Valdyr Hard Shell Mountain Pant

Only have worn this once so far but really kept me dry when the skies opened up. They fit perfect on me in the Peak District.

First of a row

I use my mammut for light skitouring, but i needed something sturdy to mixed climb.
After researching and hesitating for a month I gave it a try.

The quality is in generel en par with the pro shell, but yet, I am sure the jöttnar can take more damage.

I will deck buy more from here.

For continental Europeans, L equals M.

VELDYR

Just purchased a bundle, haven’t actually used anything yet, clothing looks good and seems to be made well. My only complaint stopping me from purchasing additional items is the fact that the VELDYR pants I was expecting to be 30” inside leg were actually closer to 32” Inside leg. For that reason I can’t really purchase any additional equipment.

VALDYR Drop Seat Mountain Pants

Don't be put off by the 4 stars instead of 5. The quibbles are probably personal to me...my body shape and my primary use of the pant so far.
As an allround mountain pant I think they'd be hard to improve on. Light weight but robust, easy on, all the features well executed, SKJOLDR material is über waterproof.
The But? I've use them mostly for alpine and back country skiing / touring so far. Put simply they don't stay up as much as I'd like / as much as the pants they replaced did (as I say, this could just be particular to me) and... very small thing...I'd like slightly bigger pockets to stick my hands in.
I should say, now that I've found Jöttnar I will be back for more.

Awesome

Excellent hard shell pants. First outing last week on Spine Challenger. Worn for 50+ hours in atrocious rain / wind & mud and they proved bomb-proof. The fit / pocket access / braces all worked superbly. Kept me dry, safe & happy. Well worth the investment.
