With a specific tapered fit, scuff guards, and the ultimate in weather protection, the Outdoor Research Alibi Softshell Pant will be your go-to ice-climbing pant.

  • Ventia Hybrid softshell construction provides protection from wind, snow, and rain
  • The Ventia Hybrid softshell is also highly breathable and stretches for athletic movement
  • scuff guards at the cuff prevent crampons from catching, puncturing, or tearing fabric
  • Brushed fleece inner retains warmth, wicks moisture, and is soft on the skin
  • Compatible with accessory suspenders
  • Articulated knees for ergonomics

Bottom Line: Master the Ice.

Talk shop with all the gear freaks out there: ask 'em questions, upload/browse photos, and give your 2¢.

That is an appropriate use as long as it is not super wet out. These would be a great touring pant for backcountry skiing.

Sweet climbing pants

By:
December 28, 2011

I got the Alibi pant 3 months ago. I have used them exclusively for ice climbing over the past 6 weeks. Great fit, and the softshell fabric is awesome, waterproof, and warm. They allow effortless movement compared to Goretex shells I have used in the past. I spent two days in some talus below the ice wall while climbing. They seem to wear well. No tears or rips. The scuff guard is also tough. A riveted boot lace hook at the bottom front of each leg allows you to hook the pants to the laces on your boot eliminating the need for Gaiters.

As indicated in a previous review, they do not have zippers for vents, but OR does not say these have vents, so I am not sure it is a fair critique. They seem to breath pretty well. I love them.
