Patagonia W&&';;s Stormstride Pants A shell pant that actually moves with you. Most shell pants are cut for the downhill. The Stormstride is cut for both directions. Stretch 3-layer H2No fabric moves with your stride on the uptrack and seals out weather on the descent - no more choosing between breathability and protection depending on which way you&';re going. Lighter than the PowSlayer, more packable, and a better fit for tours where you&';re covering distance. If your days involve long approaches, skinning ridgelines, or splitboarding in variable Sierra conditions, these are the pants. Best for: Backcountry touring, splitboarding, any day where the uphill matters as much as the downhill. Not for: Extreme deep-powder resort skiing - the PowSlayer handles that better. Fit: True to size. Athletic cut through the hip and thigh - if you&';re between sizes, size up. Ideal For Backcountry days with variable snow & weather All-day touring when mobility matters Those who demand waterproof performance that moves Key Features Stretch 3-layer H2NoA(R) shell with DWR Thigh vents for airflow Two zippered front-thigh cargo pockets Gaiters + scuff guards + adjustable cuffs Interior loops for jacket interface Product Specs Fabric: H2No Performance Standard shell - 4.8 oz 40-denier PertexA(R) Shield 100% recycled nylon stretch plain weave with soft recycled polyester knit backer & DWR finish Weight (example): 1 lb 2.4 oz Features: Low-profile waistband with 2-snap zipper fly & exterior belt loops; elastic adjust tabs; zippered cargo pockets; thigh vents; gaiters; scuff guards; 3-setting cuffs Reflector: Concealed RECCOA(R) reflector Fit: Slim fit to wear over baselayers Country / Construction: Made in Fair Trade Certified(TM) factory
