3SP XC Pants
Most pants I wear vary between a 32 to 33" waist and 34 to 36" inseam and the large-long in these pants fit perfectly. Thank you SportHill for making longs. A couple of things to note about the pants that aren't listed here:
1) They come with a warning to hang dry only (no dryer).
2) The fabric is listed as 90% polypropylene/10% spandex. The tag on the pants list the fabric as 76% polypropylene/13% polyester/11% lycra.
Great pants.
XC pants
I've worn my SportHill XC at least 100 days per year for the last 10 years. They are the best cold weather XC, bicycling, rock climbing bottoms ever. They wear like iron! Mine still look and work great! Everyone should wear these!
Men's XC Pant
The X-C Pant is the best piece of winter running gear I have ever owned. I live in Rochester, New York, where winters are cold and snowy. These pants have never let me down. I bought my first pair about fifteen years ago and they are still in use. I'm transitioning those to cycling and just bought a new pair for winter running. I've been running for over three decades and love the fact that this classic piece of gear is still of the same superb quality. I also prefer to buy from an independent company where the founder, Jim Hill, still picks up the phone and takes orders!
Men's XC pant
I have purchased these identical pants consistently within a 15 year time frame. Quality seems to be consistent in both sizing, materials and garment wear life. All appealing attributes to consider with a higher priced consumer product.,.
Read the details on sizes
I have not used the pants yet - they look excellent, the material is good quality. However if you have purchased pants from Sporthill in the past, please note that sizing seems to have changed significantly. I ordered a large, and they were at least 4" longer, with a larger waist, than a previous pair of Sporthill pants (both "large"). I am 6' tall and the regular large pants reach 2" long than the floor on me. On closer inspection of the size chart it looks like Medium/short will be a more appropriate size. I don't know that the guys who are only 5'4" can wear.
Wind Stop Pants
Great pants really stop the wind
XC Pant
Great pants, but the length is a little long, I have a 36 waist 33 inseam and Large Longs where too long, Going to go with just the large. You try them you'll buy them !!
Go to pant
Perfect for largest range of temps. Thread on front seam pops pretty easy at the knees. What about an elastic thread?
-----Editors Note. Glad you like your XC pants. Thread should not pop on front of leg. You can return them for another pair.
Pants are longer than described
I've had several Sporthill pants and have always liked the quaity and fit of material. The XC pant looks and feels to be of excellent quality. My only complaint is that it's length is longer than described. I have had to return them and will probably end up purchasing a L short. However the last time I did that the length was shorter than I liked. I guess Iam just a 'tweener' .
As good as they've always been!
I've been wearing the XC pants for over 15 years and I had to finally retire my original set of pants. The new pair fit well and worked well for both nordic and alpine activities; no problem down to the low-mid 20Fs. I wear these without shell pants for alpine and I'm fine as long as the winds are light. Probably would work well even colder but I've not tried. When laundering, I usually tumble dry on low heat but the instructions say to hang dry. I think this contributes to shorter life and shrinkage. Both the new and old XCs are medium but they certainly fit differently. I would definitely recommend these for all winter activities!
