I would've bought the Honig's except for one thing. They only come in S, M, L, XL, etc. I'd rather have even numbered sizes with an adjustable waist and not have to guess if I'm a M or L or XL.

About the basketball pants comment: The dig could go the other way, I guess. If I wanted something that was like knickers, I'd buy knickers. And in the wettest weather, it's my shirt that gets soaked and bothers me, not my knickers/pants.

Let me know how warm the Honig's pants are in cool (not cold) weather. I could be convinced to pick up a pair for next season to use in the late, late season when it's cold. What I like about the Davis pants, though, is that when it was 57 degrees last week the pants were perfectly comfortable, not warm.
