What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"These pants are bomber. I've taken them through spring slush, wind-scoured ridges, and alpine scrambles-they handle it all without breaking stride, and the mobility is unreal for something this protective."We head to the mountains not to escape the weather, but to move confidently through it. The Mixed Alpine Pants are purpose-built for demanding conditions, combining protection, mobility, and conscious construction. Whether we're skinning deep into the backcountry or navigating technical bootpacks, these pants deliver the confidence we need when the weather's unsure and the terrain is anything but mellow. Crafted with a hybrid construction, they feature a 2-layer recycled polyester for stretch and breathability where we move most, and a 3-layer Gore-Tex C-Knit(TM) fabric over high-exposure zones like the seat and thighs. The result? Durable waterproofing where we need it, and flexible mobility everywhere else. With a slim fit, articulated knees, and a RECCO(R) reflector for added safety, these alpine pants check every box for high-output missions in rugged environments.
