What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"I lived in these for a five-day traverse, and the reinforced knees and seat held up through every scramble and scree field. The thigh pocket kept my map accessible without ever digging into my hip belt."Patagonia's Terravia Peak Pant is built for the trip where day one blurs into day five, where you're kneeling on granite in the morning and post holing through scree by afternoon. The gusseted crotch and articulated knees move with every high step and scramble, so the pants disappear and the terrain takes over. Reinforced panels at the knees and seat shrug off abrasion in the spots that wear out fastest, while a removable adjustable belt with loops means you can dial in fit or swap in your own without breaking stride. Five pockets, including a zippered thigh pocket that sits flat under a harness, keep essentials close without adding bulk to a pack.
