In reply to Paul Crusher R:
I wasn't impressed with the quality of the Mammut Base Jump, little things like belt loops kept breaking (one day one of use) Had a pair replaced - same happened so re-sowed it myself.
Best pants I've had since has been Montane Terra pants, light weight, yet tough. Will be getting a second pair when these finally perish (three years still going strong)
Granted they're not the most wind-proof in the world
