I wore a wool gabardine uniform pant for about 20 years (until the department authorized a dac-wool blend), four of them in an area where we got snow measured in feet every winter, and the rest where the temp dropped into the teens often, but usually without any precipitation. I gotta tell you, if I had not been wearing good insulated undies I would have frozen. And those pants, in addition to shrinking when they dry, STINK when wet. I can not comment on any others, but I have read/heard that "forester wool pants" (not sure what those are, I have always assumed some type of USFS uniform pant, and I think that they are a whipcord) are great...
