Materials
Stio’s proprietary Dermizax 3-layer technology compliments a 100% polyester backing and Dermizax membrane to effective breathe out interior moisture while keeping water out with a DWR finish. The fabric has been given a 50 denier durability rating. 

Comfort
The Environ pant is generally comfortable and articulates well. The weight of the pant and scuff guard is noticeable when taking large steps up steep slopes, compared to other pants in this test.

Temperature Control
The pant runs warm, which is great for mid-winter inbounds days or cold days in the backcountry. Half-length thigh zips with waterproof seals provide just enough air to cool you off during a spring tour. On the hottest of hot days however, a lighter pant may be prudent.

Features/Functionality
Velcro waist adjustments and belt loops allow for maximum adjustability in the waist. Dual hand warmer pockets and dual front thigh pockets compliment dual back pockets with zippers and Velcro flaps to help keep snow out. With six pockets, the Environ provides more storage options than any pant in this test. Ankle zips and button sealed interior gaiters round out the pant’s feature set. 

Fit
The Environ seems to run a bit large – pant leg length may force customers to purchase a size down, resulting in constrictions around the waist/hip area.
