I bought these ahead of a climb in the north cascades and absolutely love them. The reinforced area on the bottom worked well with crampons - no annoying crampon skewer holes in the bottom, lol. High rise worked well with a pack/harness. Reasonably wind proof and water resistant. The inclusion of the Recco tab at the bottom is a really nice touch and added peace of mind. I got these on sale and I think for the price these are a great find. I’m usually a 6 (29 inch waist), but sized up for the 8 in these and glad I did.
Honestly these are the most fabulous alpine pant I have found. I know so many people are into the Cirque 3 right now, but those were too short for me and the waist wasn’t quite right. These are a longer inseam, built in gaiter, and a truly high rise pant. And the color is super flattering. Could not be happier!
Honestly I love these. The fit is perfect. High rise, built in gaiter, fabulous fabric. These are awesome. Purchased for my hike up Mt Rainer this year but these will be part of the regular rotation. I’d say they run a little small. I’m typically a 6, but the 8 worked really well for me.
