The Outdoor Research Women's Enigma Pants may weigh a mere 18 ounces, but they stand up to alpine and backcountry abuse like it's easy as pie. And not even a regular pie- a nice, juicy, homemade rhubarb one. Anyway, the fully seam-taped Gore-Tex Paclite fabric helps keep weight to a minimum while Gore-Tex Pro reinforcements add plenty of durability in high-wear areas. Use the integrated gaiters to keep snow out of your boots on a ski tour, or zip them off streamline your fast and light alpine climbs. In addition to waterproof breathable performance and amazing versatility, the Outdoor Research Enigma Pants also include full-length side zippers for easy layering and a veritable mountain (forgive the pun) of ventilation options.

Bottom Line: Whether you prefer to climb up mountains or ride down them, trust in the Outdoor Research Enigma Pants for the lightweight protection you need.

Good shell pants

By:

Nice, durable, gore-tex shell pants with full side zips. I've mainly been using these for hiking / mountaineering and they have kept me really dry. Stash it at the bottom of my pack and when needed, super easy on and off with the full zip. The gore-tex pro shell feels very durable, too, and is reinforced in all the essential places.

With all that said, I have two small complaints
1. These run a bit short. I'm 5'3" and nothing is short on me! ;-) I usually wear these over gaiters so it's fine, but they are a tad bit short.

2. no pockets at all. As noted in the other review, these pants have no pockets (other than the one near the ankle which i've never used). I see the benefits of this, and as a shell pant, it's just fine...but I wouldn't necessarily want to wear these as a go-to ski pant just because it's pretty inconvenient not to have any pockets.

simple, great

I am enjoying the simplicity of these pants. My only note is that there are no pockets at the waist or rear. There is a single "stash" pocket at the foot, presumably reachable by someone sitting on a chairlift.

Otherwise they have every feature you'd expect of a high-quality gore-text backcountry pant. The stronger gore-text in the seat and knees is perfect while the lighter pac-lite gore-text suits well for the rest of the pant.

I layer with one or two underlayers and can always open side zips for venting.

Happy purchase!
