Riding Pant Dilemma

[MarkEngland]

I’m having trouble deciding between the following two pants and looking for any input. From the description, it’s tough to decide what one pair has that the other does not. I love the adjustable waist band when I tried them on at the store. I’m having trouble figuring out why the Flex Pant is about $45.00 more.

I wear the Ventures for my winter pants. Haven't ever worn them with the extra liner though. They do fine w/o it. The adjustable waist is nice... and the velcro at the bottom sinches them tight around your boot to keep the cold out. They do have pockets, but I've never used them. A few months back I did a 2+ hour ride mostly in the rain... they kept all the water out.

 

I wish they took up less space when packed into my saddle bag, but that is my only complaint.

I have TM Caliber's, nice, but they do take up room in your bag. Then again, why are they in your bag, you should be wearing them.
