In short
Good for
- High-altitude hiking, ski touring and ice climbing in harsh weather (Arc'teryx's description)
- Scrambling, with abrasion-resistant kick patches
- Wearing over ski or mountaineering boots
Strengths
- 100D 3-layer GORE-TEX PRO with a MICRO-GRID backer
- 3/4-length side zips
- Detachable bib straps
- Hem that fits over ski boots, abrasion-resistant kick patches, a zipped thigh pocket and a RECCO reflector
Weaknesses
- Arc'teryx gives no seam statement, so rain protection is an estimate, not a reviewed score
- Heavier than lightweight overtrousers, at 439 g by Arc'teryx's figure
- Sold for high-altitude hiking, ski touring and ice climbing, with detachable bib straps: more than most wild campers need
- Reviews on Arc'teryx's page mention cuff cuts and weak kick patches, and one says it runs small
