Arc'teryx Alpha SL Pant - Men's
Light and Dry
By Jon D
Ranked #416 - Men's Pants
March 26, 2009
These pants are the bomb. I wore them on a recent backpacking trip where we were hiking in a constant rain for 10 to 12 hours with temps in the mid 30s. They were totally dry, light, and fended off light briers and sticks without a scratch. I initially went with the XL to go over my pants, however, later I decided if I am going to wear these I'll just take my pants off because the LT was a much better fit for hiking in. I am 6'4", 215 with a 36" waist and the XL just kept falling down and the crotch was way too low to hike in.
