Montane eVent Spectra Pant - Men's
Great fit, one design flaw

Ranked #460 - Men's Ski Pants

These are slim-fitting pants - which is great for mobility, save for their one fatal flaw: when you zip down the top zipper, the waistband comes unsnapped! These would be AWESOME pants except for that flaw, since it means you either cannot zip to vent, or must put up with the top of the pants flopping over (LOP angle, anyone?) These are usable pants still, I just didn't want to spend nearly three hundred bucks on a pant with this flaw. I didn't get much use in them and returned them for a pair of Rab Latok Tour pants, also made for alpine mountaineering with the much-touted eVent material. I'll review when I get them and can try them out.
