I've been sick for the last few days so I spent it finishing up the pants. Theinner and outter fabric is momentum 90. I used 6oz premaloft spot for insulation and lycra binding for the cuffs.
I was hopping to make somethnig like the BMW pants and I'm very happy with the outcome. The final weight is 10.5 oz. for a size large. All seams are serged.

Nice job!
I was calculating that your pants would weigh 11 oz, so you surpassed my expectations.How is the fit?
With out any addition to the circumference, the upper leg portion is just a little tight on mine.
Mine didn't come out looking nearly as nice as yours.
With the 6 oz permaloft, these baby's are going to be warm.Anything you would have done different for others to attempt this?

I knew from using the pattern the first time it was a althletic fit and considered adding some into it. In the end I just decided to use a 4mm serged seam so I saved quite a bit from the french seam allowence it was set up for.
The fit is still athletic but I bend forward and back with out then pulling so I'm happy. I considered using more insulation to make them more 3 season but then would needed to ad more in the waist asnd hips.
I just started cutting coping and cutting the patterns for the kinsman pullover. Looks a bit more tricky. I decided to try the reg fit rather then relaxed. Hope it works out or someones getting a nice gift. Ha ha.
