From Backcountry.com:
"The Patagonia Men's Guide Pants thrive on steep, technical alpine terrain. Whether you wear them ice climbing in Cody or on alpine routes in the Alps, they provide the high level of breathability you need to move fast without overheating. The softshell fabric's weather resistance easily holds off light snow and spindrift, and they dry quickly should you soak them on a wet ice climb. Patagonia gave the Guide Pant a wide, contoured waist to fit comfortably under a harness. Cuff grommets let you tie the legs down when you don't need gaiters but still want a bit of snow protection."

From Patagonia:
"Snow-covered rock, icy cracks and scrappy conditions: "G" is for grovel. Our go-anywhere, do-anything Guide Pants help you embrace your inner G-climber. The burly stretch-woven nylon/polyester/spandex fabric breathes, resists foul weather, stretches and recovers its shape. A soft, brushed interior maintains next-to-skin comfort, and the low-bulk waistband and belt loops won't interfere with a harness. Gusseted leg openings have flap-protected DWR (durable water repellent) zippers, scuff guards, gripper elastic and tie-down loops. The welded-on single thigh and two hand pockets close with welded-in DWR zippers. With a 2-way fly and a slim fit that allows for baselayers and light midlayers."

From Altrec Outdoors:
"Patagonia 's time-honored go-anywhere and do-anything stretch-woven pants now offer improved stretch recovery and shape retention. They're just as breathable and weather- and abuse-resistant as before, and have the same soft, brushed interior for next-to-skin comfort. The clean, low-bulk waistband and belt loops won't interfere with a harness, and the gusseted bottom cuffs have flap-protected 10 reverse-coil DWR (durable water repellent) zippers, scuff guards, gripper-elastic and tie-down loops (to seal out snow). The glued-on thigh pocket closes with a glued-in, reverse-coil DWR zipper. We also glue in the reverse-coil DWR zippered hand pockets. With a two-way fly (men's) for easier harness-wearing relief, and a redesigned, trim fit that allows for light underlayers. Imported. Deluge DWRPatagonia?s proprietary durable water repellent fabric finish, Deluge DWR, lasts substantially longer than standard DWRs. Garments with the Deluge DWR finish have like-new repellency after years of extensive use."

"Rockin pants!!! I was looking for a slim-fitting snowpant for snowshoeing and winter hiking. These are slim enough so they won't get in the way, but I have enough room to freely move and layer underneath. The bottom of the pants are nice and narrow and can be easily tucked inside winter boots. I love them!"

"Best pants I've found for long distance cold weather backpacking. I used it for 10+ day backpacking trips in Alaska, for two seasons. Walked through a lot of typical Alaskan bushes and the pants still looked quite new. I also walked them through many a glacial stream and they're very water repellent - water just beads off the surface."
