Western Rise. I have 3 pairs of evolution and 1 pair of diversion (a bit heavier and more tapered). People really like their AT too.

I can travel for weeks with just a few pair, wear with tee shirt, button down, or sweatshirt. Especially the evolution do well in warmth (though I wear diversion in summer heat too), but also a nice job cutting wind.

I was checking and looks like they have a sale on pants right now.

I have been asking for a pair of evolution pants for the past two Christmases now, hoping this time its the one!

What are the main differences between diversion and evolution? How's the wear held up?

They hold up incredibly well. I wear them A LOT and no discernible wear.

Evolution are thinner/lighter and fit a bit looser. Diversion are thicker canvas - more denim weight - and the fit is more tailored.

There’s an evolution 2.0 out but I’ve not tried.

I’m 5’7.5” and have had all of them tailored shorter - and no issues.

Fwiw I have WR hats, 2 merino oxfords, and a performance flannel (discontinued I think). All their stuff is great. I’ve backed most projects on kickstarter. I’d buy their jackets too if I didn’t have a good lineup already.
