i was wearing a pair of wool dress pants this weekend. the fabric is a loosely-knit wool and lets wind pass right through. however, they are very warm indoors (too warm, no wind, no convective heat loss).
i occurred to me that these would make nice winter pants if you’re one of those hikers that hike warm. they’re light and airy when hiking. when you camp, you could stick on a pair of wind pants and the fabric would trap heat like there’s no tomorrow.
