Backcountry.com baby. I can say this as I just got mine.
Apr 28, 2010 at 7:20 am #1603086Are these basically like a "wind shirt" but in pants form?
Apr 28, 2010 at 7:37 am #1603089Yes.
I like mine quite a lot. They're fairly rain resistant as well, at least as far as passing storms go, but I probably wouldn't rely on them for sustained protection.
The zippered ankles have actually proved to be fairly useful for me, although some people might find them superfluous. What I am considering cutting off are the little velcro ankle tabs, which I never seem to bother fastening.
Apr 28, 2010 at 3:39 pm #1603277For those who may have these how is the fit? According to the Montane chart I would fall between medium and large.
BTW – the jacket looks to also be on sale.
Apr 28, 2010 at 5:01 pm #1603305I have an older pair. My size by their chart was medium. I had to get a large and it is form fitting. They are snug fitting since it's biking clothing.
Apr 28, 2010 at 7:30 pm #1603359I ordered my pair today as well. I would have been a Large, but they only had Med and XL left, so I went XL.
I used to have the Aero anorak in L, and it was a little snug, so I had no problem going with the XL today.
Apr 29, 2010 at 1:25 pm #1603635im 5'8 without shoes, will a small fit me?
Apr 29, 2010 at 3:28 pm #1603701possibly not.
May 2, 2010 at 6:50 pm #1605077My FL "L" are 41" long and about 28" at the waist relaxed, 36" stretched.
They are a few years old, so not sure if that still is the same.
FrancoMay 3, 2010 at 2:15 pm #1605416I wear a medium in most pants, though I tend to be on the skinny side. The medium F-lites are perfect. Trim, but enough room to layer a trim pair of softshell pants underneath.
May 3, 2010 at 3:45 pm #1605443David – I was leaning towards a size large (no longer available on BC). I usually wear 32 waist/32 length (regular pants). Thinking if and when layering – I might need a large plus there is velcro to make tighter around the lower leg if need be. Does my estimation sound accurate based on what you know about the Featherlites or am I still in the medium range ?
May 3, 2010 at 7:46 pm #1605583Lee, I reckon you could go either way, depending on how trim you want the F-lites to be. I also wear a 32/32 in most pants.
