Montane Mens Terra Route Pants RRP £95

Product Information

Our team are working extended hours to get through this as quickly as possible, we ask you to be patient during this busy time. But they are also great with just normal undies below for sunny multi-pitch rock in the Aiguille Rouge or on Skye (yes – it has always been sunny when I've been there! Whatever you are looking for you can be sure you are getting a bargain on leading designs in our Montane sale selection. I've found that high leg lifts or wide bridges are no problem in the Terras when wearing a harness but, like many other trousers, they lose some other their flexibility when they aren't being used with a harness – I wouldn't particularly recommend them for bouldering for example, although they seem to work fine when worn for scrambling.

They are lightweight and compact for taking backpacking as well as looking and feeling great – which is why I wear them all the time! The trousers also have short zips on the ankle, although these serve no obvious purpose as I can't see why I would want to be taking the trousers off over a pair of boots.The Terra Route Pants have been cut in Montane’s Classic Fit, Legwear that has been designed for all-round mountain use.

Montane Terras seem a solid choice for the multi-pitch climber who also goes backpacking or hill-walking. You can roll them up to your thigh for shallow river crossings or in extremely hot weather you can get them wet knowing that they will be dry for 30 minutes. One of the great things about Tactel nylon is that it is highly breathable and the Terras do not feel clammy, even when hiking hard. You can further increase breathability by opening the 1/4 length lower zips while keeping the press studs closed.

The extra room in the trousers can make them more comfortable than some other outdoor fit trousers that take a slimmer fit approach, but Montane made sure not to add too much material to make for a baggy fit, the last thing you’d want when out in the mountains, especially when it gets windy. Often labeled as technical hiking pants, the Montane Terra’s provide an excellent fit as well as having built-in adjustability. If your Montane Hiking Pants get wet then so long as you can get out of the rain, they will dry using your body heat.
