Lightweight stretch nylon, a gusseted crotch, and articulated knees all add to the unrestricted feel you get in the Arc'teryx Men's Rampart Pants. Designed for the trails and cliffs, these Arc'teryx pants take on a multi-day hike or weekend of cragging without breaking a sweat. OK, so pants don't sweat anyway, but in these lightweight pants, neither will you. *Only available for US shipment.
Bottom Line: Go light, move freely, wear the Arc'teryx Rampart Pants.
Excellent fit, super comfortable and light weight, especially in warm weather. Partially water repellent. The pockets are cleverly designed and do away with velcro or zippers. So, no fumbling in getting stuff in/out quickly. Bought a second pair already!!
Very comfortable and lightweight but protective too. I live in Seattle and wear them on rainy/drizzly days on my 2 mile walk to work. They keep me dry plus they look good enough to wear throughout the day at the office. Would definitely recommend to anyone.
I took these pants to a special missions assessment in some very harsh and hot terrain/climate. They kept me dry; however, the crotch runs high on them causing some irritation. If you plan to be using them in the midwest I would be cautious of the thin material... the burrs on some of the vegetation will tear away at your shins. Plus there is no zipper or buttons on the pockets
Recommendation: replace the crotch with a stretchy fabric of some sort to increase mobility and stitch some reinforced fabric to the shin area for extra protection
