Patagonia's best all-around polyester stretch-woven soft-shell pants for alpine climbing or ski touring. Verglas-glazed granite, snow-packed chutes and Alaskan alpine - all fair game for the all-around Alpine Guides. The midweight stretch-woven polyester/spandex blend, with a Deluge® DWR (durable water repellent) finish, won't restrict your moves; the brushed interior maintains next-to-skin comfort. A 2-way zippered fly keeps things easy with a harness on, the waistband has belt loops and back elastic, and the gusseted, zippered cuffs feature 2-position snaps and tie-down loops. With water-resistant zippered pockets: two front, two thigh, one back hip.
