A wonderful softshell pant for the high mountains
I bought these pants mainly for hiking and climbing up mountains in the snow and windy cold because I wanted something that could protect me from the wind, but also breath really well when I sweating up a storm in 20-30 degree weather while going up the mountain! By far these pants have gone above and beyond in doing that...they are absolutely amazing! They have a slight trim fit to them, but you can still put a base layer underneath them for the extra warmth you need in the mountains! As for the DWR, that wears out of every item on the market which is way we Nikwax who sells a tec wash to clean your pants without taking the DWR off as fast, and they sell DWR that you spray on your garment after you have washed. Very easy and it keeps your pants going! Highly recommend to all!!!
Comfort and Sizing
This review only covers comfort and sizing for the Men's Gamma LT Pant ('09). The pants just arrived and I have not tried them outdoors yet, therefore cannot comment on warmth and durability. I am 6'0" and 185 lbs; the Large fit fine in the legs (like relaxed fit jeans), but the waist was a bit big. To keep them from sliding down while wearing a pack I would have to tighten the included web belt such that the waist band has a kink in it, which probably will not be very comfortable. Also, the butt section seems a little baggy. The inseam in Regular is just the right length. I will order the Medium size to compare the fit and decide which one to keep. Expensive pants. Hope they are warm enough as a layer under gortex pants while snowboarding, as well as cool enough for higher altitude summer hiking in California.
Wonderful product by Arcteryx
I received these pants last week and I couldn't be happier. I am not a small guy, 6'2" and 240 lbs, but I would say the XL fits me just right. As can be seen in the picture, they are somewhat trim fitting, but they also have very large amount of tretch in the fabric. They are super comfortable and stylish, as referenced by other reviewers. I am very excited to wear these out for some winter hikes and break them in. As far as value goes, everyone knows that Arcteryx isn't the cheapest brand out there, but their quality is second to none.
