Photojournalist travel writer Dennis Aprill wearing RailRiders VersaTac ight pants in the Anvil Range of the central Yukon Territory of Canada while pursuing very uncommon Fannin mountain sheep found only in this region. Underneath the wind parka, Aprill wore a RailRiders Regulator Wind shirt. "The VersaTac pants not only served me well on the Yukon trip," says Aprill, "but I relied on them a month later when photographing polar bears on Hudson Bay."

Me and Mickey

Posted by: RailRiders Gang in Love Letters, Photo Gallery on August 26th, 2009

A Love Letter (and request) from Deb Walker, of Lake Oswego, Oregon: "Just wanted to bug you again. When will you have VersaTac Pants available for women? I love your products. I have about 10 pairs of your Weatherpants and love them, but would sure like some of the heavier VersaTac pants. There must be women in the service who would want them too! I wear the Weatherpants because they are tuff as nails and get us through the brush without scratches, yet are cool and dry fast! In this photo we are in Montana trailing a ‘lost hiker’ (for training). My dog Mickey is certified in Search & Rescue K9 Trailing. Now he’s certified in cadaver, wilderness air-scent searching and water recovery for drowning victims. We wear WeatherPants for all of it – that’s why I have 10 pairs!"
