I really like these. I was looking for a Winter pant that I could wear with layers. I'm 5'10", 170, 35w, 32i and ordered a large and am happy with the looser fit. They have a more durable feel than most hiking/climbing pants but still move well and stretch when you need them to. Really well made with good stitching throughout. Built in belt works well and doesn't come loose while your walking.

Durable and capable pants not durable belt attachment

I've used these pants on Mount St Helens and have done some light snowboarding with them and a couple other hikes, The pants themselves are extremely durable and handled temperature really well I've done mid-30s with no base layer underneath and haven't had an issue with warmth( I run very warm naturally), DWR, water resistance and scratch resistance are fantastic on them. The one issue I had is the belt attached the pants snapped on me and there's not much else in terms of belt loops so I would not be able to use my own belt on it besides the one belt loop on the back of the pant. The pants do run short which works for someone like me that's got a 28 or 29 inseam at about 5'8

Really great Pants (1 year review)

I really like these pants, they are heavy enough to keep you warm on a cooler day, but not hot. I also like the minimal logo and simplicity of these, wear them most days.

Great Mountaineering Pants

Great pant for all around use. Handles varying terrain well in how it manages body temp as well as stands up to rocks scratching against it.

These pants are well made but they are not a Slim Fit. They felt like I was wearing Bellbottoms from the 70’s. I don’t know what MH is thinking that these are a Slim Fit. The material is heavy duty and good quality but Way to Big All Around. MH needs to update the fit on these pants. I returned mine.

Design flaw

Good quality material and constructions but unfortunately poor design flaws. There is a snap that pops open with the slightest pressure on the waist band. Potentially making for a very embarrassing situation. There are no belt loops to back up the incorporated waist band tie. I am 6ft, 183lbs and usually wear 32 waist and I have a runners build. These fit skin tight across the hips and thighs. Putting a pair of soft shell gloves in the thigh pocket was to tight and unconformable. They ride low in the back. Especially when you bend forward. I tested these in the mountains and they did not pass. I am getting ride of them. Recommendations 1. Use a button of more durable fastener. 2. Add belt loops to back up the integrated waist tie. 3. Add about 3 cm to the back up the pant. 4. Add more material across the hips and thighs to accommodate athletics built people.
