"The Cloudveil Mens' Switchback Softshell Pant is designed for high altitude conditions, which means it's designed to take on darn near everything Mother Nature can throw at it. The Switchback's Schoeller Dynamic fabric has big stretch and incredible moisture management properties, perfect for days when a storm shell is overkill but you still might encounter anything from burning sun to blowing snow. Whether you're walking across an alpine meadow or scrambling over rocks in the rain, the Switchback's comfy athletic fit won't trip you up or constrict. Angled zipper pockets are easy to open and close without tugging and flailing so you can get what you need now."

"I was introduced to these pants by an older man who uses them to hunt sheep in northern Alaska. He said they blocked enough wind to keep you warm but he'd never overheat. I eventually bought a pair and am on my way to owning enough to get me through a week!

I find they are most comfortable in cooler temperatures between 40-65 degrees."

"These have been a great pant. They are super stretchy and very breathable. I must say that I have been amazed at how well they went, I've never had any better. The fit is perfect for me, not too baggy, but not tight either.

The only complaint I have is they're not that durable."
