Patagonia Descensionist Pants Women's

Put it on, leave it on. Patagonia's most breathable weatherproof shell (ever), the Descensionist Pants deliver exceptional up and down performance for freeride and backcountry specialists. Made of a supersoft, 3-layer plain-weave shell fabric with a forgiving mechanical stretch so you can move freely throughout the day. A DWR (durable water repellent) finish protects the fabric from saturation due to wet snow and deep postholing sessions and increases abrasion resistance. The soft, moisture-wicking interior glides over underlayers and moves moisture when your body is breathing from the inside out. Articulated patterning throughout the pants combined with the stretch of the fabric allows exceptional mobility for climbing or descending. Thigh vents keep air moving freely to reduce heat buildup; internal gaiters provide a tenacious seal even when you're postholing breakable crust. At the waist, a soft, self-fabric lining adds all-day skin comfort and repels moisture to keep you dry. The internal belt (and belt loops) hold your pants where you want them, while a two-snap closure, a zip fly and a webbing loop on the rear yoke (connects to the powder skirt on any Patagonia® Snow jacket) complete the waist details. Other features include tough scuff guards, watertight coated zippers with slim zip installation to reduce weight and bulk, two hand pockets, two large thigh pockets and an embedded RECCO® avalanche rescue reflector. With an articulated, feminine silhouette.
