"Pantalon parfait, très résistant, couleur très jolie !!!"

Great softshell, but fits small
"I buy a lot of Mammut clothing and the pants fit differently every time. Usually, as a 5'4" 130lb athletic lady, I am a size 4. These pants are great for ski touring, but fit just a tad tight. I love the light fabric and vents on the legs, as well as the reinforced pant legs for crampons."

Sizing is off
"I measured according to the size chart and the product is way off. Or the chart is."

Great Backcoutry Ski Pants, with one caveat
"After too many years with my old ski pants, I finally upgraded to these Taiss Guide pants. I am in love. The fit is great. I am a 'curvy' woman and I have never found ski pants that fit this well (included other Mammut styles). The velcro waistband is a game changer if you are not boy-shaped (ie, have hips and a butt). I want to go skiing just so I can wear my new pants! I overheat easily, but the fabric of these pants is perfect and the side vents are well placed and quick and easy to open and close. I love the flat pockets, but wish that the thigh pockets had a little gusset in it so that my beacon had a little more space (but this is a minor detail, it is a little bit of a tight fit, but I don't notice it at all while touring). The only thing that I would change is the gaiter system. It is very well designed, but it is a tight fit around ski boots that are loosened for climbing. They are a great fit when my boots are buckled for the descent, but I have to mess around with them a bit to get a good enough seal to keep snow out while my boots are loose for the skin up. The design is great, I'm impressed, but I'm afraid that they aren't going to last as long as I would like with all of the pulling and stretching I have to do to get them around my boot. Overall, I'm very satisfied with these ski pants."

"These did not fit me as I hoped they were too snug for under layers. i like my BD dawn patrol fit better. I had not tried a pair on prior to purchase"

I ordered size 40. It
"I ordered size 40. It fits me. Pants is very light. I use it for everyday wearing. Also fits good for snowboarding. Good waterproof, don't have fleece underlayer."

Women’s SO Taiss Guide Pants
"very functional for hiking and staying dry in wet/windy weather."
— Marsha (5/5)
Praktisch und funktional
"Wenn zu warm wird, kann man durch seitliche Reßverschlüße den „Dampf“ ablassen. Dass Klettverschluss an den beinen verhindert dass die Hose an Steugeisen hängen bleibt. Einfach Top."
— Rodica (5/5)
Q&A
What is the difference between this pant and the courmayeur? Which is the most abrasion proof? I’m looking for soft shell pants for mountaineering on very rugged snow covered terrain that are not insulated as breathability is very important.
Hi Lily,
the Courmayeur is softer and not as rugged as the Taiss Guide. Another rugged model would be Eisfeld Advanced SO Pants Women.
- Barbara
are these pants insulated and windproof?
Hi Chad,
these pants are not insulated but windproof.
