I'll add that I've found them fine in warm weather - was in Singapore for a few days in August last year, up to 34° with sweat-bucket humidity. At no point did I feel that the trousers were too heavy, even though my upper body felt rather sweaty at times in a Craghoppers shirt, sometimes with a t-shirt underneath. In fact, the trousers in that environment didn't even enter my head until I saw this thread.
 
I bought a pair of these. Unfortunately, despite the waist and length being fine, the 'fit' was far too tight for me.

They were also less 'substantial' feeling than I was expecting.

Then again, my 5.11s (both canvas and Taclite), that other people have said that they don't get on with, are a great fit on me (as are my other trousers from USA-based companies) so I've now bought another pair of those instead.
