EXPDN 3L PANTS

Took these out on a proper alpine ridge in freezing wind, and the Pertex Shield Air kept me dry without turning into a sweatbox on the climb. The Octa lining over the thighs was a lifesaver when we stopped for breaks—no more chilled legs.

Tested these in a proper downpour on a ridge hike and the PERTEX SHIELD AIR kept me bone dry while the OCTA lining over the thigh stopped that clammy chill completely. Fit is trim enough to layer under a shell, and the articulation in the knees is spot on for scrambling.

The OCTA lining on the thigh kept me warm without any clamminess during a cold, windy day of scrambling. The Pertex Shield Air fabric is surprisingly quiet and flexible for a three-layer shell, which I really appreciate on exposed ridges.
