What do you think about that?
This is what other customers say:
The pants looks nice and they are light, theoretically ticking many boxes for mountaineering, climbing and ski touring. At least on display. I bought them as mountaineering and climbing pants. Mistake. They are to delicate for any serious use, they tear on rocks like paper, the softshell is too delicate for mountains, branches, rocks and skis. Except cordura patched parts - any contact with something harder than a pillow end up with damaged softshell. I used them two days in the snow and ice- so I know what I say. The cut is not perfect, you cannot get to the pockets in harness- none of the three you have. Additionally legs are quite slim to fit on mountain shoes- but at least there is a zipper but that’s not perfect solution at the end. I can leave with the small design glitches but not with the delicatness of the material. They do not fit the intended use, I recommend to use elsewhere. I lost money, you don not have to. By the way, the Czech manufacturer office do not answer your mails if you have questions on the purchase......

Great pair of pants for many alpine activities. The stretch material are in exactly the right places. I am no nuse why there is a reflective strip at the bottom of the legs, may be for cyclists.
These makes it very easy for movements.
On the -vr side, may be the bottom could have been bigger.
Still, these are great value for money.
