Hi

Am after a recommendation for a 3-layer tough hardshell trouser with braces, crampon patches & an internal gaiter. I want them to be quite fitted (i.e. not super baggy like most hardshell troos) as I'd use them with spikes in crap conditions. I don't get on with eVent.

Thanks

ME Tupilak Pant should do the job, if you can afford them! I had a look at a pair the other day and they are very nicely featured.

Speak to the guys at Cioch outdoor on Skye. Paramo but only ever heard good things about the gear.

I'm very impressed with slim fit of the Jöttnar Vanir http://www.ukclimbing.com/images/dbpage.php?id=234147 they're great for climbing in, and have well realised versions of the other things you're asking. http://www.ukclimbing.com/images/dbpage.php?id=234148

Hopefully my review of them and the Bergelmir Jacket will be published soon here.

I recently bought ME Tupilaks but haven't tested them yet. They are quite fitted but just the right amount. Of those that we a bit too fitted for my taste, Mammut Nordwand (VERY fitted, my normal waist size is 32 and even size 36 were what I would consider ridiculously tight) receive very good reviews. I also found Arcteryx Theta SV and TNF Kichatna to be quite tight.
