ENLIGHTENED EQUIPMENT TORRID APEX PANTS: The Definitive "Waltz Around the Neighborhood" Review

Please like and subscribe if you enjoy my videos and feel free to comment if you have any questions. Time stamps with descriptions below. Apologies in advance about some of the large borders and my face off the screen, Linux video editing software does not like vertical videos.
In which I give an entirely too long and detailed review of the Enlightened Equipment Torrid Apex Pants, including some walks outside to test out the pants in sub-freezing weather. I talk about the materials, insulation, fitment, usage cases, and probably some other stuff that came to mind. Strap in!

Just wanted to provide some additional info on the usable temperature range of these pants after using them some more. I walked in the mid to upper 30s with only shorts underneath, and they started to get a tad toasty in the upper 30s. I also find them warm enough while static in the 40s.

Sitting on a park bench, in the dark for 20 mins in gold puff pants, now THATS dedication, good video👍

[@thedanwatts9571]

Thanks, I did that mostly out of my own curiosity more than anything. Would have done more cold weather testing if the weather didn't warm up recently.

Id like to see them compared to down pants

[@aquinocalma9532]

thanks for the video. I have a question, what's the packability like?

[@quincyslote8058]

That's probably the only thing I didn't cover. I would say it packs a bit bulkier than a comparable down jacket. For example, I have a down jacket that weighs about the same and it packs 2/3 to 3/4 the bulk of the pants. About the size of two fists.

@@quincyslote8058 Did you say how much they weigh? If so I missed it...

[@thedanwatts9571]

@@huntercook6605 These things weigh a bit over 6 ounces but the weight varied based on the size and fabrics selected. The estimated weight on the website is pretty close to actual weight.
