Mountain Equipment Ibex Pro Pants

Jump to: Our Verdict / Features / Specifications

With heavier, more durable fabric combined with a mountain fit, these pants offer great freedom of movement for a wide range of activities in the mountains.

Mountain Equipment says

Robust and wind resistant stretch trousers for year round trekking and mountaineering missions. Ibex Pro Pants use burly EXOLITE 250 stretch double weave soft shell fabric and have all the features you need for unpredictable conditions in tough environments. Multiple zipped pockets as well as thigh vents and a lower leg that accommodates a range of boots they are ready for anything.

Our Verdict

Mountain Equipment’s Ibex Pro Pants are an adaptation of the hugely successful Ibex trouser. The durable Exolite 250 fabric is comfortable, breathable and offers a good amount of stretch whilst also offering a good level of warmth, staving off winds, rain and snow and being more than strong enough for the odd rocky run in on a scramble. The thigh vents allow for quick temperature release and more control.

In terms of extra features whilst lacking in ankle zips they do have adjustable poppers for a range of boot fittings, integrated lace hooks and silicone grips on the ankle, 4 sizeable zip pockets and two open pockets for plenty of quick access and storage, a gusset crotch and two way fly making these a formidable contender in the trekking pant market.
