In reply to asteclaru:
> I seriously doubt that your quads are that big to be honest. I've had the Tupilak salopettes before I've changed to Arcteryx and I could barely walk properly in them, let alone climb anything.
My old ME salopettes were, I think, 2008 models - they have lasted very well indeed and the usual nicks and scrapes seem to be only cosmetic. I suspect, as per cb294, the cut has changed considerably. They leak a bit on the knees but I have no need to replace them - they were about 150 quid in 2008 so about 14 quid a year so far. They will be retired to telemark duties only soon.
I haven't tried on the current versions but based my "Tupilak probably the closest version these days" comment on web info, so my apologies if the cut has changed dramatically unbeknownst to me.
cheers
