The Cottonwoods Xpore Shell Pant runs on a 2-layer Xpore construction and takes a full season of hard use without falling apart. Its membrane is fully seam sealed, solvent-free, and carries no intentionally added PFAS, keeping it waterproof and breathable from resort laps to backcountry approaches. A recycled polyester face fabric and taffeta lining carry that same durability from waist to boot cuff. What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"I've kicked through crusty, icy edges all day and the Kevlar kick panels never turned into a stiff spot that fights my stride. The reinforcement sits exactly where my boots hit hardest, and the hem still moves like the rest of the pant."
