O2 Gear Shop has great gear, prices, and service: Review - Patagonia Alpine Guide Pants: These pants have exceeded my expectations and I actually bought a second pair a few weeks after the purchase of the first pair. The fit and attention to detail in the construction of these pants are superb. The Hardface Polartec Power Shield stretch woven fabric, combined with the articulated knees allow for excellent freedom of movement. The fabric is extremely durable. On approaches, these pants have taken jabs from sharp-pointed, broken tree limbs and survived my falls on wet, jagged rocks with no damage. The flat aluminum buckle and integral belt are very functional. The crampon/ski edge guard reinforcement patches are well designed and tough. These pants are warm, bombproof, and of the finest quality typical of Patagonia!
