These lightweight shell pants are made for all-year mountaineering but work great for general outdoor activities all year, from trekking to ski touring.

The pants are made in a premium GORE-TEX® fabric, and we use this because it is the world-leading membrane for durable waterproofness (28,000mm), optimized breathability (RET 6), and total windproofness.

These pants are made in a GORE-TEX PACLITE® PLUS fabric – a soft, lightweight tiny rip-stop fabric with a 30D recycled nylon face. It’s incredibly packable, thin, and lightweight while being durably waterproof, windproof, and offers excellent breathability. It has printed dots on the backer with a 3D function to keep distance to the body and create higher friction and a less sticky durable interior. The bottom leg is made in a 30D 3L GORE-TEX® 30D to increase durability where the pants tend to rub against your boots.

Key features include: A Custom-fit waist, a zippered thigh pocket with a mesh pocket, ¾ side zippers for flexible ventilation and effective dressing, a bootlace hook, Velcro adjustment on the ankles, and eyelets if you want to fasten a cord around the boot to make sure it stays in place.

The pants have a technical fit with articulated knees to improve mobility.
