3 Pairs Men’s Eddie Bauer First Ascent Guide Pro Pants

Howdy

Looking to turn around my impulse buys as I clear out the closet for the season. I have 3 2 almost new pairs of the First Ascent Guide Pro Lined Pants

BLACK PAIR SOLD

TAN PAIR SOLD

https://www.eddiebauer.com/p/12951203/mens-guide-pro-lined-pants?rrec=true&size=&sp=1&color=Saddle

Each pair has been worn casually for one day, never seen dirt, sweat, or anything else, and are otherwise brand new. I have one each of black, khaki, and gray, all are 32Wx34L.
My only catch is that if I don’t sell all of them, I want to keep the gray ones. So if somebody only wants one or two pairs, I will be keeping the gray ones until last or until enough people are interested that all pairs are accounted for. These are $100 each on the Eddie Bauer site and I haven’t found them on any of the discount site. Asking price is $65 each, $115 for two and I’ll cover shipping.

Open to trades of anything really. Top interest would be alpine gloves, hangboard, climbing holds, TC pro or similar shoes (44.5), old pair of usable backcountry/alpine skis, or anything else cool. 

Can vouch that these pants are awesome, regardless of the fact that they aren’t made by a typical climbing brand

How warm is the fleece liner? Any movement restrictions in them? Is that lasts pair blue or black?

Thanks

i mean, maybe the recent generation doesnt consider EB a typical climbing brand, but back in the 50s and 60s, they were THE climbing brand (also before my time) in the mountaineering world...but i get the point you are making.

"Up until 1950s, Eddie Bauer was associated with hunters, fishermen and outdoorsmen, but it was time to become “Expedition Outfitters.” A team of eight American mountaineers, three of them from Seattle, came to Eddie in the fall of 1952 with a request for a mountaineering down parka. The best in the world were made in France, and the group wanted an American-made parka for their attempt at the first ascent of K2, the world’s second-tallest mountain. The resulting jacket was named the Kara Koram, after the mountain range, and became known for its life-saving quality after the team failed to reach the top due to disastrous weather but showed great heroism in saving all but one climber’s life, including a save infamously known as “The Belay.” The group and Bauer’s equipment became known worldwide. 

The rest of the 1950s were characterized by continued attempts at first ascents, and the Kara Koram was used all over the world. It wasn’t until 1958 that an American team, clad in Eddie Bauer down, made the first ascent of one of the world’s fourteen 8000-meter peaks, Gasherbrum I, and they summited the peak wearing another Bauer innovation: down parkas with ripstop nylon. The material had been used in sleeping bags for 2-3 years and, at the suggestion of the climbing team, Bauer used it as the outer shell of his parka to keep the weight low but maintain durability. This material was then used in the most extreme parka ever made by Bauer, the Mt. Everest Parka, in 1963."

I love these pants and highly recommend them!

Warm enough to hang around belaying and be comfy, but breathable enough that I can climb in them without sweating. Definitely flexible enough  to climb and move freely. I have gray, tan, and black

Black pair sold. 

Bump, offer me something useful to trade so I can get these out of my closet.

tan pair has been sold. Plan to close this thread and add the one remaining pair to my larger sale thread. Thanks, y’all.
