Product Information

Full details

The Mountain Equipment Ibex Alpine Pant is designed for active mountaineers and hikers who require a high-performance soft shell trouser capable of handling varied mountain environments. Its primary benefit is the combination of rugged, weather-resistant protection with the breathability and stretch needed for long ascents; however, users should note that as a soft shell, it is not fully waterproof and may require a hardshell layer in extreme, prolonged downpours.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are these pants waterproof?

They are wind and water-resistant soft shell trousers, meaning they excel in light rain and snow, but they are not fully waterproof like a hardshell.

Can I wear these for winter climbing?

Yes, they are suitable for winter climbing when paired with a quality thermal base layer for added warmth.

What does EXOLITE fabric mean?

EXOLITE is Mountain Equipment's own range of double-weave soft shell fabrics, engineered to be tough, windproof, and stretchy.

How do I determine my size?

This model is sized by waist measurement (e.g., 34-inch). Measure your natural waist where you normally wear your trousers.

Are they machine washable?

Yes, they can be machine washed on a gentle cycle, but always check the specific care label on the garment first.

Troubleshooting

Water is soaking into the fabric rather than beading off

The DWR finish has likely worn off. Wash the garment and re-apply a DWR spray treatment then tumble dry on low heat if the care label permits.

Adjustable hem drawcord feels loose

Inspect the cord lock for debris or grit that might be preventing a tight grip; rinse with clean water to clear any obstructions.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent balance of durability and stretch
  • Highly breathable for sustained high-intensity movement
  • Articulated knee design prevents bunching
  • Multiple secure zipped pockets
  • Adjustable hem fits various boot sizes

Cons

  • Not fully waterproof in heavy rain
  • Grey color shows dirt more easily in muddy conditions
  • Lacks insulation for extreme cold without a base layer

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the best fit, utilize the integrated belt to cinch the waist before starting your ascent. The hem adjusters should be tightened to prevent the fabric from catching on crampon points or rock edges.

For maintenance, wash the pants in cool to lukewarm water using a technical gear cleaner that preserves the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating. Avoid fabric softeners as they can clog the breathability of the EXOLITE fabric. It is recommended to periodically re-apply a DWR spray treatment to the outer surface if you notice water stopping to bead on the fabric.
