Why We Like The Outdoor Research Cirque Lite Pants
Built with a light material for the shoulder seasons, the Cirque Lite Pants helps us stay comfortable in warm to cool climates with a moisture-wicking and quick-drying construction.

Great pair to wear if you are taking a short hike in the spring. It sits pretty high on the waist in my opinion. I wish it had belt loops.

Terk tested
I bought these this summer for a 5+ day trek across Isle Royale and they were perfect for this trip. Between crazy rain and trails that turned to rivers and mud bogs I feel like I put these pants to a serious test. My only complaint is that after one wash (using tech wash) they are pilling a bit in places. I plan to keep using them as a top layer when cross country skiing this winter, but I wish they still looked a bit better.

I want another pair please!
These pants are amazing! I had been searching on second hand sires for the perfect hiking pants for a 4 day Trek in Peru during rainy season and these were prefection! They aren't rainproof after being in the rain for a couple minutes but they dry out so quick, even in a humid foggy window room. They provide the right amount of protection and breathablitiy. We had to pass through mud that was mid shin and while some took there shoes off and did it, I chose to tighten my shoes and zip down my pants. I made it through with not a spec of mud on my skin and when the mud dried it just flicked off.

Great for summer mountain climbs
These were a last minute purchase since we were going to see temps in the 50's and 60's on our climb. They were great and I'm really glad I went with something lighter. The reinforced ankles are clutch and didn't rip at all during a very long climb.

Nice fabric but cuff fits weird
- Familiarity:
- I've used it several times
- Size Bought:
- M
The bottom cuff of the pants fit sort of weird. Too long and tight fit around the ankle which looks weird, and when the zipper is unzipped it also looks weird. Belt is bulky under a harness.

Live in these!
I work in Yellowstone where we often experience all four seasons in one day! These pants breathe, in rainy weather I stay dry, wind resistant and easy to clean. Love the stretch, the fabric is super flexible and easy to liven up with a fancy top to go out.

TOO BIG
I followed the size chart, but these pants are TOO BIG and not even available for exchange.
