Cirque II Softshell Pant
If 'vertical' is a word that appears in your everyday vocabulary, then the Outdoor Research Women's Cirque Softshell Pants want to catch some altitude with you. Made for days in the mountains when waterproof hard-shell pants would be too stuffy but regular hiking pants wouldn't provide enough protection, the Cirque pants are crafted with a water-resistant, double-weave stretch fabric that shields you from mist and doesn't mind the occasional spring skiing day. The trim fit lies comfortably under a harness during summer alpine missions, and a durable scuff guard adds a layer of defense against crampon points and ski edges. Multiple pockets accommodate your essentials while you move up in the world.

These pants PERFORM. They kept me warm and dry, they stretch and fit well. I didn’t need to, but you totally could add a layer underneath them. I LOVE the adjustable waistband. They have a reinforced panel on the inner side to protect from boots. LOTS of good pockets! These pants are tough. I would definitely recommend them for cold weather activities. I wore them on Rainier and they were perfect!

Not only would I buy again - I did!
This is my second time purchasing these pants. I bought my original pair for a trip to Everest in 2021 and I wore them for weeks straight. They have great stretch, and I loved the adjustable waist and venting in particular as I tend to run hot. We had many days of cold rain on the way up and these pants kept me warm the whole time.(paired with lightweight base layer leggings). The inner leg protection for the boots is rugged and I agree with others that details such as the many zipper pockets made these pants an excellent value. These are my go-to winter hiking pants in cold-weather conditions. You will not be disappointed with these pants.

All time favorite soft shells!
I absolutely love these pants when guiding out on trips in the winter. Along with wearing them for long winter hikes. The adjustable waist Velcro is a huge win in my book since most pant waists don't fit me properly. A few other features I love on these pants in the boot lace hook, the brush guard on the ankle, and the zip close pockets. This is my second pair and they hold up so well, highly recommend them!

Seem great, why do only the men's version come in tall?
Why do you only release a tall inseam of the cirque II pants in mens? What about the tall women?

great touring pants!
love these pants, on my 3rd pair. Only complaint is the newer version is cut a lot more snug than my last 2 pairs in the exact same size (broke the leg zipper of my last pair and sadly had to get a replacement)

comfortable, warm good for all winter activities
durable material and comfortable. Block wind well. Sizing is a bit tricky, small was slightly tight especially with base layer but medium is quite a bit larger and too wide in the waist (but there are belt loops)

Great for winter hiking
Using this mostly for winter hiking. Warm without being too bulky. Good wind resistance.

Sizing is very off
I originally ordered the smalls and they were too snug. Then I got the mediums and they were way too big around the waist even with the built in belt pullled all the way. There is too much of a discrepancy between the smalls and mediums to get a pair that fits, I plan on returning both

Great Pants
These are great from some winter hikes. Just throw some fleece-y long underwear underneath and bam. Great fit and movement.

Perfect for uphill!
Great pants for ski touring. Light weight for the up, and wind breaking for the down. Run true to size. Very happy with my purchase.
