Our Verdict
I was a big fan of the Extrem MTN Guide MW Technical Pant from Berghaus, but found them too warm to use in all but the coolest conditions, which was a shame. With the MTN Guide Alpine Pants, the introduction of deep thigh vents makes a real difference, allowing heat to escape quickly and extending their use into spring and autumn. At 371g (Medium), they are robust yet comfortable, built from four-way stretch softshell with reinforced panels in high-wear areas. The cut is slim but articulated, so mobility remains excellent when scrambling or climbing. The waistband is secure, with belt loops for fine adjustment, and the pockets sit well under a harness. The fabric is windproof, sheds light rain effectively, and dries quickly.
