Eastern Mountain Sports Insulated Fence Mender Pants

Let's cut to the chase: These are the best pants since they started putting legs on shorts.

They're lined with a thin and LIGHT primaloft insulation. Not too much bulk, excellent movement, non restricting and I've actually mended fences while wearing them...  I've also worked in the woods, built MTB trails, went canoeing (but stayed in the canoe), but they really excel at sitting around the campfire on a cold fall night.

The EMS pose.

Pockets... The pockets are lined with puppy dogs' ears. Soft.  It would be nice to have one zippered pocket.  The hammer loop is made from a tough nylon material that's rolled for easy access. The two aft belt loops are also made from nylon but I don't know why.  The inner waist band is also reinforced with nylon and the stitching and rivets go all the way through including the lining.

There is one negative review on the EMS Website.  http://www.ems.com/product/index.jsp?productId=10919680&cp=3707807.12194889
I don't know what this guy was thinking. He bought them... then discovered they aren't nylon???

Yep, the pockets are this soft!

If you're looking for a pair of outdoor, bang around, working trousers than buy these... not mine. I've been wearing them since I got'em.
