Love this pant. This review will be short and sweet, but quite frankly, this pant speaks for itself.
-Lived in this pant for over two weeks. Wore them everyday. Got really dirty, but surprisingly pretty stink free.
-I had a decent slip on Whitney MR route on some Talas, and thought "great, there they go...how big is the rip going to be?" Hardly any abrasion what so ever. Amazing.
-Belt system, like many others, does not exactly work. But there are belt loops and I have used one on more than one occasion.
-Schoeller is some kind of wonder material. Wore them in moderate snow at 2 AM and because of my body heat and the material, they never really got wet. I even glissaded in them in really wet snow and I got damp, but that was it. Dried quickly once we were moving again.
These pants are terrific. Because of these, I purchased the Alto and another soft shell (forget the name). You could do much worse then buy these, and since they are on sale, the decision is an easy one. You will not be sorry. They are tough climbing pants.
I got a version of these pants in 2005...and I'm still wearing the same pair! These are my go-to trekking pants and are amazing for alpine routes as well. I have definitely gotten my money's worth.
