I tried on the Spartan on Sunday and absolutely love it. I don't see it as something I would wear out all that often, but for lounging around the house or washing the car, it will be terrific. I would have bought one on the spot, but I'm holding out for the second generation.

Hamish, I know exactly what you're talking about, but for the younger generation accross the pond... Well we see them differently.

CavScout, I'll bring up your suggestion at the Aniversary gathering on Saturday, see what Steven has to say about the idea. I'm not sure how they would do it with the pleats, but reversable might be interesting. I have a pair of pants (yeah, I know guys) that are made out of that material, and they are awefully comfortable.
