Our Two Cents
The HT Air Overpants combine “free air” design with a removable windproof and waterproof liner to provide about the best “all weather” design of its kind. We have lots of “free air” pants from various manufacturers, but this one is the only one that will work over a wide temperature range. Like the latest “free air” design jackets, these pants have a removable liner that will break the wind and keep out the water in cooler weather. But then when it heats up, you can take out the liner and let the wind blow through. These pants would be an ideal choice for the traveler with limited space and a wide variety of weather conditions to contend with. And an over-pant design is ideal for commuters. You can wear them over your street clothes and then conveniently step out of the pants when you get where you are going using the long side zippers. These side zippers are also “two way” meaning they’ll zip down from the waist as well as up from the ankle. This feature lets you reach into your jeans pockets easily. Take the “View Larger Pictures” link above for a really good set of photos that shows this pant’s key features. The pants come complete with Temperfoam armor in the knees. This type of armor is soft and pliable, but gets momentarily hard in case of an impact. The pants come with some thin foam removable hip pads. We carry an upgrade for this armor called Hiprotech (see below), which is WAY better than the thin hip armor supplied as standard.
Note on Use: A couple customers have commented that the material used in these pants melted very easily when touched with an exhaust pipe. Of course any nylon will melt when heated significantly but these two customers felt this material was especially susceptible. We have not tested to substantiate the claim on way or the other. I’m just passing along what seem to be valid comments. Use with caution near cruiser pipes!

I bought these pants to go with my first gear mesh jacket. On fit, I wear between a 32-33 waist and I bought a 34. With the adjustable velcro, the waist fit is not much of a problem. (Read more...)

I ordered these pants, one for the hot months here in the desert, and the other for the colder 'winter' months. I am very happy with the sizing and quality of these overpants. Thanks New Enough!!!!
