I have Stratus bibs and the lightweight ESW pants but looking for something in between. I was looking at the Equinox pants but reading the reviews and descriptions has me questioning whether they are really an in between of the above two or not. Can anyone help? The Equinox hoody has a nice fleece liner and was sorta hoping the pants had something similar but a little lighter.
 
I have a pair of equinox and a pair of mountain pants. Dont know the ESW but mine are both lighter than the stratus. Material wise they are virtually the same. Mountain pants have the built in knee pads.

ESW are for hot weather. Any chance you can take a pic of the inside of the equinox pants?

Can this evening. I have hunted in the equinox and the mountain pants both up to 90 degrees but with a good base layer you can take them down into the 40's in a tree stand. Lower than that if you are moving. Put another way, with either the equinox or the mountain pant and the stratus pant you would have everything from opening of dove season on covered except for just brutally cold stuff.

They sounds similar to the ESW pants then. That's what I did last year was just add merino under my ESW pants when it was cool out and then switched to the stratus bibs when it got cold. I was hoping they had some type of lightweight fleece or something in them similar to the equinox hoody.

Which merino layers? Doesn't Merino have different weights?
 
Equinox are a bit thicker than the ESW the are my favorite pants.

I dont' have any sitka merino but have several different weights of other brands. It works ok but there's a gap in my system that I'm trying to fill.
 
I just bought stratus bibbs and jacket, esw pant and shirt as well as well as merino light weight top and bottom base layer, but like you not sure about the mid layers.
