Patagonia Rock Craft (formally Rock Guide) soft shell pants 50% off

Thanks for posting! I've really liked the pair I picked up earlier this year, and was stoked to get a replacement pair at half price! Tons of sizes available too…

What are the pros and cons between the "Rock Craft" and the "Simple Guide"? [aside from price, at the moment]

Thanks

simple guides are heavier, great for shoulder season and winter- little too heavy imo for summer/3season use

my wife has simple guides she uses for x-country skiing and just raves about them, I've had good luck w/ my Rock Guides year round (just wear a thin base layer underneath if it's cold)

I almost pulled the trigger, but 3 pairs would probably be pushing it :)

Mike, do these fit true to size? I'm right between a 35 and 36, some brands a need the larger and some the smaller. I've never had a patty pant so I'm shooting in the dark on this one, please help.
Thanks,
Tad

Tad- I'd say pretty true to size, if I were between sizes I'd probably opt going up vs down, better a touch loose vs a touch tight :)

Mike

Love these pants
Great function and fit

Thanks Mike- I missed out, was looking for something to get me over $50 and when I went back to finalize the 36's were all gone- by the patty website these do run a little slim so I would only go with the 36's

theyve got the shorts too @ $34
