Ranked #6 - Men's Softshell Pants
October 24, 2010
The Backcountry Guide Pant is the best pant I've found for backcountry skiing. A perfect mid-weight soft shell, with waterproof panels on the butt and knees to keep you dry while sitting down for lunch or kneeling to rip skins. Fits over even an alpine boot easily with the minimalist style gators. Huge side vents help dump heat, and the whole pant breathes well. Slimmer fitting than a traditional ski pant from Patagonia, but not tight by any means. Great in a variety of temps, and still good nasty weather protection w/ the DWR on the soft shell.

would you say it would be good for snow hiking/mountaineering?
