Can any one give me their opinion on the use of Mammut Castor Pants as alpine ski touring pants?
I am planning a 4 week skiing trip to whistler, mainly piste skiing, followed by 7 weeks in Switzerland, where I hope to go on a number of ski tours as well as freeride / off piste lift access skiing.
Are these pants good for all round use? Are the really waterproof or are the just water resistant and will eventually wet out? How would they go in Switzerland? What are differences with the new 05/06 versions? Do I need a pair of last resort hard shell pants as well?
Many thanks in advance.
