For deep backcountry settings where conditions change rapidly and the option to keep pushing comes down to your preparation and your ability to adapt. The Reconnaissance Pants set you up with a breathable big-mountain system, using supple soft shell construction through the legs with waterproof-breathable shell overlays for protection and durability where you need it. A DWR finish and taped seams shed precip and muck and the intetnal gaiters can be hooked to your boots for thigh-deep approaches. Thigh vents let you vent steam when you're bootpacking or punching in a straightline uptrack.
- Main fabric is 3-layer waterproof breathable nylon
- Inserts at inner thighs are lightweight polyester soft shell that's water resistant, stretchy and exceptionally breathable
- DWR (durable water repellent) finish and fully taped seams keep wetness out
- Integrated belt lets you fine tune the fit
- Zippered thigh vents give you a way to dump heat on the uptrack or bootpack
- 2 zippered thigh pockets have expandable bellows to hold more stuff
- Low-profile, zipper-adjustable cuffs let you access your boot buckles and laces
- Internal gaiters have a bootlace hook to keep them in place
- Ankle scuff guards for abrasion resistance
- Built-in Recco® Rescue System reflector allows ski patrol and mountain rescue teams to detect and locate Recco reflectors under snow. Recco technology is not a substitute for avalanche skills training, beacons, essential gear, or smart decision-making in the backcountry
