REI Sahara pants replacement

I have the REI pants too and love them, but here is the replacement that I am buying for a trip to Cambodia:

Railriders Eco-Mesh Pants….designed to keep your vented and cool.

They have a zipper that runs down the side of the legs to open or close the vent, depending on how hot/warm you might be.

Many good reviews on their site…..friend of mine used them on the Tahoe Rim Trail for a 9 day loop that we went on. Served him well.

No gusset in the RR pants.

KT,

Humm, that could be a problem then.

Thanks for letting us know.

Hope you are doing well these days…..

Thanks, I am, big thighs and all.

Yeah, the Saharas used to be great, now they’re awful. They changed the material, too, so it grabs sweaty knees, exacerbating the tightness. Just awful. Designed by someone who never had to hike in them. Awful.

I’ve now switched to shorts for all summer hiking, with a pair of wind pants to go over those if it’s cold. Doesn’t work for bushwhacking, though.
