Our Take

Breathable, Stretchy, Weather-Resistant, and Durable for Alpine Climbing

The Cirque III Pants are built for alpine exploration, featuring weather-resistant materials and an alpine-forward design set, perfect for 3-season use and a quintessential ally for the modern mountaineer.

Crafted from a bluesign® approved nylon blend, the 90D stretch double weave fabric offers unparalleled abrasion resistance and breathability. Movement-mirroring stretch and articulated knees ensure freedom of movement while climbing, skinning, or descending. Thermoregulating ActiveTemp™ treatment on the brushed tricot-lined waistband adapts to the body's temperature, and an avalanche beacon pocket with clip secures critical safety gear. Gusseted ankle zippers and reinforced scuff guards allow the pants to fit over various boot shapes and sizes and protect from crampons and ski edges. The adjustable waist tabs ensure a perfect fit, and YKK® DWR-treated zippers alongside zip hand and thigh pockets keep essentials safe and dry.

Specifically designed for climbing and backcountry skiing in the high alpine, the Cirque III Pants are a three-season mountaineering staple.

    Why We Love It
    Lacie Smith

    Cold alpine objectives demand a pant that handles real conditions without requiring a hardshell on top, and the Cirque III delivers that. The heavier construction provides genuine warmth on summit climbs without cooking you at lower elevations, which means you are wearing one pant for the whole day rather than juggling layers. The cuffs are built to take abuse, holding up against crampons and rough terrain where lighter softshell pants give out. The thigh pocket placement is well thought out, sitting right where you need it for a transceiver or quick-access essentials without getting in the way of hip belt or harness. The waist closure is simple and effective, nothing fussy when you are in gloves. Guides have noted they rarely reach for hardshell pants over these, which is the clearest measure of how well they perform in the field.

    “I love everything about the OR Cirque Pants; they're thick enough for cold summit climbs, and not too hot for lower elevations. The pockets are great for a transceiver and other necessities.”
    — Lacie Smith, RMI Guide
