What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"I wear these on cold, clear days when I don't need full hardshell coverage but still want wind protection and stretch. The Matrix(TM) fabric breathes well on the climb, and the fit is dialed for movement with boots and harnesses."Built for skintrack ascents, high traverses, and technical mixed routes, the Tour Plus Pants offer breathable softshell protection with a movement-focused design. The Matrix(TM) stretch double-weave fabric offers just the right amount of wind resistance and water repellency while staying lightweight and mobile. Reinforced kicker patches and hem protect against ski edges and crampons, while a zippered ankle gusset accommodates different boot styles. The articulated fit, part-elastic waistband, and slim silhouette make these a reliable companion for backcountry tours, alpine missions, and cold-weather objectives where agility and protection matter most.
