Finally got my hands on this coveted pair of Gamma SL pants. I’m usually a 32-R, but had to size up since the fit runs more “fitted” — especially around the crotch, which felt a bit snug for me. Sizing up made all the difference, and I’d definitely recommend it for better comfort. I recently wore them on hikes around the Squamish area, paired with my Proton SL Hoody — and together, they were the perfect match for the changing conditions this Spring. The Gamma SL pants are incredibly light next to skin, almost like wearing nothing, and the freedom of movement is unreal.
Nice fit. Much lighter than normal Gamma, but not as light as the Le Froy pants were (wish you'd bring Le Froy back). On a 77 degree day they felt light, airy, and breathable. Bought the blue color as well. Oddly the blue fabric feels just slightly heavier than the Tatsu / green color. Great for traveling. Easily hand washed in a sink and air dried over night. I wear these both hiking, and day to day. They look nice and go from office to trail with a change of foot wear. Highly recommend. Lean athletic 158lbs, 5'9, size Small. I used to buy the XS, but they fit more snug after 2.5 years of bodybuilding. The size Small has a bit of room and less snug. More room for bodybuilding growth.
These are everything I want in a summer alpine pant. Quick closure, light, fast drying, quiet, and comfortable. I've been using them for alpine climbing and fast overnights, but also for travel, hiking, and working around the house. The closure system is solid, zip pockets are functional, and colors are great.
His pants are highly versatile, and extremely comfortable. Can be worn with a sport blazer if you want to dress them up a bit. Also versatile enough to use on a hiking trip. Very light and comfortable. The end of the belt buckle flaps around a bit when the waist is tightened, and I wish they had a better solution for that, but overall excellent.
These pants offer excellent comfort and high-quality material. They breathe well, making them ideal for a variety of outdoor activities. Whether you're hiking, camping, or just on the move, their versatility and comfort make them a reliable choice. Highly recommended for anyone looking for performance and ease of movement in one pair.
I’ve been wearing the Gamma SL Pant Men’s for a few weeks and they’ve been excellent. Super light, comfortable, and flexible — perfect for hiking or just everyday wear. They breathe well, dry fast, and the fit is spot on. Great all-around pants that feel built to last.
These pants are comfortable, fit well, and are extremely versatile. Good for cold and windy weather, or hot and humid weather. Very functional and technical, with good pocket designs and belt.
This became a wardrobe staple on and off the trail! Functional for long days hiking and camping but refined enough for a day in the city or grabbing a pint in the evening.
Love your brand! Comes out brand new after washing, water resistant pants dry in no time after getting wet, fits great, stylish and supple fabric!
Great pants with nice comfort and pretty good features like the perfectly placed pockets. I use it in the mountains as well as in daily life.
