    This product is for…

    Backcountry ski tourers and winter climbers who need a versatile softshell pant for cold, active days. The notes lean heavily toward touring use, with ice climbing as a secondary fit.

    Worth noting…

    Specific called-out features: padded thigh pocket sized for a transceiver, removable suspenders, adjustable waistband, and internal gaiters. Notes are thin and one-sided, so no durability or fit/sizing data is available.
