Good hiking/mountaineering pants?

I need a good pair of pants that can be used in cold temperatures for hiking/climbing, usually in snow. This is a harder thing to find than I thought. Should they be definitely waterproof or just resistant?
I’ve found these two, which is better and why?

First is more of a climbing style pant and not water proof or very warm, second is more of skiing and is ridiculously warm and waterproof but very constraining and not the greatest for hiking and such. Which is best or any other suggestions that aren’t like a couple hundred dollars?

The Mountain Hardware pants are better than the Columbia’s pants.
Why? Because they’re Mountain Hardware that’s why.
For reviews, try Amazon, they always have a lot of customer feedback on outdoor clothing.
