Hey any one have a pair of GooseFeet pants? After emailing back and forth with Ben who has answered all of my annoying questions I am going to order ASAP. My only reserve is if I should spring for the 3D box baffles? Any experience either way?

I have a pair of these and LOVE them. Ben is a great guy, and is awesome to work with, not to mention, his gear is top notch, custom, and very fair on pricing. I would not hesitate to tell you to get your down pants from him at all.
As for baffling vs sewn thru, that would depend on the temps you expect to use them in, and in what way. Mine is sewn through. I bought them to wear around camp at nights, and to supplement with my sleeping bag/quilt at night. I am in the SE area, so no sub 0 temps, but close at times, especially if you count wind chill too. I have used mine down to 6 F in my sleeping bag, and they were awesome! I would say if you are getting them to use in temps around the teens or less, often, maybe go with the baffling. If not so low much of the time, just sewn through may be a better option (at least in terms of cost).
Here is a write up I did on mine when I got them:
Hey Chad, thanks for the response. I enjoyed your write up and video. I live in the north east and see winter temps well below freezing so I end up going with box baffles and 6oz of down. I’m hoping to stay toasty in day time single digits.
I think you made a good decision going with the baffles and little more down for use in single digits. Once the temps drop, it’s not often someone complains about having a little extra warmth! I hope you enjoy them!
