Size Chart:
Terra pants are lightweight, hard-wearing, weather resistant and highly breathable trousers, suitable for a wide range of outdoor sports. The TACTEL nylon outer provides a cotton-like feel, which doesn't rustle or crackle, combined with the durability and fast drying qualities of nylon.
The tight weave of TACTEL together with a TEFLON surface finish helps water to bead up and run off the fabric face. Terra's low weight, small pack size, fast drying properties and extremely durable reinforcements make them the ideal choice for any serious adventure traveller or mountaineer.

Our Verdict
Multi-award winning mountaineering pants, updated for 2011. The updates are fairly low key - Terra Pants now have a diamond gusset, brushed inner surface around the waist and now come in 3 leg lengths. We have decided to stock the Regular leg length only - but can get the other lengths from Montane providing they have stock - call us and we will advise.
The ankle zips are useful, they're only about a foot long but thats just enough to make getting them on over lightweight footwear a tad easier.
