Patagonia Super Guide Pants - Mens
Super Guide Pants

Ranked #799 - Men's Softshell Pants

I liked these pants the first time I used them, but I didn't find out how good they really were until a few days ago, when I encountered 100 mph winds and later the same day glissaded 1000 feet down a soggy snow slope. They were absolutely windproof, and much to my surprise didn't get the least bit wet sliding in the slush. Add to that a great fit, freedom of movement, etc. They are a bit pricey, but I got mine at half price by buying last year's closeout...
