Why We Like The Guardian Shell 3L Pant
At least, that's what you would do if you were a ram and a neighboring flock needed safeguarding. And much like your ram-like instincts, the Ortovox Men's Guardian Shell 3L Pant shields you from the snow when you tour the backcountry or hit the resort. This pant's Toray Dermizax EV membrane boats the highest breathability ratings around, and touts serious waterproof protection for powder days. Ortovox lined the Guardian Shell in moisture-managing, naturally odor-resistant, and superlight merino wool for comfort. Not only that, but the merino wool offers thermal regulation that cools you down when you're warm and warms you up when you're cold.

I have not used this product, returning them due to size issues. It Is the most bizarre thing. I have a 31" waist and am 6'1 and about 172lbs, athletic build.. I got an extra large based on their size chart.. the waist barely fit... but it did.... but the legs are so big, baggy and too long... If you're tall and have huge legs, these will work for you, however, you must also have roughly a 30 inch waist and be at least 6'2" for the extra large in these to possibly work. It's a shame because they look beautiful and are insulated, and all my Ortovox gear over the years has been great, so I'm sure these are awesome in the field! but the sizing is just so odd. Yes I could exchange for a large but then the waist wouldn't fit..and it's also not available. Sad, because these are normally so expensive and I got a great deal; but just no way they would work for me. I love Ortovox gear but their sizing can be very odd; especially with their pants. I selected "runs small" but really they run small in the waist but large in the legs..
