Humvee or Humvee Lites (or neither)?

starbuck

I need to replace my 3/4 Humvees. I've loved them and use them about 3 out of 4 seasons. They have side vents when it's hot and I wear my fox 3/4 liners with them when it's freezing. When I started looking at some new ones, I've noticed Endura also now do Humvee lites. Apart from the DWR finish on the lites, I can't see any other difference. Anyone know what the differences are?

Apart from the humvees/lites, are there any other 3/4 I should be looking at? I'd prefer some that I can use for more than 1 season as I have with my existing humvees.

Not 3/4 but these look decent @ £40;

I'd go for enduras. The quality of all my altura gear is terrible by comparisson, silly things like the poppers for the waist being so mall, and the fabric so thin that they just fall out - that kind of thing.

Great! Just ordered those black and white shorts (£40) and a Altura Transformer Windproof Jacket (£60) - still the shorts can't be any worse than my Specialized ones that were twice the price. Front popper button just doesn't pop anymore - that's after one season of use.

Get a woman to sew on a huge button, and do a sort of hem around a buttonhole on them instead of the poppers when they go.

Was looking at a pair of Endura Hummvee 3/4 Trousers the other day, the one's with the liner inside. Looked and felt fairly nice. Might have another look on pay day (think they were about £50)

Aren't these Singletrack 2's any good? Been thinking of getting the normal length shorts myself :?

You really don't want me doing it. I can sew on a button, but I can't make a proper buttonhole thing.
