The Outdoor Research Men's Credo Pants shed moisture with a fully seam-taped nylon softshell face fabric, and a brushed fleece lining provides an excellent next-to-skin feel. These 20-ounce pants make a smart pick for ice and alpine climbers who want solid weather protection with top-notch breathability. Outdoor Research gave the Credo Pants a gusseted crotch to allow you to move freely up an alpine ridge or steep ice pitch.
Bottom Line: Get the breathability of softshell fabric and the extra protection of fully taped seams when you head into the mountains with the Outdoor Research Credo Pants.
Great comfy fabric, repels the elements, perfect soft shell pant for ski touring, alpine climbing and ice climbing. Good pockets, scuff guards, and a great weight.
I just see small sizes left on backcountry and don't see the pants on ORs site. Are they out of production and if so whats the next best comparable pants?Thank you.
Nope, they aren't out of production. The Credo pant is a Fall/Winter item and OR has updated their website to reflect their Spring/Summer line-up. If you poke around on the website you can find the Fall 2008 product line which includes the Credo pants. Backcountry will likely have more in stock come September when the Fall/Winter 2009 product range comes in. Hope that helps.
great choice. Not too warm-soft liner, not really for insulating but more for comfort. This is what I was looking for something light that I could use while winter hiking and snowshoeing. inside of the ankles is real solid durable material which was great for the snowshoes. prevents snagging and tearing. stretchy fabric allowed great easy movement. I can't say enough about how comfy they are. solid choice for active pursuits
Any ballpark guesses on what temp. range this pant would keep the legs warm in, say with no baselayer(just as a reference). I'm guessing maybe 40 degrees?
I have a pair of these and with no baselayers, standing still i would say 30s. active, 20's. Just by adding a baselayer though I would shave another 10 degrees off. I used them this year snowshoeing around 25 degrees with a merino baselayer and it was a bit too warm while active.
I wore these pants during a two week trip to Alaska. They proved to be very strong and resistant to rock abrasions. They also make light work of shedding water, snow and ice. I found them very comfortable but as with other items from OR I have problems with the sizing. I'm usually a medium but find that with OR I have to get a large which is a bit too big for me. If I could improve the pants in any way it would be by providing some ventilation. On warmer days they were a bit too warm! Then, I run hot most of the time so it could just be me.
Went backcountry skiing in these and hiking in them and they withstood the snow, wind, and they were warm. Usually i do wear these under a hard shell when i go skiing but if the temperature and weather in nice, why not these. After a day out in the outdoors I wear these around town and they look cool. Also the gusseted crotch is nice along with the reinforced ripstop on the inside of the ankles where my skis rip all other pants. Great product.
These pants are awesome! Perfect fit, great stretch. Couldn't be happier. I wanted something for snowy days around town, and these are the ticket. I like that they fit like normal pants, rather than big, bulky ski pants. I have a hard time with many pants, as I tend to like pants that move with me. These are perfect if you find yourself stretching often, or sitting on the floor, or doing yoga in the snow ;). Can't say the same with my baggy snow board pants.
I wore these pants on a trip up Cotopaxi in Ecuador. I took a spill and managed to smack my leg with a crampon above the crampon guard on these pants. I tore my long underwear and cut my leg open but there wasn't a mark on the OR Credo's. They were warm, great for walking or scrambling and protected me from 40+mph winds, sub zero temps, rain, snow and ice. I couldn't have dreamed up a better pair of soft shell pants to make the climb in.
What I love about these pants is their breathability and the DWR finish they have. They are great trekking, or on Ice routes. The leg zips make them easy to put on over leather boots and the heavy-duty instep reinforcement almost makes me want to wear them without gaiters. Almost. A nice warm and breatheable piece.
