Review: Mammut Base Jump Pants

gear, ski pants, ski touring

The perfect ski touring pant doesn’t exis—wait, you’re telling me the Mammut Base Jump Pants are made of real Schoeller fabric and have built-in gaiters, reinforced cuffs, four zippered pockets, two mesh-backed vents, a built-in low-profile belt, optional suspenders, and no extra frills? And they come in 21 different sizes of waist and length combinations so you can actually get a pair that fit you perfectly? Nah, you must be pulling my leg. Available at Uphill Pursuits and mammut.com; $249.
