What our reviewers liked and didn't
M5 Pant
- Full-length side zippers allow fast layering over muddy boots
- Dependable protection against sustained driving sleet and downpours
- Compresses small enough to stay in your daypack without penalty
- Quieter face textile than standard high-alpine mountaineering shells
- Not durable enough for repeated crawling over sharp scree
- Requires a base pant underneath due to lack of a soft liner
- Substantial financial investment for a foul-weather specialty piece
Attack Pant
- Unrestricted mobility provided by Toray Primeflex four-way stretch fabric
- Effective side hip vents rapidly dump body heat during steep climbs
- Brushed interior backer delivers next-to-skin comfort without retaining sweat
- Quiet face fabric prevents loud swishing noises in dense timber
- Lacks integrated knee pad pockets for crawling on rocky terrain
- Open weave fabric will saturate during prolonged, soaking downpours
- Vulnerable to surface pilling when pushed through aggressive thorn thickets
