FIRST CLASS PANT
Durable, fairly lightweight, very waterproof, breathable, great price, re-inforced inner ankle to stop you shredding up the the trousers with your crampons, 3/4 length water resistant zippers down the side give added breathability when need, and make taking them on an off easy, avoiding taking off footwear. Taped seams. Great fit.
No fly. Can make having a pee bit more difficult than it needs to be. The hydrolite fabric isn't as breathable as some of the other fabrics on the market such as event.
Fantastic pant. Really can't reccomend it highly enough. I don't know why it says on here that they are 60 quid, i picked mine up for 49 brand new off the high street. This price is astounding. I walked in to the shop looking to buy some rab latok pants, the shop had some, but i tried on a few other trousers. The difference between them is pretty much just 85 quid. I don't really know what you miss out on either, except for a fly. I have an event jacket and i dont think event is much more breathable. It isnt as important to have a breathable bottom half as it is to have a breathable top half in any case. These pants are simply great.
