What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"I wore these on a multi-day alpine route through some genuinely nasty weather, and the GORE-TEX Pro shell never let a drop through. The Spectra reinforcement at the hem held up against crampon strikes that would have shredded a lesser pair of pants."Alpine terrain rarely offers a break, rock underfoot one moment, hard ice the next, and the Latok GTX Bib is built to hold up through all of it. Full-length side zips make gearing up over crampons and boots simple even at altitude, while the bib design keeps everything sealed against wind and snow through long, exposed pitches. GORE-TEX Pro shell fabric blocks weather completely, and Spectra reinforcement at the lower hem stands up to crampon abrasion that would tear through ordinary fabric. Articulated knees move naturally through high steps and mixed climbing, and a snap-adjustable hem with internal snow gaiter keeps snow out no matter what boots are underneath.
