This is a brand I have been using for so long that it’s kind of become a meme among my friends. But I have to say, I really love their pants, especially their GP Pro series.
It combines the durability of mountaineering pants and the flexibility of climbing pants for an interesting blend.
The pants are made from a polyester and cotton blend, just as a reminder, it’s not waterproof. You need to spray on a water repellant to make them more resilient to rain. In comparison to the Fjällräven G-1000 which uses a wax system to make them waterproofed.
So why does Alexander love these pants?
I can simply say because of versatility, whichever situation I get myself into, these pants seem to work incredibly well, they are stretchy enough to do proper climbing. They are durable enough for scrambling, alpine climbing, and glacial trips.
They are the pants that will never lay in your closet catching dust as they are suitable for most adventures, for me, they usually leave the drying rack to be used for the next adventure.
The cons and what I dislike about these pants!
There is no way to properly waterproof them, even with the water repellant spray you only get about 1 hour of effective protection before you are wet.
It’s very difficult getting the fabric needed to repair these pants, so if they break, you usually need to patch them with similar material found online.
I highly recommend these patches, Tear-aid is amazing at repairing literally anything possible.
Even Revolution Race pants!
