What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"I wore these on a full-day tour with a punishing climb and a long descent, and the articulated knees never once bound up. The zippered thigh vents let me dump heat fast on the skin track, and the dedicated beacon pocket kept my transceiver secure and easy to reach."Backcountry touring puts pants through a real workout, from a sweaty uphill grind to a fast, technical descent, and the Skytour LT Pant is built to keep up with both. Skin up through a long approach with the zippered thigh vents open to manage heat, then cinch down at the waist before dropping into a line, trusting the 3L waterproof shell to handle whatever the snowpack throws at it. The internal snow gaiter with power strap slot locks out spindrift on deep days, while the dedicated avalanche beacon pocket keeps essential safety gear exactly where it needs to be, transition after transition.
