[pct-l] hiking long distance in pants instead of shorts & Railriders

[jdrows@xxxxxxxxx (JD Schaefer)]

Hi All
Unless it's a very warm day, I hike exclusively in Railriders weather pants
all year long.  They are superlative.

I wish they came in convertibles as I'd buy 3 pairs just in case they
stopped making them.

I've tried to initiate communication with Railriders a half dozen times over
this and other items.  There was never a response.

PS The eco-mesh shirt is also great but the style might be better suited to
Uzbekistan.
