Hi Doug,
  
 I'll be your editor for this. My edits below are in standard BGT format:
  
 EDIT (all caps) – required change
 Edit (initial cap) – suggested change or request for clarification
 Comment – just that, no change required
  
 As I'm not requesting significant re-writes I see no need to repost. After revising you may upload to http://tinyurl.com/mzsv5m8 http://tinyurl.com/mzsv5m8  Don't forget to delete your Tests/OR folder copy.  
  
 As this is your second Owner Review, after uploading you will be officially a Newbie and eligible to apply to test gear. Congratulations! To do this, you need to (i) complete a tester agreement (you can download one from the BackpackGearTest.org website), and send it to Kathy Waters (address on the website), and (ii) join BGT’s sister Yahoo group, backpackgeartestERS, and watch for Test Calls.  I know that there will be some coming shortly, so get your tester agreement off!  A hint – keep posting Owner Reviews. That will earn you credit with the Test Managers.
  
 Cheers, Richard

 XXX TESTER INFORMATION XXX
 Edit: It's not required, but consider adding measurements pertinent to the product under review – in this case, waist and inseam sizes.
  
 ###My trips are normally at least a few miles (3 or more km). ###
 EDIT: (5 km or more) [3 miles = 5 km; "or more" reads better at the end]
  
 ### PRODUCT INFORMATION ###
 EDIT: Add the manufacturer's MSRP ($39.95 US)
 Edit: Consider adding relevant measurements: inseam, outseam, waist.
  
 ###The pants have an elastic waistband with Velcro adjustments on the outside###
 EDIT: Here and elsewhere in your Review, substitute "hook-and-loop" for "Velcro." [Velcro is a trademark whose owner jealously guards it. BGT doesn't allow use of "Velcro" unless the manufacturer states on a hangtag or website that it is genuine Velcro. I didn't see it on the Red Ledge website.]
  
 ###The pants have a full length zipper on each side ###
 Edit: full-length [with a hyphen]
  
 ###These pants have also been used above treeline at altitudes above 13,000 ft (3962 M).###
 Edit: 13,000 ft is approximate, so I'd round of the metric to 4000
 EDIT: 4000 m [lower case]
  
 ### have found the Large size to work perfect for me. ###
 EDIT: work perfectly
  
 ### The bottom zipper pulls do not have lanyards, but could be added if one wanted to. ###
 EDIT: but they could be added
  
 ### When I carry Chap Stick, a lighter, a knife, etc, ###
 EDIT: carry lip balm, a lighter . . . [Try to avoid using trademarks or brand names of any product not under review.]
  
 ###I store them by rolling the pants up to about the size of a water bottle and store them in an outside pocket of my pack. Another downside to these pants, in my opinion, is that there is no fly in front for males. ###
 Edit: I store the pants by rolling them up [Noun first, then pronoun]
 EDIT: Delete "for males" as redundant [There is no fly for females either. And these are listed as men's pants.]
  
 ###Wind proof###
 Edit: windproof [one word]
  
 ###THINGS I LIKE
  
 Not breathable
 Needs more pockets or different location###
 EDIT: THINGS I DON'T LIKE
 Edit/Comment: How about adding "No fly"
  
 
  ### My opinion of the pros far outweigh the cons. ###
 Edit: In my opinion the pros far outweigh the cons.
