Mens softshell pant recommendation
|
I've had a lot of difficulty finding some softshell pants to purchase, so I was wondering if someone might steer me in the right direction. I'm 5'10" and seem to have a short legs for my height, my inseam is 29" with a waist of 34". Most gear manufacturers even for size 'small' tend to make a 30" or 31" inseam. Ideally I would be looking for something other than black and with some sort reinforcement along the inner calve area to prevent crampon punctures. |

Arcteryx , gamma mx grey . |

Gators will only somewhat protect you from crampon punctures. |
|
NW Alpine Fast/light pants are nice, they come in a grey. |
|
Thanks for the replies. All of those were good options. Looking online I like the arcteryx the best, but will need to try them on in person to be 100% certain about that. I will also keep the NW Alpine in mind in the future. |

I just got a pair of Outdoor Research Cirque pants and they were awesome for an overnight on Mt Whitney. Can't say much else though because I've barely used them. |
|
I have very similar inseam and waist dimensions, and I find Arc'teryx "M" standard length soft shell pants fit me the best. |
|
I have some older Marmot Scree pants that came in a short inseam that are pretty nice that come in shorter lengths. REI used to make some as well that came in different lengths. |
|
I second the mountain hardwear (warlow) hybrid pants. Nice and stretchy, slimmish fit perfect for a base layer. They shed water, snow and chalk well. Even comfortable climbing hard in the gym. Wish they had back pockets though. |

Prana zion makes 30" inseam which i own and use ... Mostly on rock though |

The Marmot Scree pants come in three lengths. They have a 34x30. No crampon patch / guard, you'd have to wear gaiters. marmot.com/products/details… |
