would this be a good pant to hike at high altitude where it could potentially get cold (rocky mountain colorado in the summer)?

They are light weight but do block some wind. With a pair of good long underwear under them, they should be fine. I used them in Peru at 15,500 ft and 32 degrees and they were good alone as long as I was hiking.

It depends on your metabolism. The pants are excellent for tropical environs but I would wear them in the Sierra wilderness trek during the sunny day hiking but they are not heavily durable so I think you need something a bit more of a tuff weave for backpacking in wilderness alpine rough conditions.

First off I don't play golf, and in warmer weather I don't think this jacket would be good I use it for walking and when I get warmed up this is sweaty for me and I take it off. It is light weight and I tend to be comfortable when others around me are cold.

I would say "no" but then again, I live in California so 40 degree weather while raining is very cold for me. This top is very comfortable and fits well but probably too thin for cold and rain.

I returned the coat, but my impression was that it would work well for temperatures in the 40s and 50s, possibly similar to a good sweater, but light and silky. I have a light down jacket from Costo (Calvin Klein). It is good in these temps, as well as indoors when it is too cold. I have a thicker, Patagonia street jacket which I think is more comfortable when you are getting down around freezing or below. I love the Calvin Klein for our north coast of California temperatures, but it is not as good a quality jacket, so I am speculating. The Marmot might be warmer. If I were to reorder it, and wanted it for cold temps, I would get it bigger and layer it.

The bag is probably not too warm for the Rockies in summer months. We usually take a top sheet with us and zip the sides down in warmer weather. The bag is machine washable but is fairly large and does not zip apart into two pieces so you may need to use a commercial laundry.

It wouldn't be bad, I would stick to running or cross trainer for that tho. These shoes are more rigid and better used for outside. You don't want to wear out your good hikers inside on a treadmill....

I wouldn't really think so. Unless you are a hardcore backwoods adventurer. Those types may have a preference but I would imagine it would only be in respect to super cold conditions but this sleeping bag is more of a summer bag. For the average joe wanting to do a little camping and wanting to purchase good gear, I don't think the zipper side matters a whole lot.

Probably better than warm packy snow. Should work well. I am very eased with them

Yes according to the order page on Amazon, this king size can be ordered in "Extra Warmth. We ordered the medium warmth and found it to be quite warm for our unheated home at 4,000 feet altitude. So guess the Extra Warmth would be very warm.

It's an awesome jacket. Minnesota gets pretty darn cold so you'd probably want a layer under the jacket. May be a fleece.

Yes! I live in Minnesota and I wore this this winter with brutal -20 degree temps. Its amazingly light and warm!!

"Light-Medium" weight. Not too thick, or heavy, but not lightweight. Right in the middle somewhere. Seems to be a very dense fabric, not flimsy or 'tissue' like either. I think the pants are a very substantial fabric, yet they'd be okay on a warmer day and not stifling hot. They do not feel bulky or heavy on, but I think they're substantial enough for hiking and having your legs rub against brush and it wouldn't hurt or scratch through.

I purchased these pants and gave them as a gift, therefore they are not physically in my home. I recommend you do as I did when I was considering these and go to the Columbia website and reference their size chart. You should have good luck that way. I can tell you that the recipient absolutely LOVES these, we live in MI and have had over 90" of snow!

Absolutely, these are very light but still keep your legs very warm in cold temperatures...I wore them as a base layer in 20-60 degree weather.
621089
No, they are good to wear over a base layer that is thin yet Insulating. Jeans would be too bulky and too much for the waist unless you go up a size.

I believe, yes, in hot weath climate in works like Forestguard, but isn't the ideal, this may work well but..., I sugesst to you Propper but 100% cotton ripstop BDU's pants, P.D. I'm in Colombia, I work in field, wet forest and cloud forest, I know wath I say.

I didn't find the bag to be too hot. We overnighted at just above an 8,500ft summit in Southern California with windy conditions and it kept me warm. It's light weight material allows for good night sleep in most conditions. It should be comfortable to use in both situations.
