Sandstone desert towers or Bugaboos granite peaks come with the potential for bone-penetrating wind and fast moving storms. When you're belaying high off the deck or scrambling the summit ridge, these soft shells block wind and shed light rain. Wind and water resistant, the stretch fabric provides unrestricted freedom of movement, as well as durability and abrasion resistance for rock and alpine environments. A convertible design lets you choose to wear pants or shorts.
- Fabric is nylon (46% recycled) and spandex, stretch woven for breathability and durability
- Belt loops and zippered fly with internal drawcord waist
- Herringbone webbing at waist is low-profile under a harness or pack
- Brushed-tricot lined waistband
- Front slash pockets, rear pockets and a zippered thigh pocket
- Zippers convert them to shorts (with a 10-inch inseam)
- Articulated knees ensure mobility for high steps and other mobility demanding maneouvers
- Drawcord ankle adjustments keep out snow or wind and retain heat
