These soft shell pants are warm, but breathable, making them ideal for cold powder days. The cuffs secure tightly around your boots, keeping snow out. Side vents with concealed zippers give you airflow on the uptrack. A water-repellant finish lets you brush snow away.
warm and comfortable
I like the high waist design especially. I'm 5'4, 120lb and size small fits perfectly. The inseam is not 29'' as described, maybe 29.5 or 30'' something. Very warm and comfortable.
Can't go wrong with Outdoor Research
Very attractive on as well as nice fitting. Great range of motion thru the knee. The fleece lining is soft and comfortable on its own or with a cap first layer. The Solitude is not bulky so it will work great with a shell pant over the top for extra warmth. I'll know more upon my return from Everest base camp November 1st, 2009.
Nice on Ice!!!!
I love the OR Solitude Pants! Classic look...and warm! Wear mine while ice climbing in zero degree F temps. I think they are much warmer than my old Patagonia Guide Pants. The Solitude pants are not too bulky and I have a great range of motion in them...even with a pair of expedition weight long underwear underneath. Wasn't sure about the color brown...i'm more of a black kind of gal...but wanted to mix things up. The brown pants look awesome...and no the color does not make my butt look big! I wear the OR Mithral Stormshell on top...very warm with generously sized hood to make room for my helmet. The color: BlueJay looks great with the brown. Happy adventures!
