The legendary Terra Pant. Exceptionally breathable, as comfortable as a pair of pyjamas, wind resistant, water resistant, tough, they're one of the best lightweight trousers available and can be used for just about every activity, whether that's climbing, walking, mountaineering, backpacking, travelling or just generally living in.
The main bulk of the trouser is made from Montane's Tactel fabric, an almost cotton feeling material which is wind and water resistant, tough, quick drying and about as comfortable as a pair of pyjamas. This is then reinforced with Cordura patches on the seat, knees and inner ankles (main wear points). Cordura on the seat protects against moisture and rubbing while sat down, the knees when climbing and the inner ankles when wearing crampons or wading through brambles.
Increasing the comfort even further is articulation around the knees, ensuring you're not restricted during even the most demanding climbs. Adjustability is carried out by an included and removable webbing belt and elastane around the waist. Pockets wise, you get two zippered hand pockets with mesh linings (great if you get water in there as it'll drain straight back out rather than drowning your phone), a zipped security pocket and two large mesh lined thigh vents (not technically pockets). These vents allow you to dump heat quickly when moving fast or when you're in hot environments.
