Gear Review: Millet Durable Pant

Millet Durable Pant 9/10
Out for Summer 2010 comes this supremely comfortable Millet pant, it's lightweight, stretchy soft shell fabric is reasonably wind-resistant and offers a bit of protection from the wet without sacrificing weight (480g).  They're excellent for scrambling and spring/ summer alpine use and I would thoroughly recommend them for active wear since they're made from Schoeller Dynamic Extrem (Polyamide membrane + Cordura for durability and strech (like Lycra).  The pants have preformed reinforced knees for high-abrasion sports, as well as a crotch gusset and weight adjustment for a good and comfortable fit.  As yet there's no RRP? but I'm presuming around the £90-£110 region since they aren't too dissimilar to Haglofs Granite Pant (£110)
