What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:“These are my go-to backcountry touring pants for stormy or cold days. The four-way stretch gives me full mobility on the skintrack, and the waterproof panels keep me dry without overheating. I really like the RECCO® integration and the smart layout of the vents and stash pockets—they’ve clearly been designed with skiers in mind.”Built for high-output movement in big mountain terrain, the Black Diamond Dawn Patrol Hybrid Pants are a backcountry favorite for ski tourers who demand breathability and weather protection in one refined package. By combining a stretch-woven body with waterproof panels in critical zones, these hybrid pants keep snow out without stifling airflow on the uphill. Whether lapping powder bowls, ticking off technical traverses, or threading tight tree lines, these pants offer all-season versatility and freedom. The thoughtful details shine on long tours—two thigh vents dump heat fast, while articulated knees and stretch cuffs enhance motion through kick turns and bootpacks. Dual snap cuff adjustments work with different boot sizes, and the integrated snow gaiters keep the slush sealed out. Smart features like the RECCO® reflector, quick-access electronics pocket, and integrated low-profile waist belt round out a pant that’s ready to handle it all.
