The Chamois Pants are made from the 4 way stretch Soft Shell fabric known as Exolite 210. The double weave construction and smooth face to this fabric resists abrasion, while the soft inner lining is lovely and comfortable next to skin. These trousers are great for all year round use as a versatile, wind resistant and breathable option.
They have a women’s specific Alpine Fit with a regular fit ankle. The combination of the tailored Alpine Fit block, with its high waist band allows for a great range of movement and lower back coverage, and the Regular Fit Ankle means these pants are incredible versatile; whether you are walking, climbing or mountaineering, it will accommodate low volume footwear with the ankle gusted zipped up but for a more relaxed fit you can unzip to allow room for bulkier footwear.
