High expectations are placed on women's softshell pants designed for ski tours: they need to offer protection against the elements, maintain breathability, and exhibit the robustness necessary to withstand the challenges of alpine terrain. The Monviso softshell pants for women manage this balancing act with flying colors. With its water-repellent fabric, this material is 100% windproof, courtesy of the integrated membrane. Plus, the elastane content ensures unrestricted mobility. When necessary, long ventilation zips, backed with mesh, provide cooling and ventilation without allowing snow to penetrate. These women's softshell pants are also perfect for alpine adventures. Abrasion-resistant reinforcements protect the leg cuffs from rock contact and sharp ski edges or crampons; an inner gaiter keeps out ice and snow. The low-profile, adjustable waistband with Velcro closure remains comfortable even when wearing a climbing harness, and the slanted side pockets remain effortlessly within reach whenever you need them. An additional leg pocket provides space for an avalanche transceiver, phone, topographic map, or a hat.
