Great for expedition use
"More than for skiing, these pants are also very appropriate for expedition use when light weight and full side zippers are required. Weight is 370g on my scale for a medium and packability is on par with ultralight down pants or jackets of the same weight. I like the zippered side pockets that many do not have. I used them successfully on a climb of Mt Logan in Yukon with a strategy of base layer, soft shell, hardshell, down, and would do the same if I attempt Denali in the future."
