Outdoor Research Exos Softshell Pant - Men's - 2007 BCS

Great fit, nice pockets, simple slightly warmer and burly soft shell pant. Perfect summer alpine climbing pant.

I wish I could keep these, but, alas they are too small! The material is perfect for what I am looking for: spring skiing in the PNW. Cuffs definitely fit over T2Xs and because the ankle zip is gusseted, it doesn't matter that you can't zip it all the way. I am able to adjust my top buckle without pulling the pant leg up. Pockets are great (surprisingly effective are the thigh pockets), belt is great, inseam is great. They are too small though. I got size small and am 5'5" 125/130 and about a 29 waist - this waist is too small for active sports and there is very little room in the hood area. I'd bump to the mediums but a 33 waist on those will have me swimming. Unfortunate, I want to keep them. I'd give them a 5 but I won't get a chance to test their outdoor worth.

This pants are easy on the body as a Sunday morning, but tough as rhino skin on the elements. I wore them during a climbing trip and they handled extremely well in cold, wet, icy and windy conditions; the granite left no trace on the pants and I am still sore from smiling. I am heading to the Alps, and can't wait to test them there. This pants give me the warms and fuzzies!

I wear these over 40-50 days a year (I have two pair): Skiing (backcountry and resort instructing), ice climbing, and cool weather mountaineering. Love em. Breathe well, shed light rain and snow, and have a touch of warmth. I wear a ultralight baselayer down to about 20F and powerstretch baselayer when it is colder. LOVE the gusseted ankle zips...can pull them over my ski and plastic climbing boots so I rarely need gaitors. Pockets are good on the go, but I do wish there was a hip pocket for my wallet once we head to the pub.

Awesome pants! I have used them for skitouring, snowshoeing, iceclimbing, scrambling and more, and they have performed perfectly. Windresistant, breathes well, durable and it in no way inhibits movement, but is still snug in its fit. Perfect.

bought the exos on sale...great buy...x-country ski in em,hike in em, work outdoors in em...plenty of pockets that zip...comfortable fit..rugged yet flexible..blocks most wind and plenty warm w light layer..good above 30* w/out..bought a 2nd pair on sale 6 mos. later...now, if the exos jacket will show up on sale...

Definitely bomb-proof. Just the right amount of stretch to stay flexible. Great at keeping some light rain off on my last trip out, also great at keeping me warm when the temp dropped about 20 degrees shortly after the rain....

This pant is great for ice, mixed, or cold alpine climbing. The leg is tapered to keep the cuff out of the way, and the softshell material is really impressive at shedding both water, ice, snow, and at keeping the chills at bay. Just a great pant.

this was my go to alpine pant, alpine climbing, ice climbing or backcountry skiing....had two pair last me forever and put up with a ton of abuse before failing at the seams...but OR has gone the way of so many other clothing companies, keeping the obese happy and stiffing us fit normal dudes at 5'11", 150lbs I guess I am a bit wormy, but when I put on a new small pair of these (had not bought any in years), my wife said forget function, she absolutely would not allow it. They were a foot off the floor! Guess I have to find an alpine clothing company willing to make a reasonable inseam length for somebody with a 30" waist (ok, more like 28"!).
