A staple for alpine rock, light and fast mixed climbing, ski touring and all things mountain, the soft-shell Simple Guide Pants deliver in every condition. They're the lightest stretch-woven alpine climbing pants. The polyester (100% recycled)/spandex double-weave blend stretches with your every stride, stays durable but lightweight, moves sweat, is now more breathable and still resists weather with a Deluge DWR (durable water repellent) finish. The styling features an updated, more technical tapered fit in the lower legs, a zippered fly and a partially elasticized waistband. Other details include articulated knees and a gusseted crotch for mobility, and DWR-treated reverse-coil zippers on the pockets: two front, one thigh and one rear hip.
