There is already a detailed product test for the pants on PowderGuide. In addition, after two years of continuous use, the pants have now made it to Gear of the Week.

Mammut Alyeska GTX Pro Realization Pant


The now "established" summer version of the trousers with integrated climbing harness was once also available as a winter version. They have a sexy, casual cut and the legs are not too short. A really good pair of pants, not just for climbing and abseiling. You might actually ask yourself what the point of these pants is and who the target group is. After two seasons, I realize that I wear them more often than I first thought. You hardly notice/see the integrated belt and so I also wear them for "normal" skiing.

Details (I wear size L at 1.86 m and 85 kg)

Pockets: Three in the front, one in the back and an avalanche transceiver pocket on the bib with safety clip on the zipper.

Climbing harness: Integrated in the pants, the two tabs are hidden in the front behind two small zippers. There is a material loop on the right for glacier/climbing material (on my version).

Other:

Two ventilation slits on the outside of the leg with mesh

Bib removable via zipper, the straps are comfortable to wear, even with a backpack

Mammut Alyeska GTX Pro Realization Pant

Belt loops for wearing without a bib (I've never needed one)

Solid edge protection on the inside of the legs

The width can be adjusted using press studs at the end of the legs, which is very convenient when using crampons

Advantages

One pair of pants for everything, versatile

Technical freeride pants made from robust 3-layer GORE-TEX Pro material. Virtually no wear even after days of use, probably in the three-digit range

Warm

Beautiful color

Comfortable to wear

Normal appearance

Drawbacks

Rather high price, if still available at all

Color somewhat susceptible to dirt

Too warm for pure alpine touring

Only one material loop on the right on my model

Conclusion

I clearly see the main area of use in freeriding with intermediate special inserts such as abseiling (e.g. La Grave, Chamon).e.g. La Grave, Chamonix....). However, I also use the pants on glacier tours, but they have also been used for via ferrata winter ascents and ice climbing.
