Nice Pants for the Backcountry

By Rob Conn Ranked #155 - Men's Softshell Pants February 1, 2011

These are great pants, I've used them for some backcountry skiing, some warm resort skiing, and playing some pond hockey and they've rocked. I usually pair them with a pair of capilene long johns and they've been good at a range of temperatures thanks to the vents, which feature a nice mesh. My only complaint is that they could have used a windproof fabric on the thighs, if it's howling out I usually go with a pair of windproof tights on underneath or go with a different pant. The gaiter cuffs aren't adjustable but they fit over my downhill ski boots with no problem, and hold snug.
