Outdoor Research

Balebreaker Pant - Men's

Cool Pants!

This looked like awesome pants, but they were two inches longer than I expected. I'm usually a 32, but these were definitely too big. I'm sad I couldn't get my size when I went back to order the right one because it was out of stock.

Baggy as 80s parachute pants

Nothing slim about these pants. Waist is smaller than marked and seat/legs/hem are as sloppy as a trash bag. Award winning? Perhaps the fabric is great but the fit is terrible. Excess material in outdoor clothing hinders performance. I own several Outdoor Research products but they missed the mark on these pants.

Another Winner

Fantastic fit. Bought a second pair! Need a khaki color!

I'll wear these for life!

These are my everyday pants Just enough stretch and durability for everything. I work in wetlands, woodwork, and house renovation projects and these pants are amazing for all of those applications!

Super comfortable

These are super comfortable. Wear them hiking in cooler weather, to the office, around town, around the house. Very practical and versatile. They seem very durable, especially compared to other OR pants I have

Excellent Pant. Need More Colors!!

Bought two pairs in different colors. I'm always looking for pants that can function well outdoors and in a business casual setting. A lot of pants out there seem to have a side/hip slash pocket which ruins being able to use them in business casual/night out type setting. These are perfect! They look good. They feel good. Nice thickness to the fabric. The sizing was the same between the two pairs, which is always a plus. I returned the one "Curry" color because I was hoping for more of a khaki/tan color and this was a little too...orangish mustard color for me. I guess when they said "Curry" they weren't kidding. One of those "hard to tell the exact color from the online pictures" type thing. NOT a knock on OR or the pants at all. They need to consider making these in a tan or browner color. They'd sell out quick. I know I'd be in for a couple of them.

Super comfortable, great range of motion.

These are the best stretchy climb pants I have purchased. The built-in belt is the best I have seen in pants this style. The cut is classy and passes for a night on the town. The performance is welcome on every outdoor adventure I have worn them on. Fit is true to size.

10/10 would buy again

Best pants I've owned

Sturdy upgrade

In love with the Ferrossi pant but wanted something a little thicker for colder weather and harder work. This fit the job perfectly. Sturdy but flexible. Love it

Balebreaker pants!

So far it's a great product. It's slim enough that I don't feel like my pants will catch on any rocks, but also roomy enough that I have enough flexibility in my legs. Durability seems quite good. I would recommend this for anything except winter climbing as the material feels thin and I can feel the wind as I bike. Would highly recommend for climbing as well as any active activity that's not in winter.
