Gear Review
Boulders to Big Walls and Beyond.
By Cedar Wright
Ranked #324 - Men's Softshell Pants
September 9, 2009
I wore a pair of these up Raphael in Patagonia this year with a pair of medium weight wool long underwear and they fit the bill perfectly. As a stand a lone pant they are great for hiking, bouldering, or bigwalling in Yosemite. These pants are super light....dry out amazingly fast if soaked and repel water up to a certain point. Great do it all pants for the climber, trekker, or traveler.

To lights, looks more oriented for running. Any way up to now still on my closet...as soon as I wear on the "field" I will have better idea...
