waist.
I hate how they keep making pants smaller, and leave the same numbers on them.
I like my filson pants over my duofold liners. I have to have a belt to hang stuff off, so I can't do the elastic waist thing, like Bill I just buy one size up so I can cinch the belt down.
Problem is my belt shrunk, must have been when I was caught in the rain. ?????ÿ
Stinkin drier.?ÿ
+1 to @mightymoe.?ÿ Layering is the way to go.?ÿ Long handles, then pants, then insulated bibs.?ÿ I hate to be stuck in lined pants if the temperature rises or I really start hustling.

Think they call it 'shrinkflation". See it at the supermarket all the time. Box of cornflakes is 6 oz. lighter but the number on the price tag remains the same.
Just because I'm paranoid, doesn't mean they aren't out to get me.
The above the law pant is a great pant, expensive but I have a pair and in light moisture weather they work great. My lined Carhartt's and Eddie Bauer's are so heavy to wear I put them on when it's really cold and nasty.?ÿ
@dougie?ÿ 25 plus years ago I was diagnosed as being diabetic.?ÿ My wife, who was a Nurse Practitioner, made me call my primary care doctor.?ÿ What set her off was that I had lost 15 pounds between Thanksgiving and Christmas with no change in my diet or activity.?ÿ
Unfortunately, I have put all that back on now that my insulin levels are "normal".

I swear by their Big Bill wool pants.
Some come with an elastic waist band.

I use these Carhartts over my regular clothes. I've had the same pair for 6 years now.?ÿ In the PNW water and wind proofness is everything. It doesn't get super cold like the midwest. If you can stay dry you have the battle mostly won.
@jed?ÿ I am definitely familiar with blackberry briers, and Devil's Club and what we call "Wait a Minute" briers.?ÿ I do love my Dexcom monitor though, constant readings and alarms if too high or too low.
