Material: 92% polyamide, 8% elastane
Weight: 438g (size medium)
Mountain Equipment’s Ibex Mountain Pants are a firm favourite with our reviewer, mainly thanks to their excellent range of movement, good durability and fantastic features. There’s a microfleece waistband and an integrated belt, articulated knees for mobility, zips at the ankle and the inner fabric feels nice against the skin, so you’re covered for comfort too.
As for features, you get two roomy zip pockets on each hip, a deep zip pocket on your backside and two zip pockets on your thigh, ideal for stashing emergency snacks, maps and gloves. You may findPants aren’t suitable for warm-weather hikes, and they’re not the lightest of designs, but if you’re after a durable, weather resistant pair of trousers for coast paths to blustery summits, you’re on to a winner.
