What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"I wore these under a hardshell on a cold ski touring day and they handled the elevation swings without ever feeling clammy. By the time I got back to camp, they were comfortable enough to just keep wearing around the fire."A good fleece pant has to work as hard as you do and then let you relax the moment you stop, and the HIMALI Endeavor Fleece Pant covers both ends of that equation. Wear them alone on a brisk winter run, or layer them under the Monsoon Hardshell Pant 2. 0 for a day of mountaineering or skiing, and the 157 gsm fleece keeps pace with rapid elevation changes without trapping heat you don't need. A flexible drawstring waist stays put through dynamic movement, whether you're kicking steps up a slope or settling into camp at the end of the day, and large zippered hand pockets with lightweight mesh keep small essentials secure without adding bulk. The tapered cut makes these just as comfortable as a standalone layer as they are tucked underneath a shell, rounding out a pant built by someone who's tested layering systems on all fourteen of the world's 8,000 meter peaks.
