Abrasion-ready pants for mountaineering
A durable, stretchy nylon-blend ripstop pant built for mountaineering, with abrasion-resistant reinforcement at the knees and hem where pants take the most wear. The articulated knees and adjustable waist with an inner drawstring support movement on the mountain, and the fabric is water-resistant with a soft interior. Note that the pant is non-insulated, so warmth depends on your layering.[1]
Pants made to pair with boots
Zip open the ankles to slip boots on and off easily, then close them again with the snap-button cuffs. The silicone cuff is designed to grip your boots for a secure fit, and the gathered elastic finish sits over the top of your footwear.[1,2]
