RAB Exodus soft shell Pants - REVIEW
These pants are solidly constructed, designed for durability, they will withstand a tree snag where your hardshells won’t. They fit a ski boot snuggly to keep the powder out. The fabric is stretchy and the cut articulated so you can move easily. I am used to wearing a base layer under a hardshell for my touring set-up but I find I seriously overheat on the up track sometimes as a result. The Exodus pants are highly breathable but insulating enough that I no longer need the base layer so I can move without my legs cooking. I wore these skiing on a few warm bluebird spring days this year and found the side thigh vents to be awesome air-conditioners. These pants are really versatile, perfect for the mountains where the weather can change on a dime.
