Stone Glacier De Havilland LITE Pant Carbon – Lightweight, Durable Backcountry Pants

Stone Glacier De Havilland LITE Pant – Carbon

Experience a new level of versatility with the De Havilland LITE Pant in Carbon. Built for warm conditions yet ready for cool mornings when layered with a base or mid-layer, these pants move with you on every ascent, switchback, and descent. The updated nylon double weave is approximately 25% lighter than the previous model, helping you stay nimble without sacrificing durability or protection from wind and spray.

Key materials and construction emphasize performance. The fabric blends 89% nylon with 11% spandex, and a DWR treatment helps shed moisture and light precipitation, so you stay drier longer. The result is a breathable, stretchable, and resilient pant that adapts as your plan evolves from approach to ridge to camp.

Notable features combine to support comfort and practicality in rugged terrain:

• Contour Waist System for an ergonomic, adjustable fit that accommodates varying layers
• Athletic cut with articulated knees and true boot cut cuffs for unrestricted movement
• Stratum Layered Zipper System with extra-large side zips and reverse coil YKK zippers for easy venting and reliability
• Front-facing cargo pockets with quiet snaps and an internal cell phone sleeve
• Knee pad compatibility for added protection when you need it
• Compatibility with knee pads and an overall durable build that endures rough trails
• Lightweight weight: about 1 lb 3 oz, a fraction lighter than traditional hiking pants
• Water resistance and wind resistance from the DWR-treated surface

Real-world use cases demonstrate how these pants can fit into your routine: long approaches on mixed terrain, cool mornings after a warm day, or back-to-back days with changing weather. The 89/11 fabric blend balances stretch with resilience, so you can reach, crouch, and strike a confident stance without excessive bulk. The internal sleeve keeps small devices secure, and the quiet snaps preserve the tranquility of a silent approach as you move through alpine environments.

For your gear kit, the De Havilland LITE Pant presents a versatile option that works with early-season winds and damp trails while offering a comfortable fit that moves with you. Consider pairing with lightweight layers for warmth when needed, and enjoy a pant that remains easy to pack and quick to dry.
