Cirque III Pant - Men's

Amazing!

These are incredible! Great for water ice/alpine and colder weather hiking. Thank you guys for making them in all 3 lengths as most have abandoned this with the attitude of "just live with it". Also thank you for sewing, I now hate glue!

Great but just missing a couple of features!

I recently purchased these pants because, 1. The pant material stretches, is durable and is thick enough for winter hiking. 2. The pants have four pockets. 3. The pants are available in a 30 inch inseam. Unfortunately a couple of things are missing that would make the pants the perfect pants for me. 1. There is only one belt loop so I can't use an external belt to hang things from such as a cell phone, GPS, knife, bear spray, etc. I will have to pay a seamstress to sew on 4 more belt loops. 2. The pockets are made with an open mesh fabric and I am concerned that eventually my keys, etc. will wear holes in the mesh, fall out down the inside of the leg and I will lose them!

Come in Lengths!!

These pants are amazing, it’s hard to find a company that makes a short length and they’re actually cheap compared to Black Diamond and Arc’teryx

Fit Perfect

I was skeptical of the "Tall" size. I was wrong. 6'7 and the LT fit perfect. So comfortable on the up that I immediately bought another pair. Much more comfortable than my Arcteryx Gamma TL pants and perfect length for tall guys. LOVE the zipper on the sides to help slide over my Scarpa's. Could not be happier

AWESOME

Absolutely the best pants for climbing and mountaineering! Love them. Definitely buying another pair soon

Highly recommended

I rarely leave reviews but making an exception to help others out. Great in every way. And thank you or for making them in tall sizes

Excellent choice

Great softshell pant with plenty of flexibility. I wore these climbing my first glacier peak and they were fantastic.

Best ski touring pant I’ve used hands down. 95% of the time I wear them, and 95% of the time I wear a hard shell pant, I wish I had worn these instead. Very good

Quiver of one alpine pants

From Ice climbing, to skiing, to mountaineering, the OR Cirque 3 pants have been my partner in crime for all outdoor activities this past winter. They are super durable, highly water and weather resistant, and have kept me comfortably warm when paired with ski bottoms. These pants are highly featured, with loops 5 zippered pockets, zippered cuffs, a built in belt, suspender connection points, and a frontal gear loop (which I typically use to clip spare gloves when hiking). I think my only wish for these pants would be to include 1-2 gear loops on the sides of the pants, since I sometimes like clipping my water bottle and/or a knife to my waist when hiking.

Familiarity:

I've used it several times

Size Bought:

Large

I’ve only had these pants out a few times in winter activities. Fabric seams tough and stretchy with no snags or abrasions so far. Pockets, zippers, and stitching are all good. I like the fit. I’m 5’11” 210 pounds and the large fits me well. Waist is a touch large but I didn’t want to go down a size if I wear heavier base layers.
