These lightweight pants withstand granite scrapes and snow squalls, but won't leave you sweltering.
As seen in Outside Magazines Best New Gear Buyer Guide, these lightweight and durable soft shell pants are a staple for spring, summer and fall days in the alpine. Abrasion-resistant Cordura keeps things in tact when battling up long granite walls. The soft shell construction blocks the high alpine wind while allowing you to keep cool on intense leads. A gusseted crotch and articulated knees prevent binding on long, dynamic moves.

Great. Comfortable & flattering. A bit on the short side.
Beautiful fit. Super comfortable. Nice light-weight fabric.They're actually flattering, which isn't always the case with comfortable/functional clothing. However, I found them to be a bit short. I'm only 5'5" with short legs and these are barely long enough for me. Others may have a problem.
Why can't anyone make convertible pants to fit petite women?
I figured it was a shot in the dark trying these pants, but I went ahead anyway. I am a very petite woman (5', 105 lbs) who usually wears a size 0/1 or XS. I thought by the reviews of these pants that they might actually fit me, but alas, they did not. They were about 2 inches too long and about 2 sizes too big everywhere else. I guess I'll keep searching...
