great pants for mountaineering

By Matt Allen Ranked #291 - Men's Ski Pants August 26, 2010

It is very difficult to find shell pants that have Full zips on the sides. (Full... from top to bottom). These come in handy when it is just blowing sideways, and you are working hard. You want the full protection but also want ventilation.
I had an older pair of marmot precip rain pants that had this feature, but finally destroyed them on a glissade.
The alpha lt pants are the pants I have been looking for. Light, yet extremely durable. Gore pro shell is not quite as breathable as eVent, but for bottoms they work great. oh... and for those who care... these are MADE IN CANADA.
