Reviews & Ratings for Mountain Equipment Ibex Mountain Pant - Men's — 14 reviews — Page 1

This pair of pants is very good shape, and has a lot of thoughtful design.

There's an assortment of hiking pants in my closet, but one has become my consistent go-to pair. I bought my first pair of Ibex Mountain Pants several years ago and they still function great after hundreds of miles of hiking, snowshoeing, scrambling, bushwhacking, and backpacking in the Colorado Rockies and Moab red rock country. I've even worn them on tens of thousands of miles of air travel. Why do I love these pants? Good balance of durability and weight, zippered pockets to keep things secure, a low profile belt, and a comfortable athletic fit with enough stretch to promote mobility. They also provide a surprising balance of breathability in the summer (albeit mostly at high altitude) and softshell wind-resistance/warmth in the winter (I rarely use a base layer or shell with these pants during moderate-intense activities in the Rockies). The Ibex Mountain Pants perform so well for me that I bought a second pair then my wife bought me a couple more, because she said she likes they way they look on me. If you're looking for something versatile that performs between basic and extreme, the Ibex Mountain Pants are a good option to consider.

The pants are well made and stretchy. I am 5'11'' and 155 lb and order "M" size. They are true to size, not baggy or tight.

Material, breathability, water repellency, and workmanship are ok for these pants, but I'm not a fan of these narrowed "articulated", as they call them, knees. They touch inner upper part of knees, which I feel uncomfortable with. The ordinary no-frills straight leg would be better in my honest opinion.

For the money these are the best soft shell pant around. I'm 5'10" 170 lbs, regular 32 inseam and these in a 34 fit me perfectly. American Alpine Institute was the only other place I founds this pant (same price) but I had a coupon at Campsaver to use. If AAI gets behind a product its because they have personally used them. I've spoken to AAI about this company and they've been selling more and more of their stuff for 6 years. Mountain Equipment is a solid UK climbing apparel company slowly making it was into NA. I cant wait to buy more Mountain Equipment goods.

If you are looking for a versatile pant - these are it. Amazing fit. They are close fitting around the thigh area but the stretch is dialed in so perfectly that there is zero restriction of movement. I can also wear my favorite base layer tights under them and they work just right. The interior fabric is very nice against the skin. No annoying seems or rough abrasive feel.

Awesome set of Softshell Pants. Fits great since I am 5'6" tall with an inseam of 28". Purchased the short and they are a touch long but with boots they fit perfectly. I have worn them in 26 degree F with wind chills in the teens and have felt warm and provided great protection.

These are very comfortable and easy to maneuver in. I like the zippered pockets. They are narrow at the ankle so they fit and look well. Seem very durable. The ability to put a drawcord in the ankle hem is wonderful to keep debris out of the boots. Perfect for 20 to 40 degree days for me as I don't get overly hot.

It's not always easy to find pants that fit well and come in short lengths! This is the best hiking pant I own. I'm constantly looking for reasons to wear them because they are so comfortable. They don't pick or pill and the stretch is amazing. They dry extremely quickly and seem to move moisture very quickly and efficiently. Plenty of pockets too!

This is a perfect transitional weather pant. Except for the middle of the summer, this is a great weight for climbing, hiking, xs skiing, etc.... I like that there is not too much fabric at the ankle so that crampons don't tear through your pants, and you have a clear view of where your boots are going for more technical applications. Super durable fabric. After multiple trips, they still look new.
