Sustainable and smart design

• DryVent fabric provides reliable waterproofing while remaining breathable, helping you stay drier as activity levels rise.
• Exploration Without Compromise badge signals a strong commitment to sustainability, with 75% or more recycled or responsibly sourced materials by weight.
• Non-PFC durable water-repellent finish offers water resistance without using perfluorinated chemicals.
• Sealed seams help minimize moisture penetration at key junctions during wet or snowy conditions.

Built for movement and weather

• Shell and lining incorporate elastane for enhanced stretch, allowing dynamic movements from ascent to descent.
• Slim-fit cut with a straight hip-to-thigh line and a tapered leg — designed to pair with boots and gaiters without bulk.
• Articulated knees and durable kick patches improve mobility and durability across snow, gravel, and trails.
• Hem binding helps protect cuffs and extend wear season after season.

Real-world use cases

Whether you’re carving powder on a sunny ridge or testing your limits on a winter hike, these pants offer practical protection and comfort. Expect responsive warmth when paired with midlayers, reliable wind blocking on exposed ridges, and unrestricted movement during high-step ascents or rapid descents. The Non-PFC DWR finish adds a layer of rain and light snow resistance that can handle variable mountain weather.

Care and versatility

Designed to transition from resort slopes to backcountry routes, these pants pair well with a range of insulating layers and shells. For longevity, follow standard wash care and avoid fabric softeners that can reduce DWR performance over time. The result is versatile outerwear that can adapt to changing conditions without compromising on comfort or function.
