OR Neoplume vs Pat DAS Pants

I found a pretty good deal on DAS pants at I believe O2 gear shop, and I ordered the M and L to try on. i'll let you know how they fit. If only for camp and sleeping, I think a super light down pants would be a better way to go. I'm pretty sure what you'd get out of a pair of gooses feet down pants or WM flash pants at 5-7 oz would probably be warmer than the DAS pants at 15oz. I ordered the DAS pants to help me dry out softshell pants and if I get stuck out in frigid conditions and I need something to throw over my skiboots and light pants. I still might consider down for this though. If you can find the DAS for a comparable price to the neoplume, I'd definitely go with the DAS. I'd say primaloft 1 is noticeably warmer than eco, and 100 is definitely a bit warmer than 60.

157$ is not bad for the Das Pants, I would also look at the Micro puff pants as they can be got for less than 100$

That is definitely a reason I would like to have them around. I just figure camp gear would be the more consistent usage. O2 is where I was going to order them from as well since the price is nice (either that or get another site to pricematch.) I would love to hear how they fit if I don't order them myself before then.

I received my DAS pants today. I love the fit! For Patagonia, they have a surprisingly athletic fit. I haven't experimented too much yet, but they seem like they are the perfect size to be able to fit both over or under a shell / soft shell. The material seems decently durable and according to the description, is water resistant and wind proof. They came with a pretty small stuff sack so should pack well too. I'm psyched. You can't beat that deal on O2's website. I tried to get another site to pricematch but they wouldn't do it because they said it is below their cost for the pants.
