Me thinks this is the fabric thread count per sq inch or something.
300 is less thread, more breathable, less waterproof
600 is twice the thread, more waterproof, more expensive too.

Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong........

There are a few over-the-boot style MX pants coming onto the market, they look a lot more like normal trousers, but still have the abrasion resistance, venting etc. and are designed to fit MX boots and knee guards underneath. They generally aren't waterproof (but neither are dririder trou), which means they breathe a bit more and are comfortable in summer.

Can't go wrong for that price, you can afford to buy another pair of MX pants when weather gets hotter.

Other way around I though - larger the number the larger the thread diameter. Larger thread diameter seems to be more abrasion resistent but if it does wear through a bigger hole will open up with same number of cut threads. I to am happy to be corrected if I am wrong.
