See my comment above. I have first hand experience as I worked for the brand. I misspoke about the fabric. Zrillex is a solid fabric. But if you didn’t notice, it’s the only fabric used in the pant. Because he only cares about looks and cutting costs. I also ran the repair department and believe me, inwas over worked with pants that were falling apart. You must have got some good pairs and the first rounds of 6day pros, which you probably have, were made in a good factory, but all the owners did was complain about how expensive they were. So yeah, they’re a good pant.
7mesh is made overseas because the quality is far superior for the cost. They could make it on shore. And they’ve tried. But the cost is astronomical. Plus, gore is meant to keep you dry and breathe in low output activities. A merino shirt and an open gore jacket will keep you comfy on the way up and then you zip it up and your toasty on the way down. And if you look at the 7mesh air map collection, they’ve addressed this it’s not perfect but it’s better than anything NF could ever develop.
I’ll debate all day about technical gear if you want I guarantee I know it better than you, so bring it.
