Men's Gold Rush Pants

These pants fit me great and work well for cooler weather riding. Probably wouldn’t pick them for dedicated trail riding but they’re versatile enough to go from a MTB ride or commute in and then wear out in town. I’m very happy with them and I’ve already worn them a few times just for casual going out.

I negotiated with my wife to get these as an early birthday present so I could use them on some cool weather (low 40s) rides before the snow falls ...and they have been fantastic! The material cuts the wind but still breaths, you get weather protection without overheating, they move and stretch with you ... you don't give them a second thought when you are riding (which is how it should be).
After a ride we went to the pub and they wear just as well in that setting. I've actually been grabbing them for little things like dog walking in light rain, thanks to the moisture management. And I think they will be a good choice under snow pants during snow sports season ... a good weight, not-too-heavy-not-too-light , so when the lifts close you can throw the shell layer into the car and go right into apres mode.
All in all, super versatile and probably one of the best values in the entire CR line if you consider what goes into them vs the price.
If I could only have one pair of pants, Gold Rush would be my choice. (Unless CR started making it in a convertible model ... then THAT would be my choice!)

Best cool weather pants ever!
I have two pair and I wear them when I'm not riding too. Some of my favorite pants.

The adjustment arrangement is much appreciated, but it would be better if the metal hooks were significantly lighter in weight. Makes for a heavier pair of pants than necessary.

I love the design and comfort, but I’m not sure if it is truly a breathable material! In temperatures over 80 it feels a little warm and I was wondering if I ride in higher temperatures how it will feel. Otherwise I love the comfort and I’m wearing it to my work everyday.
