These lightweight shell pants are designed for freeride-minded ski touring and are suitable for general skiing activities, all-year mountaineering, and hiking.

It has a solution-dyed rip-stop backer. The bottom leg is reinforced with a lightweight 200D Vectran fabric to increase durability where the pants tend to rub against boots or steel edges. Key features include: A Custom-Fit Waist system for easy customization, side venting from hip to below the knee with two-way zippers, two strategically placed thigh pockets, and a small key pocket. Zipper openings from the lower leg that run up to the boot shaft enable easy width adjustment to accommodate walk and ski modes. Snap tightening under the knee enables tightening around the leg to prevent loose fabric when using crampons, and it has integrated lightweight adjustable snow gaiters.
