I would like a nice set of Softshell pants for winter hiking,biking, and playing in the snow. I have the MHW Dragon Softshell Jacket,... does this compare? I would like a similar fabric to the Dragon Jacket. Something with some pretty good water resistance, but i dont need full Gore-Tex hardshell.

kev. The Makalu Pant is made with an air permeable, DWR treated, softshell fabric with a brushed fleece lining on the inside for warmth. Due to the brushed lining they provide good wind protection and the DWR keeps most moisture at bay. The Dragon Jacket utilizes a fabric from Windstopper and is a little lighter feeling than the Makalu fabric. Also, due to the windstopper laminate the Dragon fabric may provide a little more weather protection overall. At this point, we don't make a pant out of the Dragon fabric but you never know what is coming in the future! I would wear the Makalu pant for climbing and skiing. I hope this info helps!
