The Outdoor Research Exos Pants for men will get you through this season, and many more to come. The durable fabric resists wear from ski edges and crampons. It is brushed on the inside for light warmth in freezing temps. Carefully placed storage pockets keep small items in place without interfering with your stride.
One tough pant..
I have worn the Exos pants on two sheep hunts, one in the Yukon and one in British Columbia. Riding horse for over 50 miles, sliding down gravel and rock slides on my back and butt, rain, river crossings, cold nights and hot weather. These pants are one tough item. I just ordered a second pair for the when the first pair gets dirty. I don't think you can wear them out.
All in one
Great quality pants. Perfect for a cold day Kept me warm during during a day with a gusty wind and an average temperature about 25F. With a good insulation layer under, could be used in even colder climate.
Spring Skiing
A great back country pant for the spring ski season. Transitions well into summer for backpacking, alpine routes and the pub.
