The lightweight polyester stretch-woven fabric of our Simul Alpine Pants moves, breathes and resists weather, while the articulated pattern and gusset complement the technical cut. The waistband combines soft elastic with a contoured back panel and separating zip-fly for a sleek, comfortable fit under a harness or backpack waistbelt. The two front and two thigh pockets (sized to accommodate a field notebook) all close with zippers. A slender lower leg lets you see your feet, and the cuffs tighten with a shock cord and cord lock. Tie-down loops allow you to attach an under-the-heel cord for use with alpine boots. Fair Trade Certified sewn.
