How This Review Happened

We were fortunate enough to visit the Jones headquarters in Truckee California and film this review in their beautiful new studio.

Fit 

The Jones shralpinist gore-tex pro pant has a normal fit. Not too tight or too baggy. These pants are roomy enough to reach a full stride on the skin track, without feeling bulky.

Construction

Extra burley three layer gore-tex pro fabric in the seat and knees for added durability. Very high quality seem welding and minimalist stitching.

Waterproofing/Breathability

The Jones shralpinist gore-tex pro pant is at the pinnacle of waterproofing technology. I haven’t been able to field test this pair of pants, but I have worn other gore-tex pro pants and they will keep you dry for hours in the rain. Not going to be as breathable as the shralpinist stretch bibs, but these pants are going to be more waterproof.

Pockets

2 pockets total. 2 large front zipper pockets with a mesh media holder. No rear pockets

Gaitors/Cuffs

Standard boot gaitor.

Venting

2 large zippered side vents on the outside of the thighs. No inner crotch vents.

Buttons

2 extra sturdy buttons on the waist.

Liner

The Jones shralpinist gore-tex pro pant has a typical gore-tex liner. Not the softest to the touch but ideally you won’t have bare skin against this fabric.

Conclusion

The Jones shralpinist gore-tex pro pant is ideal for big days that bring variable conditions. The three layer gore-tex pro fabric is the apex of waterproofing technology. These pants will handle every condition the mountain can throw at you, even hours of rain. A great option for the 100+ day a year rider, someone that sees a lot of moisture, or for someone that just pushes their gear to limit.
