Gripped 4/5/08 Scree Pants

The Scree Pant is the most function-focused pant in the review and a perfect choice for backcountry cragging – think Canadian Rockies. Using a stretchy softshell fabric, the Scree pants deliver weather protection and complete freedom of movement in challenging climbing environments. A small Velcro thigh pocket securely holds a topo and zippered cuffs accommodate beefy boots during the approach. Elasticized waist panels and belt loops ensure the pants stay put even when carrying a heavy pack. The Scree Pant is a good choice for climbers venturing away from crowded local cliffs.
