| Strengths: |
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. |
| Weaknesses: |
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. |
| Overall: |
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.
