Fellow washers; I’ve been on the hunt for some 100% polyester pants. My needs for a pair were as follows:
-100% polyester
-Waterproof
-Wind proof
-Breathable
-More then one color
-side zips to get air in if I get too warm.
I found these after walking into a local outdoors shop and I’ll tell you what they are great. They meet all my needs. I poured straight 12.5 on them and it beaded off. I let it pool up in spots and it did nothing. I washed in them this morning and they worked perfect. I just wore them over a pair of shorts.
Now the only downside…… they cost $180….but you’ll only need one pair because they will last and hold up to what we use on a daily basis with washing. Very early in the testing phase, we will see how they hold up by the end of the season.
@Innocentbystander there are no belt loops. It has a draw string and loops for suspenders as well. Going to pick up the suspenders online. They didn’t have them in store
Have you gotten a hotter mix on them yet? Anything higher then your normal HW mix? I’ve been having to use the 12v lately and I’ve burned up two pairs of “resistant” pants. That’s why I dropped $180 on a pair that can take straight 12.5
I’m not sure why y’all are spraying bleach on your britches. I use Walmart wrangler ripstock pants and the only thing that gets wet are the cuffs around my boots. Never any bleach on them
@Innocentbystander we can’t all be as smooth as you man. Maybe one day, but for now I’m going to paying $180 for pants because I get bleach on me at times. I’m a mess.
, and they’re comfortable. Ours last until they get worn down from roof shingles, never any issue with bleach.
