Can't find much info about these but are a potential candidate to replace my knackered Karakorams.  Are they tough enough for Scottish mixed?

In short, no. I bought them on offer at the start of the season. 6 days out in them, 2 separate major tears (3-4 inches) in the upper thigh and a bunch of smaller ones from rock abrasion. They are just too thin for mixed climbing. Would be great as lightweight in the pack waterproof trousers or maybe for pure ice if you're very careful but that isn't what they are marketed for.
