Mammut Schoeller® Dryskin Champ Pants - Soft Shell (For Women)

These pants have good deep pockets. I like the zippers on the bottom of the legs. It allows you to close around boots or unzip and wear loose. Great material and warm. I wear these walking in the snowy woods with kids and the dog and shoveling snow. I am going to buy in the grey color too. The size does seem a bit big though

When I first put the Champ pants on, they were so soft and pliable--and comfy--that they felt more like PJs than spendy hiking pants. But then I went outside into a cool, windy rain, and all 'semblance of PJs stopped. The pants shielded me from wind and rain. I stayed warm. They are great--stretchy, and strong, as well as very comfy. OK, I COULD wear them as PJs. They are that pliant and comfy. But mostly I'll be wearing them in the North Cascades this summer and loving every minut of wind-shielded, abrasion-proof water-resistant hiking.

The stretch in these pants is great-giving alot of movement. The hand of the fabric is wonderful.Perfect for walking through wet woods. I am pear shaped and these fit perfect.

Didn't seem to be available in Petite for size 42. I have to figure a way to shorten them. Use for casual, XC ski, snowshoe n' ice skating. Stretches nicely over light long underwear.

I've used these pants snowshoeing with long underwear underneath - they did great in the snow and stayed dry. I've also taken them to the desert and used them while biking and found them comfortable and sturdy. The only weird thing I've noticed is that the waist buttons the opposite way that I'm used to pants normally buttoning. I would like it if they had cargo-style pockets on each side (there is only one on one side) but I'm not too unhappy about that. In general I really like these pants.
