What are the Roc Blanc Pants?
Tried and tested by the professionals, the Roc Blanc Pants are perfect for alpine climbing and ski-touring. They've been developed over the years for optimum mountain performance and are made with reliable Gore-Tex® Pro for maximum protection against the elements.
What are they made of?
These trousers comprise Gore-Tex® Pro 3L with a woven ripstop backer, polyamide membrane and Cordura® Dyneema® blend reinforcements. The materials are bluesign® approved, and Oeko-Tex certified, ensuring they're much more planet friendly than conventional technical pants.
Gore-Tex® Pro 3L is a three-layer fabric that provides maximum waterproof protection, with the classic Gore-Tex® Guaranteed to keep you dry™ promise. Whilst fully protective, it's highly breathable to encourage optimum temperature regulation and less sweat accumulation overall, and it doesn't even stop there! Gore-Tex® Pro is completely windproof, protecting you from harsh gusts on exposed routes, and rugged enough to take on extreme environments.
The cut-proof blend of Cordura® and Dyneema® is extremely durable and helps to resist tears from rough surfaces, jagged rocks and contact with crampons, perfect for reinforcing these already hardwearing bum-clingers.
The main materials are treated with PFOA-free durable water repellent for reinforced weather protection, and the ripstop backer is solution-dyed, which is much kinder to the environment.
What are their features?
These trousers have no top stitches to minimise bulk and reduce the risk of seams snagging in demanding terrain.
They have a detachable bib and suspenders for those who prefer extra security and coverage or are exploring more extreme environments.
For storage, three zipped pockets give you plenty of options to tuck away small belongings that you want to keep close-by, such as a GPS device or energy gels. Alternatively, you could clip items onto the belt loops with carabiners for easy access.
At the sides of the legs, 3/4 length, two-way zips are great for ventilation if you need to quickly dump some heat before you carry on with your route.
Articulated knees give you better freedom of movement for steep, technical ascents, and lower leg adjustments allow you to adapt the fit over chunky mountain boots.
Finally, internal snow gaiters help to keep the white stuff on the outside to maximise warmth and improve protection in all conditions.
