What are the Ibex Pants?
Whether you're walking, scrambling, climbing or trekking, the Ibex pants from Mountain Equipment will be the first thing you grab. The use of the versatile Exolite fabric makes them weather-resistant, wind-resistant, abrasion-resistant, comfortable, breathable, stretchy... the list goes on and on! Could these be the only outdoor trousers you'll ever need?
What are the Ibex pants made of?
The Ibex Pants are made from Exolite 210, a 4-way stretch softshell fabric. The double-weave construction and smooth face fabric resists abrasion, repels wind and water, stretches with you as you move and allows your sweat to escape when you're working hard. A soft inner fabric provides all-day comfort no matter what the weather's doing.
What are the features?
The Ibex's feature an array of pockets: two zipped hand pockets, two zipped pockets on the thighs which double up as vents and one rear zipped pocket. All of these pockets are mesh-lined, providing further ventilation when empty.
An integrated belt with a double press-stud waist closure means you never have to worry about sourcing a belt at home. The waistband is lined with microfibre to increase comfort and wick away sweat. The cuff of each leg features a small hole which allows you to thread a piece of cord through for further weather protection (cord not included). Finally, the lower legs have calf-length zips which allow you to open the trouser up for larger footwear.
How do they fit?
The Ibex's have a trim 'Alpine fit' with a regular width in the ankle. The combination of the tailored Alpine fit block with its high waistband allows for a great range of movement and lower back coverage. The regular fit ankle means that these trousers will accommodate a wide range of footwear; low volume footwear with the ankle gusset zipped up and bigger walking boots with the gusset panel unzipped.
