Patagonia Alpine Guide Softshell Pant - Women's

For days that involve ski touring and mixed ice and rock climbing, pull on the Patagonia Women's Alpine Guide Pants and enjoy a durable and weather-resistant fit that doesn't restrict your variable movements. The stretch-woven polyester breathes moisture when you skin in to the climb, and resists water and abrasion when you're grunting your way up some drippy scare-fest. Four pockets hold your camera, lip balm, and other essentials, and the brushed micro fleece lining adds comfort and warmth at the chilly belay.

Bottom Line: The only pant for all of your alpine adventures.

Where do these hit on your waist??? I prefer lower rise... I hate the high waisted thing.

They are somewhat high-waisted. I am 5'4", and they definitely come to my natural waist (although not up into my ribcage, as some high-waisted pants can). Personally I find this waist height more comfortable for winter camping/hiking pants. I love mine, I have the brown and just ordered another pair in black, they're very comfortable. (I wear either a 6 or an 8 in Patagonia depending on the style, and I went with the 8 in these so I can wear my long underwear comfortably underneath.)

Life Saver!

These pants are terrific! i have used them backpacking in the Grand Canyon and in Alaska. and they worked perfectly in both places. I am usually a cold hiker and i was perfect not to cold, not to hot.
i dont think i will ever wear a different pair pants backpacking again. they also have been great for rock climbing in the winter. overall great pant. in really bad rain, i recommend a rain layer though.

The ankles look narrow, so I'm wondering if the two snap cinch is wide enough to get around a plastic boot.

there's a gusset once the cinch is opened up and it shouldn't have a problem fitting around your boot

Absolutely fantastic pants

Since I bought these pants I haven't taken them off. They are simply amazing - much more that I expected! The pockets have beautiful, durable zipers and the detailing at the waist and at the hem is striking. They are wonderful protection against cold, wet weather, yet can be worn arouned the house in comfort. How did I ever get by before I found them??? I ask myself that question every day !

I can't decide between the Patagonia Alpine Guide Softshell

I can't decide between the Patagonia Alpine Guide Softshell pant and the Arc'teryx Gamma AP Pant...both seem to be suitable for all kinds of outdoor activities in the cold. Any differences in the size S fit? Inseam? I prefer longer pants - Help!

The arcteryx comes in tall for longer legs, but the alpine guide has long legs per size, so either or. I went for these pant since the arc AR only comes in grey now, but they seem pretty much the same! these are wider at the bottom, so might be a better fit depending on your boots.

Great All-Purpose Pants

By: Backcountry.com Employee

Super pants! From sport climbing in J-Tree to backcountry skiing in the Wasatch and even mountaineering in Ecuador, these pants have been there for me. They kick ass - durable, lightweight, flexible, they shed light rain and dry fast. They are best for cool weather - spring, fall, and winter. The guide pants do stretch but they generally fit an athletic bodytype best. You'll have these pants for years.
