Great X-Country Pant

By ILoveSequoia Ranked #661 - Women's Casual Pants March 2, 2009

Wore these on an overnighter cross country backcountry trip (Sierra Nevada). I was surprised at how dry they stayed! We had good weather the first day - and they moved nicely, felt good, nice moisture wicking - really kept the snow off. As soon as it started snowing heavily, though, I opted for a heavier duty waterproof pant. I also wore gaiters to keep the snow out of my boots and the bottoms of the pants perfectly dry, as we were breaking trail at some points. I was pleasantly surprised at the warmth and comfort of these pants. On a groomed or easy backcountry slope, no other pant would be needed. If you fall a lot, you probably want to consider a more water resistant pant, or carry something in your pack.

Also, I am only 5'1", 140 lbs, and I bought a medium. They weren't OVERLY long, which made it nice, and the mediums fit comfortably over a base layer.
