M.H. Tanglewood Pant

By BW Ranked #133 - Men's Softshell Pants September 21, 2011

These are the paired-down version of the M.H. Nima Pant. The same material is used in the Tanglewoods (thorngard), which is a mid-to-light weight softshell. First, the fit is perfect. For reference, I am 5'10'' 185 and the mediums fit perfect around the waist. Trim through the legs, but not tight, which is perfect for alpine climbing (the best use for this pant). Enough room for a mid-weight base layer, without being skin tight. A couple of zip hand pockets, gusseted ankle zips, and a built in webbing belt are pretty much the features. What sets these pants (and the Nimas) apart from others is the material/construction. The thornguard soft-shell material is a step above other companies. I have soft-shell climbing pants from other companies that show a lot of abrasion from glissading, and self arresting. After a recent 2000 ft. descent sliding on my ass over snow/ice, these pants show little damage. That's proof enough for me. Price could be lower, but we all know that ain't gonna happen..
