I like that idea and price!
They are the Gen III Level 7 primaloft pants.
I’m handy with a sewing machine. How tough would it be to remove the Velcro and swap with buttons?
That would be super easy.
I bought a pair at $25. I measured the “Large/regular” at a 53” waist. I’m a 32. I cut them down to size, removed the Velcro, zippers, tags, loops, and elastic, then sewed the panels back together. 7 hrs total. They weigh half of the original product, and fit inside my size 34 Sitka mountain pants. Another option would have been to keep the side zippers and make them big enough to wear over pants but that’s not what I wanted them for. The inseam was about 30” so it would have been better to get the “large/tall” size for wearing over pants.
That's awesome, I'm just learning to sew again and building some gear. I think I'm going to modify mine a little. I would like to change out the zippers, modify so they dont totally zip off, and integrate a belt.
