Good Overall, Versatile and Comfortable.

By William G Kunz Ranked #339 - Men's Softshell Pants February 5, 2010

Overall good experience with these pants. I am 6'1" and generally wear 32x34 jeans; I have problems buying pants that I cannot choose the length as well as waist because they normally end up being too short. However, I bought the 32's in the Apex pants and the length is perfect. Plenty of room for a long underwear layer underneath too, also fit nicely over my ski boots and mountaineering boots.

I have used these for general cool weather trekking, spring backcountry skiing in the beartooths, and cold days on the lifts. I would say they are adequate for fall and spring conditions or high activity in colder winter situations, but if you are idle for long in extreme cold they are not enough. Not completely windproof or waterproof, so blowing blizzarding, or wet snows require a shell on the outside of these.
