Deviator Wind Pant - Men's

Perfect winter pants for the outdoors

I bought this a few weeks ago and these are my fave pants ever. Baltimore has been unseasonably cold and these have been my go to for walking or running with my dog everyday. If I’m going slow I’ll wear fleece pants. But if I’m moving these keep me warm and help me flow.

Great pants!

This is my second pair of these pants. I think they are great. I use them all winter on mountain treks. Very comfortable and when it gets colder, I just layer with my merino wool underneath. I'm 5-7" and weigh 160#. And the mediums fit great.

More than just for running

Marketed for running, but I will likely use for bike, soccer, paragliding. Narrow zippered cuffs are hard to find, and the front-only protection from wind and water is unusual. A selection of inseam lengths is great. My only concern is the calves are snug on me and my calves are not unusual.

Pants fit great, took the advice of a previous reviewer and went one size up than normal. I'm 5'11", 175 and normally go with Medium. Doesn't have a drawstring for the waist, hope the next version does.

Not a perfect fit for me, but may work well for others.

Pants are nicely lightweight and weatherproof, but could use a drawstring and be offered in a long inseam. The fit is ok on me, but not great. However, I'm 6'4" 200lbs and right between a large and xl. These pants will likely be fine for men 6'1 and below, but make sure you pick the waist size from the sizing chart that meets your actual waist measurement. The lack of a drawstring is unfortunate. In my opinion, they are also quite overpriced, so carrying a little buyer's remorse. I will use them, but they aren't my go-to running/riding pants.

Brilliant product and design

Predominantly a cold weather running pant, though I have used it for nordic skiing as well. I find the pant performs exactly as I hoped, meaning that I can run in above freezing temperatures without overheating, but don't freeze at -10C. Excellent fit, trim but not tight, great freedom of movement.

Tight in the crotch and thighs

In my proper size, the waist and length are perfect. However as another review mentioned, these are tight in the crotch. Since I need these for ultra trail running, I need to be comfortable so this will not do. I will size up and try that, but I fear the waist will be too baggy and the pants will fall when I run - especially because there is no drawstring in the waist. Perhaps these will work for people with a very lean build, but for someone with a slight muscular build in the thighs I find these way to tight in the crotch.

Wind blocking

Hey they actually keep the wind/cold air out and have moderate breathability. Works as advertised. Elastic band fits me well although there is no draw string.

Great winter running pants!

Very pleased. I'm shorter/stockier (5'5"/170lbs) and the medium was great for me (32" waist), although they fit a bit snugger than shown in the taller model on the website. VERY warm pants. I would have liked regular pockets as well, but the two side leg pockets work great for phone/keys. Great for shoveling snow or running and everything in-between!

Impressive Pant, fit slightly off

Overall, they are a great pant. The material is awesome and they look very nice. I'm 6' and 168# and the M fit well. That said, the fit is slightly off in the crotch area. It's not terrible but it does distract from earning the 5th star.
