Mountain Hardwear  Stretchdown Light Pants - Men's

Love the pants, wish they’d have a different type of drawstring or tighter cuff at the ankle. When I wear them around the house one will usually fall under my heel which is annoying. Also wish the price wasn’t so high, but I got a decent discount with a code!

I absolutely positively love these pants. I am 511, weigh 180 and waist 33 inch. Mediums fit great. They keep me warm with temps down to teens with just a very light base layer underneath. Yet light enough that I can wear them with temps in the 60s and not feel overheated. Very comfortable. Great pockets. I own two pair, black and camo, and bought my daughter a pair of this past Christmas. I don’t need another pair, but good grief they’re on sale again in a color I don’t have. 🙄

When it's really cold I throw these guys on and I'm immediately impervious to the bitter blowing cold. Gloves, hat, puffy, insulated boots, but the legs were always the weakest link. What's nice is how unbelievably stretchy they are, and breathable when it gets warmer or you transition out of the cold you don't absolutely freak out from overheating. Winter hut trips will be where these shine, but casual parking lot aprés is really where you'll show them off.

These pants replaced insulated tech pants from a leading outdoor equipment brand. Since I'm not using insulated pants to climb cutting edge routes in Patagonia or other exotic alpine exploits in the great ranges in the world, and since I'm not a sponsored climbing ambassador for edgy designers of their clothes who supply their ambassadors their clothing, I don't need complicated designs using overly complex and fragile articulations that wear out quickly, I started looking around for well designed, durable down pants for comfort—and longevity. I landed on these, and I'm very pleased. They ARE sturdy, and promise to last several seasons. The fabric seems pretty tough, yet they feel weightless. They have two seams, unlike many technical insulated pants. And they have even surprised me by being fairly water resistant in brief mountain squalls. Thank you!

[Employee of mountainhardwear] I got my first pair of these pants a while back and the longer I owned that pair the more uses I found for them , and the more I liked them. This is my fourth pair and I have been getting rid of other pants that these are replacing. Water resistant, keeps you warm when you need it and they are not insulating so they are ok in warmer weather as well. They have a great fit and look really good.

Second pair, only bought because I'm afraid I'll eventually ruin the first. I wear these for everything: base layer you can wear to apres for resort skiing, pajama pants at hut trips and around camp at night on the river, even around home sometimes. They never seem to be too warm, and only not warm enough on the coldest windiest of lift rides. These stretch and move well, seem to resist stains and rips.

I have insulated pants that are so warm that I start sweating as soon as I move. These are lightweight with the right amount of insulation and breathability for a winter walk. Comfortable fit, I can wear these under shell pants or on their own. The quilting pattern and matte finish doesn’t scream “Michelin man” when you wear them alone.

I wanted something I could put on in the Michigan winter to walk to my workouts and back home, something that didn't involve the time and hassle of layering and didn't look like ski pants. I'm 5'7" so it has been impossible to find insulated outdoor pants that fit until I discovered that Mountain Hardware makes short lengths. I decided to spend the money on these, and they're so worth it. Not only do they fit great, but they perform better than I expected. They're windproof and warm but also breathable and super comfortable. Without any additional layers, they keep me warm down to about 15 F, or may be lower, while just walking. Adding a base layer could probably keep you warm down to about zero. I haven't tried running in them, but they're so breathable they might not feel too hot. The pockets are handy. The tapered legs tuck into my Sorel snow boots easily, and the subtle quilting doesn't look too weird for wearing around town on errands. They're perfect!

Perfection! I've been on the search for a down pant that isn't made for 5'9 guys that are 250lbs. No offense to you fellas but us long legged guys seem to get left out in the cold (pun kinda intended) when it comes to length. Mountain Hardware knocked this out of the park all around. I need another pair before they disappear.

Love the pant! They are surprisingly very warm and i like the style of the baffles compared to other styles. It does make it a. Little harder to clean/dry through. The pants are a little wide in the thigh but would be good to throw over other pants to keep warm
