As seen in Outside Magazines Best New Gear Buyer Guide, these lightweight and durable soft shell pants are a staple for spring, summer and fall days in the alpine. Abrasion-resistant Cordura keeps things in tact when battling up long granite walls. The soft shell construction blocks the high alpine wind while allowing you to keep cool on intense leads. A gusseted crotch and articulated knees prevent binding on long, dynamic moves.
Great. Comfortable & flattering. A bit on the short side.
Beautiful fit. Super comfortable. Nice light-weight fabric.They're actually flattering, which isn't always the case with comfortable/functional clothing. However, I found them to be a bit short. I'm only 5'5" with short legs and these are barely long enough for me. Others may have a problem.
Why can't anyone make convertible pants to fit petite women?
I figured it was a shot in the dark trying these pants, but I went ahead anyway. I am a very petite woman (5', 105 lbs) who usually wears a size 0/1 or XS. I thought by the reviews of these pants that they might actually fit me, but alas, they did not. They were about 2 inches too long and about 2 sizes too big everywhere else. I guess I'll keep searching...
