Arc'teryx Gamma AR Softshell Pant - Men's
best of the dead bird softshell pants

Ranked #659 - Men's Softshell Pants

Thin enough to breathe well but tough enough for backcountry skiing or backpacking or mountaineering. Like the abrasion resistance. I find the fleece-lined Arc'teryx softshells too warm during aerobic activity (these are made with a Schoeller-type material) - combining with a silkweight baselayer works the best for protection against the elements while not leaving me soaking from exertion. For the price, it's too bad they're now made in China, like a growing number of Arc'teryx products.
