I've struggle with my lower body temperature comfort in low temperatures for a long time and these pants have been the absolute PERFECT solution.
Low bulk, good mobility, etc.
Perfect addition for lower body comfort in cold temperatures.
Originally did medium but length on S was more my speed. I know theyre for fishing but I use them for all sorts of winter activities - really dont even need a top layer even if youre rolling around in the snow. So warm and dry very quick. Move comfortably with your body. Recommend them to everyone who spends a lot of time outside during the winter
Purchased for flyfishing under my waders in winter. Hiked in 20 degree windy conditions and they were warm and comfortable60s. Looking forward to using in early March on the White river in Arkansas.
I love these pants. I wear them under my waders on cold days. I also wear them under my bibs skiing on cold days. They are also great for lounging around the house after a long day. I will liking be getting one more pair.
I have never felt the need to write a review until getting these - they are amazing! Super warm on the river and they do not get covered in dog hair at home. Easily my favorite pants and maybe my favorite piece of clothing ever. 12/10 would recommend.
These pants are awesome! Super warm. ..and comfy! Ive had them on three days straight. However, the draw string waist band leaves something to be desired. I removed the draw string and replaced it with a (lock lace) or quick lace system. They are just about perfect now!
Warm & confortable .. run larger than I though they would be in the legs & rear ended. i am 6 ft 195 - 200 lbs with bigger lower half & the XL size is spacious but I am not complaining the purchase was to lounge around the house or quick errands.
Primarily to be used as a fly fishing base layer under my waders.
The first use was a 24 degree day on the Upper Owens, great fit, comfortable fabric, great movement and thankfully warmth! I like the color and they will be nice hanging out in my camper or home on chilly days as well. No fish that day but at least I was warm!
I am somebody whose extremities get cold very easily. While most of Patagonia's gear is designed for active athletes moving around out in the cold, these pants are warm enough for standing around in freezing water. Even though I'm not into that, I don't have to accept any sacrifices to wear these for what I need them for. The two leg... Read More pockets are perfect for storing my phone, dog waste, or wallet if I'm running to the store. The fit is more tailored than loungy sweatpants, which combined with the false fly it makes them great for going out in public.
I also have the older R1 pants made for going under waders. The tailored fit, cuffed ankles and TechFace make these R2 pants easier to slide under another layer. (Which I have not needed to do yet, wore them down to mid-20's so far and they are plenty warm even with wind). Because the TechFace coating costs some breathability, some folks might find these pants could be too warm if doing anything more than a leisurely walk.
The DWR coating works as advertised, I was able to walk for over an hour in heavy flurries and had only few small wetted out spots. And this did not compromise the warmth one bit.
I bought these because, when I went to get a second pair of R1 pants, they were out of stock in my desired size. Disappointment changed to Enchantment!! The usual great Patagonia workmanship, these pants are clearly cut for movement! First put them on during a cold November sailboat deliver, they provided welcoming warmth and protection against the... Read More damp ocean cold! They do not bunch up or slide around while I do my (pathetic!) yoga poses and they do not bind when I attempt to jog in them! Delightful, I am looking forward to trying them skiing!
An excellent Flyfishing layer for coldwater wading. They fit perfectly and are a must for casual wear and grocery shopping. Be careful, they may replace your favorite jeans!
Warm and perfect tightness. Although they are a little snug on my backside. In any event, I'm a huge fan of this product, and it will certainly get a ton of use across many different cold-weather pursuits.
I purchased these pants for a trip to New Zealand. I was a little skeptical at first b/c they aren't exactly my style normally- but I'm SOLD after 2 weeks of living out of suitcase and alternating a few pairs of pants, these in the mix. They fit pretty well, are warm, and comfortable, AND repel a good bit of moisture before noticeable get... Read Moreting 'wet'. They seem to dry pretty quickly though.
I would mention I think the knees could use the same kind of abrasion resistant material the seat of the pants has. I snagged the threads on the knee of the pant while riding in a boat on Mercury Bay in Whitianga. I got a tad bit miffed about it (these pants ain't cheap...) but I've accepted it and moved on.
Patagonia continues to offer high-quality apparel that not only looks good but lives up to the performance standers outdoor enthusiast have come to expect.
A great pair of pants. The fleece on the inside is nice and soft and makes the pants super warm. The zippers are well placed and the material on the outside feels solid. For me the ideal stylish and technical pants for my outdoor adventures 👖💚🥰
I use these for under wader warmth. I put these on and drive to fishing spots then simply put my waders over these. They are unbelievable comfortable and warm. I take off waders and drive home but struggle to take them off at the end of the day because they are so comfy. I love that the two zipper pockets are on the sides. No back pockets are well ... Read Morethought of design. Also tapered at the ankle to accommodate the perfect under wader fit. Everything you need and nothing you dont. If you fish in colder temps with waders. These are a must have to your kit. Never change these.
I got these for cold weather running, the fit is perfect, kind of like a jogger fit, maybe a tad tighter. They are super warm and comfortable. Also my go to pants for lounging around in.
I love these pants. Let's start there. I struggle to keep my legs warm in the winter, but these pants have made a huge change for me. Lounging around the house, as a mid-layer skiing...I even where them as an outer-layer on really cold bike rides. 10/10

Perfect
Great fit, very warm and comfortable. Able to withstand windy and cold temperatures
I am not a fisherman and I bought these because I thought they would be good for winter fat biking in the Southwest Colorado mountains. They are the most comfortable pants I have ever owned. They have kept me warm when fat biking in single digit temps and are great for anything cold. They double as a casual piece as well and are the first thing I p... Read Moreut on for cold mornings before getting a fire going or turning up the heat. Warm, stretchy, durable, weather resistant - the only complaint is the lack of a zipper.
Great weight for cold weather hiking and kickin' it
I love these. They are a great weight for cold weather exercise sub 32 degrees, but also very comfortable indoors around 70 degrees. Extremely versatile and comfortable.
I was looking for a heavy base layer bottom to wear under shell pants. I love my R1 and R2 jacket so I thought I would give these a try. I wear a 34 waist and previously purchased and returned the mediums as they were too tight. Size Large is a little big but less restricting and feel great while wearing bib pants. These are well made and the same ... Read Moregreat quality as the R1&2 tops with the warmth that I was looking for!
purchased to be worn under waders, seems a waste to cover these, best sweat-like pants ever owned. Design and cut are great, not too much fabric to "bunch up" in waders. Plenty warm enough and they look great worn alone. Nicely done.
Comfortable fit and great option for the wade fisherman. Great garment to wear to and from the river, and good weight and warmth for most wading situations. Stirrup bottom would improve it for the fly fisherman
Wow these are blowing my mind! Yes the fly is fake. I never use zippered flies anyway and neither should you. The fabric is heavenly. They are a little tight-- I tried layering long underwear underneath and it didn't work as these are more slim fit than "regular fit". Kinda bummed about this but honestly still jumping for joy in thes... Read Moree pants.
So helpful for this east coast city boy that's been out in WI for -10 degree for this winter. Never have enjoyed the cold as much as I have this year thanks to having all the right gear - walking outside is not an issue. These pants are amazing for cold weather warmth and durability. Are a bit snug for me but have loosened up and I juggle arou... Read Morend various medium sizes.
I Love these pants. Been putting them through the paces the last couple months. I already had the r2 Techface jacket so I saw these and was so excited. The weather resistance of the techface makes these so great in cold weather. My only complaint is that there isnt a long option. Im 6 ft 4 so I went with the large because I needed the 33 length(usu... Read Moreally 34) but the waist is clearly a bit too big for me on the large. Would be loving it if there was a medium long. Also wish there was a zipper on the fly as it looks like there is a spot for one, a little deceiving. Other than that these are the best casual cold weather pants Ive come across. Im sure theyre great for fly fishing too lol.
I'm so satisfied with these new pant - I would have loved them even better if they came with a zipper. They are quite slim - perfect for me :-)
I use them as a second layer when fly fishing in the cold waters of Denmark for sea trout
These pants are super comfortable and functional. I'm 6'2" with a 31 waist. After chatting with the Patagonia rep about sizing for wearing under waders and ski pants, I decided on the small. The waist is on the snug side (which I prefer for an underlayer) and the legs are on the short side (which work better with wading or ski boots)... Read More. Very happy with this choice. These pants are so comfortable, that I bought a second pair in medium to wear lounging around on cool nights - relaxed fit in the waist with perfect leg length. I'm in them almost every night. The only reason this isn't a 5 star rating is I notice a slight "pilling" of the fabric after not too long. I hope this isn't going to become a disappointment - so far, its just a cosmetic thing.
Super thrilled with the R2 TechFace Pants. They are warm and comfortable. I do wish these and others in my quiver were made in different colors. My R1, R2 TechFace and R1 Daily are all GREY...how about introducing some color?
purchased two sizes of these R2 pants. a large and an xl. the large is snug and great under my waders. the xl is loose and great for lounging or wearing under my waders. they very warm and do not stretch like the non tech face. great product
I purchased this pant for an underlayer for both a shell pant for skiing and for fishing waders. So far they performed as expected. The bonus is they are great to wear around the house.
I love these pants, period. I wear them under waders fly fishing and they are the most comfortable pant I have ever worn under waders. In cold water (high elevations of Colorado), these keep me very warm in un-insulated waders and are one of the most comfortable, flexible pair of pants I have ever worn. I am not a huge fan of the cuffed legs at the... Read More bottom, but they do help when putting waders on into my boots. Highly recommend!
I bought these for pants to wear in cold and moist (live in the southeast so this is our winter) canoeing. They fit my long inseam (35" normally) pleasently well. They are fantastic for keeping my legs warm on the water and at the day's camp site. They repelled water amazingly and even when wet stayed warm and comfortable. Bottom line the... Read Morey will be my many use wear.
I purchased these for under wader use when fly fishing. They provided excellent warmth and maneuverability when on the river. Also a great around the campfire on a cold night too! Super pumped with the purchase!
You better hide these, or you wife will steal them from you! These are comfort times 10, and have the feel of a second skin, not too tight, not a baggy sight, made for movement, and warmth before the sun hits, these are the pants! You can also use them as a thermal layer for under your rain pants!
