    Danny Innamorati, Climbing Guide

    Long synthetic and breathable soft shell pant for any adverse weather like wind or light Precipitation. Take these out for multipitch, or any alpine route you have planned. Downside is that they aren't as durable as your favorite crag pant. I recommend these when your'e planning a longer route, with a full day of moving and climbing in mind.
