The Boss has agreed to help with this build as my sewing machine doesn’t like EPIC and also she is a whiz
We have several yards of EPIC here and I want a pair of high-tech general purpose winter pants.
For years I have been wearing mesh lined microfibre pull-ons like the original Patagonia Baggies Longs but for next season I want something a little more refined and harder wearing in key areas like the knees and bum
One of the hardest things to decide is what type of mesh to line them with and how many layers to use in different areas.
I get very cold knees and as well as double layers of shell fabric I was thinking of using extra layers of mesh in the knee area for a little more warmth there
What The Boss and I cannot work out tho is whether to use a fine medium or coarse knit mesh and if we use 2 layers of UL mesh all over which goes first?
I thought that the more open mesh should go between the ling and the shell
We have several types of mesh here, some old Polartec stuff included that was used by Patagonia in an R0.5 T-shirt and PaddyPallin long johns, some sunscreen mesh and some very LW loose stuff usually used to line cheap polyester “Gym” clothing as well as the fabric used on Goretex and other WPB clothing
