The best midweight softshell climbing pants. Built for warmth, durability and wind protection, the Mountain Guides are made with rugged Schoeller fabric that has a 3XDRY finish for superior water-resistance. It's also breathable, quick-drying and offers 4-way stretch for complete freedom of movement. That functionality also makes these a great choice for skiing. Machine wash. Precision layering.
 
"These well fitting pants are comfortable to climb in and provide just enough protection and warmth without compromising mobility. Combined with a base layer and outer shell, the Mountain Guide pant will keep you moving in a variety of conditions." Ed Viesturs
 
This pant has great articulation in the legs and the perfect amount of fabric thickness. It's the" perfect pant choice for mountaineering, ice climbing or skiing." Chad Peele
 
"As guides, we basically live in our softshell pants. I spend 95% of my time in mine. They keep you warm when it's cold, they breathe when it's warm and they keep you dry in anything but a driving rainstorm." Seth Waterfall

  • First Ascent is cut closer to the body for a great, active fit with no bunching or binding. It is built as a complete system. All pieces - outerwear, insulating layers and baselayer - are cut so the body and sleeve lengths of each successive layer are slightly longer than the one underneath.

These are as close to perfect as you can get on a schoeller pant in my opinion. For me the big thing is fit - - most of the brands are too big in the waist and you either wind up with a baggy pair of pants that fit - -or the right fit around the waist and rear and generally tight. I think FA got the proportions right for the athlete. I wore these on a couple of trips this spring to the white mountains and thought they were great. They were a little warm at times and could benefit from a vent zip - - probably the lighter weight would do the trick. Outstanding minimalist design especially around the ankles where I prefer a tight fit to the boot just like they did it. Only one small nit would be it would be very nice to have a "short" leg length for the large size.

I rented a pair of these for a Rainier summit trip the 1st of June. They were wonderful in every way. Ours was a generally warm trip so the "lite" version may have been the way to go, but these did quite well and I did not overheat in them. They protected me, they worked well with the other gear I was wearing, and they were very comfortable. I especially liked the thigh pocket to keep my camera handy and it led to me getting some great shots of the climb.
