Outdoor Research Headwall Gore-Tex 3L Pants | Waterproof, Windproof, Durable Climbing & Ski Pants

Weather-ready performance for ambitious days

Outdoor Research Headwall Gore-Tex 3L pants are built to meet the demands of wet trails, windy ridgelines, and cold alpine descents. Crafted with Gore-Tex 3L ePE and a 75D shell, they blend rugged durability with flexible movement. The outer fabric uses 100% recycled poly and the design carries bluesign approval, underscoring a commitment to sustainability without sacrificing protection.

Key benefits include waterproof and windproof protection that keep you dry and comfortable, while the breathable membrane allows excess heat to escape as you push hard. The durable 85% nylon, 15% Kevlar scuff guards resist abrasion from rocks, boot studs, and gear, helping the pants endure rough use over time.

Seam sealing and weather-tight details matter on storm days. The pants are fully seam-taped and feature YKK Aquaguard full-length separating side zippers for venting and easy on/off, even with gloves. The secure waist uses a dual snap at the fly and adjustable Velcro tabs to dial in a snug fit, so the pants stay in place during climbs or descents.

Designed with real-world versatility, these pants are built to work with climbing and skiing boots. Snug cuff adjustments can be snapped and tightened to reduce wind ingress and prevent debris from entering. A dedicated beacon pocket keeps essentials accessible during backcountry trips.
