Designed to be worn over shell pants and filled with lofty ThermoLite® insulation, the Belay Pants insulate even when wet, compress in your pack, and feature full-length side zippers for easy on and off while wearing crampons. An integrated adjustable belt helps you dial in the fit over varying layers.

Except for its heavy weight, it is warm and suitable for ice climbing.
Warm pants mainly for breaks. I've used it once while moving, last Christmas when I went for a leisurely day walk it was -25 and when I came back a couple of hours later it was -27. Just merino pants underneath, but my groin is still sweaty. Christmas overeating could also play a role. The sizing has taken into account that these can be worn over everything else. They still stay on thanks to the belt. Quality ones. They don't pack into as small a space as down-filled ones, but they are more affordable and probably more durable, the filling doesn't come out of the small spark hole. For the winter hiker traveling with Ahkio.
