Ok, I just bought 2 pair of these on sale at the recommendation of everyone here. They are really comfortable. I've been using Mt. Borah Freedom Pant for the last two years. I love the pants, but they ride up my calf leaving my ankles exposed. The Headwinds fit a little snugger so I'm sure they will provide better coverage. Plus, I like the idea of the wind-stopper fabric in the front, and the breathable fabric on the back. I'm hopeful that these will help me regulate body heat better.
