What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying: "These pants strike the perfect balance between lightweight packability and rugged protection. The hybrid GORE-TEX construction keeps me dry without feeling bulky, while the articulated knees and gusseted crotch give me full freedom of movement. The ¾-length side zips make them easy to pull on over boots, and the adjustable hem ensures a secure fit. Whether I’m tackling rainy trails or navigating wet alpine terrain, these are my go-to waterproof pants." Stormy skies and unpredictable terrain won’t slow us down with the Mountain Equipment Saltoro Pant. Built for trekking and backpacking, these lightweight waterproof pants feature a hybrid GORE-TEX construction that balances breathability and durability where we need it most. The main body uses GORE-TEX PACLITE® to keep weight to a minimum, while reinforced panels of 3-layer GORE-TEX 75D fabric add extra protection in high-wear areas. Designed for movement, the Saltoro Pant features an active fit with articulated knees and a gusseted crotch for unrestricted mobility on steep ascents and rocky descents. The integrated waistband sits comfortably under a pack, and the two-way ¾-length side zips allow for quick ventilation and easy on-off over boots. When wet weather looms, we trust these pants to keep us dry without weighing us down.
