Hi all,
Anyone got any experience with the Mont Supersonic Pants? -> https://www.mont.com.au/products/supers ... rpants-men
Specifically how they go in non-snow winter hiking in damp bush and mud?
Long story short, I'm tired of shredding thin overpants in scrub, they breathe like crap (ie. they don't) and usually result in my legs/pants ending up as damp as they would otherwise (albeit warmer). With hopefully a good 2-3 months of winter missions ahead and fingers crossed much snow, I'm thinking it's time to get some 'proper' winter hiking pants.
Currently it's a bit of a toss up between the Mont Supersonic and their cheaper cousin the Austral. Fair price difference between the two, obviously, with the latter feeling still like an overpant that needs to go over regular pants, whereas the Supersonics feel burly enough that one could don thick fleece pants/longjohns underneath for the best combination of wicking, insulation and all-round flexibility when climbing rock etc. I really like the full length zips that would allow options for venting when it's not quite as cold eg. walking through sheltered bush.
I am open to other options/brands if anyone has any suggestions?
Cheers, Ben.
