Edit - Misty Mountain Micra - Andrea Murland

Andrea,
  
 Always good to get an OR from you and always good to add a new manufacturer. One Edit and one Comment below, but my principal edits are more general: 
  
 1. It's not clear to me whether these pants are intended as a base layer or midlayer or outer layer. I gather you use them as all three depending upon the circumstances. Maybe you could be a bit more specific on this subject.
  
 2. I think you should use the manufacturer's name in the title of your Review: Misty Mountain Micra 190 Fleece- Women Bottom. You can (and should) note that retailers sell them as Micra Fleece Pants.
  
 3. Consider mentioning that one can't order this item through the manufacturer's website. Also, from a brief Google search it may be that one can't buy them at retail outside Canada. If that's the case consider mentioning that also.
  
 After revising please Repost to this list.
  
 Cheers, Richard

 ### In addition to sleeping duty, I wear them for hiking and downhill skiing regularly as an insulating layer when it’s cold, and have down that about fifty times,###
 EDIT: have done that
  
 
 ### There is a bit of balling, and they aren’t as fluffy as they were originally, ###
 Edit/Comment: What do you mean by "balling?" Is it little specks of lint on the pants after washing and drying? The US term for that is "pilling." If something else please explain.
