Good Ice Climbing Pant

Rating:****

I bought these to wear ice climbing because I didn't like the fit of my other pants. These fit better, except in the waist. I have big legs, so the size that fit my legs did not fit my waist. This pant would be perfect if it had some sort of cinch mechanism to make the waist fit better. My bf had the same problem with his pants. Otherwise, these pants were great. I was able to move with ease because of the elasticity of the fabric. They have zipper vents which come in handy when hiking. They really do keep the moisture out. They also have reinforced material on the inside ankle which are nice if you accidentally catch it with your crampons. I've been very impressed with this pant and really like it except for the waist being too big. The pants do have belt loops, so a belt will help with that problem.

syncro pant

Rating:****

The pants fit great (finally a decent pant to fit an athletic body and it moves with me). They are fabulously waterproof and breathable- the price is reasonable, too. The only beef I have is I don't like the cuffs or the little bungee to tighten them around my ski-boots. The first day I wore them, the plastic stopper came off on one of the pant legs. An internal gaiter would be better. I was impressed, though, with the bomb-proof material at the cuff which was not sliced up by my teleskis with repeated turns on the lift served days. I have not tried them touring, yet, because we have been having so much powder in the ski areas (bummer-ha).

Great Pant

Rating:*****
So, I got these pants as a softshell alternative to some OR softshells. I like my OR pants but they aren't waterproof and ended up being a disaster snowshoeing and on other warmer weather snow sport outings. The Mountain Hardware synchro pant is a GREAT waterproof alternative. They are light and stretchy but protective and keep out the wind and water. They fit pretty accurate to size. I got a medium and generally wear a 30/30 or 29/30. It is a wee bit roomy in the waist but great for layer options. Despite a little waist room, they are flattering and comfortable. I highly recommend these pants!

Great pants

Rating:****

I agree that these pants are definitely made for thin to athletic-shaped bodies, but I've found that with most of Mountain Hardwear's clothing. They do keep you dry, even sitting in the snow at length. I wore these on a snowshoeing trek recently in deep snow and they were great. Breathed well and I stayed toasty without getting too warm. Great movement, too, as I did a lot more "climbing" than trekking. I agree could be a little longer, I prefer lengths to the bottom of my shoe/boot, but they're not flood-length either for my height of 5'4" with the XS size.

Overall great

Rating:****

I have used these pants for just about everything, from mountaineering, to AT skiing, to resort skiing. I love them, and just ordered my second pair. The one beef I have with them is that while seeing on a particularly "wet" day at Crystal Mountain in Washington, they were DEFINITELY NOT waterproof. I was soaked to the bone. Maybe I have to use a waterproofing on them again, but it seemed like the water got in through the seams. But I love how they fit and how I move in them, so I will forgive one bad and unusual day...

Happy camper!

Rating:*****

These are great touring pants. I don't go to resorts, I am mostly a backcountry boarder. I have never needed to put an extra layer underneath them and have never had a problem with water getting through EVER! I highly recommend these if you're looking for something more flexible than hard shell gear. They are slightly long for me... I am 5'6, 145 lbs. The small just wont even come close to fitting around my hips. I don't recommend the white, as mine are pretty dirty and I just washed them. Great pants... couldn't be happier.

GREAT MOUNTAINEERING PANT!!!

Rating:*****

I wore these for my Orizaba climb and I love them. They move with you, are not too high in the waist and have front zip so you can use your Freshette or Lady J with out having to pull your pants down to pee!!! Very warm. I wear a 4 in women's clothes and the small in these were big enough to wear heavy weight thermals underneath and still small enough to wear alone! Great pant and worth the money!!!!

WENDY at Backcountry.com Outlet on 01/26/2008

I love them

Rating:****
I have other MH pants that are sized. The waist fits great. My syncrho pants only came in S,M or L. The waist is way toooooo big. So I use a belt, which is not a big deal. And putting all of that aside....I love my pants. I just wore them in below freezing, windy weather and I was snug as a bug. I bought them for Aconcagua and I am certain I will be happy based on my training hikes.

Great for ice climbing and skiing

Rating:*****

I have nothing but praise for these pants. They are light-weight, comfortable, warm, and stylish. I've worn them ice climbing and skiing and they've been great for both. For climbing, I was able to hike miles to the ice without getting too warm, but not get chilled when I had down time. I'm 5'4" and bought a size small which fits perfectly. My boyfriend was so envious of these pants that he recently bought the men's version.

Great pants

Rating:*****

Mountain Hardwear pants fit great if you're on the thinner/more athletic side. I'm 5'4" and the length is ok in the XS, but I'd prefer a bit longer, just a preference. Performed great, kept me dry while sitting in the snow and snowshoeing through waist-deep snow. Was plenty warm without being too warm in 20-something degree weather and silk-weight long underwear on. Nice ease of movement, too. Overall really perform well and as advertised.

Negative Reviews:

Good looking only

Rating:**

I love the ways these pants look, but they do not keep you warm AT ALL. I wear them with thick thermal long johns underneath, and I freeze at around 20 degrees F. Also, while the zippers really are sealed and waterproof, the waterproofing on the garment is a finish and it has to be resprayed after a few washes. The pants wash well, but what's the point if the waterproofing washes out along with the dirt? Definitely not worth the price.

Don't glissade in these!

Rating:*

I owned the MH Synchro jacket and was pretty happy with it so I decided to try out the pants. They fit reasonably well and I was happy with them the first few times I wore them. Then I glissaded down about 1000 feet of soft (not hard or icy) snow and the material on the butt rubbed off completely. The pants were black and after that the butt was white! I had to return them.

MIDDLE OF THE ROAD FOR THE PRICE

Rating:***

I KEPT THESE BECAUSE I WANTED THE FULL OUTFIT AND LOVED THE JACKET. THE WAIST IS LARGE (AT LEAST THERE ARE BELT LOOPS) AND I AM TRADITIONALLY A CUT AND DRIED MEDIUM. I WEAR THESE OVER GYM CLOTHES OR JUST A BASE LAYER FOR GOING OUT. I WAS ALSO A LITTLE DISAPPOINTED IN THE WARMTH. I HAVE THE SOFTSHELL S.T.P. NORTH FACE PANT WHICH I FEEL IS MORE A TRUE MEDIUM, MORE FLATTERING, NO BELT LOOPS AND WARMER. GO WITH THE NORTH FACE FOR A BETTER VALUE AND FIT.
