Great Mountain Gear

By MikeSF Ranked #716 - Men's Softshell Pants March 4, 2008

I use the Gamma Salopette for climbing, snow-shoeing and anytime a softshell pant is needed. I spend a lot of time in the mountains above 10 thousand feet and was at first concerned about layering as the upper is also insulated but found that the zip front gave all the ventilation control I needed with a mid weight upper underneath in a near 0 to 35 degree range with a softshell jacket. Light weight bottoms were all I needed and the side zips work great to control temp when I am working full out on snow-shoes or a steep ascent. It is great to have really free movement without bunching or pressure at the waist. I now only use my old softshell pants to walk the dog.
