Dow WilliamsExos Pants

Voted 5/5

Hard core ski/ice climbing pants. Not a shell, but more of a mid layer for true alpinist. Great for moderate temp rock climbing as well. By far the most durable mainstay pant I use for the winter season. Even when crampons get the best of them, just use tent sealer to patch them back up. Stand up to a lot of crap. I am a huge layer person, so normally this serves as the middle layer, with a real light shell on top which serves me to -30c. Pockets are all in the right place. Built-in belt that does not interfere with your pack. Has suspender loops which you need to use on ski trips. I use them in the desert a lot as well during the winter months, 50f temps. They have real good air out slots, so never too hot. OR is simply not outdone on durable, real athletic outdoor wear in my opinion.

""You cannot stay on the summit forever; you have to come down again. So why bother in the first place? Just this: What is above knows what is below, but what is below does not know what is above. One climbs, one sees. One descends, one sees no longer, but one has seen. There is an art of conducting oneself in the lower regions by the memory of what one saw higher up. When one can no longer see, one can at least still know.""   --Rene Daumal
