Cloudveil Inertia Peak Pant

I got a pair of these pants a year or two ago. My size 32 pair weighs 10 oz. I think the new version might be a little heavier. I'd say the say the sizing is pretty much right on, maybe just slightly on the small side. The length for the 32 pair is about 32 inches, as well. They are stretchy and very comfortable. Breathability is very good, but I would still choose light nylon pants for very hot weather like in the 80s. Durability is adequate for trail hiking, but I would not wear them for bushwhacking. I like the roll-up feature. It's great for some extra ventilation when walking uphill, but the rolled-up part does tend to slip below my knees for me. I'd like it better if they rolled a little higher up.

I like these pants a lot for fall and early winter hiking in PA. I would think they'd be great for summer in the mountains. They are not so great for summer in PA becuase stinging nettles go right through them.

I can't give you much help except to say I have a new pair of Spinner wading pants which I will use for overseas travel and the quality is excellent. The legs were too long by 2 or 3 inches and I had to get them adjusted. Combined with my matching Spinner shirt I hope to be a well dressed, comfortable and stylish traveller !
PS. I won't be spinning fish though.

I haven't used the current intertia peak pants, but I have used it's relatives: the rodeo pants and the spinner zipoff pants. The rodeo pants were true to size, the spinner pants wear a bit large for size with the legs being 33in or so, rather than the more traditional 32 in.

I have liked their breathability and against skin comfort. They are a bit more weather resistant that traditional supplex, but dry a bit slower.

I have been very disappointed with durability. Much worse than supplex. In less than a season they are pilling badly enough that I wouldn't wear anywhere but on the trail… my supplex pants been in decent enough shape to be worn around town after several years of use. After two years of general use I was forced to retire my first pair.
