The under-wader pants you might never take off.
We were trying to build the perfect pants to wear under waders, but we accidentally made the most comfortable cold-weather pants you’ve ever worn. Our Thermo 350 Pants aren’t just under-waders: imagine if your favorite sweatpants, your favorite joggers, and your favorite cold-weather pants had a lovechild. They’re kind of like that. Constructed using 95% hand-selected New Zealand wool with a cloud-fluffy interior and a durable knit face exterior, these are performance underlayers that you can (and will!) still be wearing hours after the waders get hung up to dry.
Grown in New Zealand, spun in Germany, built into the most comfortable Merino layers you’ve ever worn.
Humans can't make insulation better than the one sheep grow. We've tried, but Merino wool outperforms synthetic materials for comfort, heat retention, moisture-wicking, and odor resistance. Instead of trying to one-up nature, we're working with it: Grown by sheep, perfected by technology, our Thermo collection starts with the highest quality, hand-selected New Zealand wool. We send that wool to Germany where it gets blended with just enough synthetics to create the perfect stretch and woven into yarn. We use that yarn to make our durable, ultra-comfortable Thermo Collection.
Wearing cotton layers is kind of like fishing a Durham Ranger on your favorite trout river. Just because something's a classic, doesn't make it effective. Our Thermo Collection is built from the highest quality Merino wool to keep you warm on even the coldest days while naturally wicking moisture away from the body. Merino also naturally resists odor, so when you’re on day 4 of that week-long trip, your buddies won’t complain about the smell.
• 95%, 20.5 Micron Merino wool and 5% spandex blended for 350 gram weight baselayer.
• 2 Jean cut pockets for ease of use under waders and rear zippered pocket.
• Stretch waistband with cordage adjusters.
Struggled to explain to my sons how I managed to spend $400 on a pair of tracksuit pants - there is only so many times that I can stress “marino baby” in a conversation with two teenagers - as far as my boys are concerned, you cannot get better tracksuit pants than Champion. What do they know? Neanderthals, both of them.
Love sleeping in these pants - I regularly pair these pants with my SAXX underwear - which have a BallPark Pouch that cradles my balls - a perfect combination for sleeping.
Have not actually caught any trout in these under-wader pants which, I realise, does somewhat undermine the value of this review. But, I did not want to get any more reminders from The Flyfisher to leave a review - hence, this slightly premature review.
If I get a chance, I will leave a re-review after I have actually caught a trout in these pants. That said, I am relatively sure that the pants will perform adequately while wading, especially when I fall in (which I often do).
In closing, I am 100% confident that I will be flying in these pants when I travel to New Zealand in January 2025.
So, in summary, great pants to sleep in and travel in.
