From our home mountain to the fluff of our dreams overseas, the ORTOVOX Ortler 3L Pant keeps us and our checked bag light. This featherweight pair stands strong against the mountain's wrath, shielding us from icy winds and puking powder. We open the hip-to-hem side zips to boost airflow on steep climbs, while the tough kick patches brush off sharp ski edges and crampon points. As we reap our reward, the articulated knees give us full shred freedom.
