Dynafit TLT Touring Pant
If you want pants that are stretchy, windproof, and breathable, you should have them. "But how?" you ask. Check out the Dynafit TLT Touring pant, that's how. These are a great option for outdoor adventurers who are looking for something that can hold up against the elements from New Hampshire's wind-scoured Presidential Range to Oregon's snow-slammed Mt. Bachelor. The Dynastretch (DST) fabric is the kind of stretch material that moves with you, offering great, unencumbered mobility while moving fast. An elastic waistband, silicone grip hem reinforcement, and a boot compatible gaiter built into the legs will ensure that these pants stay down and keep even the deepest of snow out. If you run a bit warmer on the way up it will all be ok, these skin track trousers include ventilation zips on the side of the thighs. Since we all take pictures and we all get hungry out there, you can plan on keeping your phone and snacks handy in the two large front zip pockets. It's definitely time to ditch your hard-shell pants, but maybe not quite time to pull on form-fitting race pants. If you are looking to transition towards a more skimo oriented pant without the race-day look, the TLT Touring Dynastretch pant could be your middle-ground.
- DST material is wind-resistant, stretchy, and breathable to provide maximum comfort and weather protection.
- Interior boot gaiters keep snow out of your boots.
- Elastic waist and silicone grip hem reinforcement won't let your pants shift and shimmy.
- Ventilation along the thighs help you regulate your temperature on the climb.
- Scuff guards at the cuff protect your pants from ski edges.
- Two large front zip pockets hold whatever you need to get to quickly.
- Athletic fit and light weight for going fast.

I am interested in a touring softshell pant like this moving away from Marshall pants but I am 5’5” short with a 32” waist, 29” inseam, 38” leg. It looks like these pants will be draped all over my boots. Am I reading the fit information correctly? Is there a pant with a shorter inseam?

Hi Tom,
I talked to one of my coworkers who is a similar height about pants that worked for him! We settled on the Karpos San Martino and Dynafit Ridge pant as being good options. The Karpos pants run fairly true to size, whereas the Dynafit Ridge pants we feel have a bit larger waist relative to their length, so I'd definitely recommend a Small in those.
I think the TLT pants could work as well, but might feel slightly longer. I would go for a Small in them if you wanted to try them.

Answer this question:
Really like them the pockets are even thoughtfully designed to work well while wearing a harness. My only knock is that the pockets are too wide and phone/beacon are always ending up sideways.
Seconding the guy who said size down. Small fits me perfectly, I'm basically a medium in everything else.
Great pants in a nice light color, props to skimo for stocking them in normal sizes in the spring.

Comment on this review:
Honestly, I would rate almost any softshell ski pants that isn't black at least 4 stars at this point - I am that sick of being roasted alive in spring by black pants.
These in tan are great, although I should have gotten the small instead of the medium (most jeans in 32 or 31 waist fit me). I assumed they were a "euro" medium, oops. So far no durability issues with them after ~25 days both uphill/skimo "racing" and general backcountry touring for powder. I love softshell pants for Colorado dry conditions and these are no different - water resistant enough for the down and breathable for the up.
The pockets are big enough for race skins or a beacon (although not designed for a beacon) but not much else. The thigh vents are generously large and have a thin fabric to keep your white bits from burning.

Hello ! I got dynafit tlt ! Now I'm looking for the second one, which will be warmer. (for cold days) what do you recommend?
11/1/2022
Pavel,
If you are looking for a warmer option from Dynafit you can look at the Dynafit Mercury 2. Another option to check out would be the Karpos Express 200 Evo. Hope this helps!

Do these pants have an approved beacon pocket on them? If not, do any of the other pants you have in this category have a beacon pocket?
12/20/2021
Hi Taylor, thanks for your question! While you could put a beacon in the zip pockets on these pants, the pockets do not have leashes so are not officially marked for that use. The Dynafit Radical Infinium Hybrid is another option that has a dedicated beacon compartment.

Has anyone tried these on? I'm interested but curious to what the sizing is like. The size guide says I'd wear a small (32 waist, 6' male). However, I've never worn a size small and thus, am skeptical.
1/12/2021
James-With your height and waist, I would recommend a size medium for this pant.
4/19/2021
I am 6’1” with 31” waist weighing 165-170. A medium does not even come close to fitting. At least 1” if not 2” too big.
I am worried a small won’t have the inseam for longer legs.

What is the difference between the TLT touring pants and the Mercury 2 pro pants? Is one warmer? Thx
1/2/2021
Hey Stefano,
The Mercury 2 Pro will fit a bit looser than the TLT Pant. The TLT Pant will also weigh about 40g less than the Mercury. Over all I'd say the Mercury is a warmer since it's actually lined on the inside!

Is there a system for buckle style walk modes like on the TLT 8? I am worried that the snow gator will interfere with the upper buckle and become a hassle.

Hey Aden, there are no cutouts in this pant. The cuff just has the snow gaiter and zip closure.

Will these fit over a normal AT boot, something like the Scarpa F1 or Dynafit TLT 7? Thank you

Hi Rob,
Yes, the cuff on these pants can accommodate those boots. I just tried putting them on a pair of Dynafit TLT8s and they fit great! They have elasticity in the pant cuff that allows them to fit a variety of boot cuff widths.
