"I don't use these as softshell pants too much in the winter or as ice climbing pants. But best in class for alpine climbs that may involve glacier walks and long days. The reinforced knees are generous and have a nice texture. Highly recommend"
"These Men’s Alpine Hybrid Pants are excellent. They kept me warm in 40-degree weather with light wind and remained comfortable the entire time. The fabric is very stretchy and feels great to wear, allowing for easy movement. I really like the reinforced areas on the seat and knees they add durability where it matters most. The multiple zippered pockets are a big plus and keep items secure. Overall, they’re extremely comfortable, well-designed, and functional. Highly recommend to anyone considering buying these pants."
"There’s a lot about these pants that I love, but found the pocket zippers to be very delicate, where even on the first wear they were getting off track and the teeth biting into the fabric, to where I’d have to take the pants off and get them reset with not a small amount of effort. Aside from that these are a great pair of pants, just wore them for a 3 day climb in the Sierra and that was my only complaint."
"Really like the fit and material. Great soft shell pant."
"This is my second purchase of this pants since I enjoy is fit and built which it's my go-to-pants while trad climbing these days. Sadly, this time I found the lower slapping buttons cannot be slapped on (it seems the metal insert inside the socket is not in the proper placement). Please do a better quality control in the future"
"These are awesome. The snaps are a little weak but the buckle is great and easy to use."
"I think these are my new favorite climbing pants. I have another pair of BD pants from a few years back (I honestly don't remember what they're called) and have been liking them. I also own a couple Prana Zion pants, and while they have great stretch, they're really slim and not very durable. I was looking for something with a little more heft for longer multi-pitch routes, especially in chimneys and off-width cracks where I want a little more protection in the knees and butt."
"6' 2", 185 lbs, 31" waist - purchased size 32 and could wear without the belt (it's not removable though). Bought these for bouldering; wanted pants that would hold up to kneebars and slopey Southern topouts better. On shorter side for my height but that's a plus for me since I'll just use when climbing. Tons of stretch, super comfortable. Have not used enough to be able to speak to whether they will last significantly longer than what I usually climb in (Prana Zion Straight) but I have high hopes given there are multiple layers of fabric in high wear areas with the outer specifically said to have good wear resistance."
"Functional easy o love in and very comfortable"
"Even if you buy them a bit large or small the adjustable waist belt keeps them snug with plenty of room to move those legs in all the weird ways!"
