Born of a brand worn by mountain rescuers and polar explorers alike, the Montane Men\222s Spectra Pant can take whatever Old Man Winter dishes out. Both waterproof and breathable, the Spectra keeps you comfortable and dry in the harshest conditions. Reinforcement panels on the knees and seat increase ensure durability for seasons to come. Fulllength side zips with an interior storm flap block moisture from seeping in. A high lift crotch gives you more range of motion as you hike and climb. Montane gave the Spectra adjustable volume zips on the ankles to accommodate ski boots and mountain boots alike.

  • Backcountry.com is the exclusive US retailer for Montane products

Bottom Line: This Montane pant can handle any section of the weather spectrum.

The description says that the pant is not seam taped, while claiming high (30K) waterproof rating. Is it glued? or the rating is off?

The seams looked taped to me when I saw the pants.

They're probably welded.

Nice pant, the fit is off for me.

I typically wear size M (I'm 5'11'', 32''). I couldn't stick my lower leg into size L in these. XL was predictably too large around my waist (but not too much !!!!).

Admittedly I have lots of muscles on my lower legs and if you do not -- go for it, it's a nicely designed piece for you.

Does this have integral gaitors? If so, are they removable?

Great fit, one design flaw

By:

These are slim-fitting pants - which is great for mobility, save for their one fatal flaw: when you zip down the top zipper, the waistband comes unsnapped! These would be AWESOME pants except for that flaw, since it means you either cannot zip to vent, or must put up with the top of the pants flopping over (LOP angle, anyone?) These are usable pants still, I just didn't want to spend nearly three hundred bucks on a pant with this flaw. I didn't get much use in them and returned them for a pair of Rab Latok Tour pants, also made for alpine mountaineering with the much-touted eVent material. I'll review when I get them and can try them out.
