The Millet Kamet Shield Pant is a softshell mountaineering pant that blocks wind without trapping heat, thanks to a three-layer Element Shield fabric that is windproof, water-repellent, and highly breathable. Polyamide reinforcements at the cuffs and lower legs stand up to abrasion on rough terrain. What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"On a long skin track I open the thigh vents once I'm warm and close them again when the wind picks up on the ridge, so I don't have to swap layers. The zipped lower leg opens over my boots, which lets me pull the pants on without taking my boots off."
