What are the Gamma LT Pants?
The Arc'teryx Gamma line specialises in weather resistant get-up, which is breathable, abrasion resistant, and stretchy enough to withstand any mountain adventure. The versatile design of the women's Gamma LT Pants accommodates various outdoor activities, including hiking, backpacking, scrambling and rock climbing in changeable conditions.
What are they made of?
These trousers are constructed with hardwearing Fortius™ DW 2.0 that uses a combination of nylon and elastane for durability and flexibility all in one.
A rugged material that offers a breathable, weather resistant layer, Fortius™ DW 2.0 is a super versatile, comfortable softshell, ideal for long days at the crag or exploring the hills. It uses a combination of tough nylon with elastane, for a slight stretch to withstand dynamic movement and extensions when climbing or scrambling up technical terrain.
What are their features?
This lightweight softshell offers a thin, breathable layer of warmth. It has weather resistant properties for extra protection against the elements, and it is highly durable against abrasion from rough, rocky surfaces.
These trousers have an adjustable, low-profile webbing waistbelt, which is flexible and sits comfortably across the midsection. The belt is slim and smooth, meaning it can sit under a harness or a pack without feeling restrictive or annoying. It's a super handy feature because it's built into the design, therefore fits perfectly, has less bulk than other regular belts, and offers more bang for your buck as you don't need to invest in one separately!
Cut in an articulated pattern, these trousers offer plenty of room for movement. With a gusset placed at the crotch, they have a little extra fabric where you need it most, for added mobility and freedom of movement - so there's no need to worry about an embarrassing split trouser moment in front of your pals!
To fasten the trousers, there's a zippered fly with a snap fastening closure for security and low bulk. In terms of storage, zippered hand pockets are perfect for stowing snacks or energy gels. There's also a zippered thigh pocket which is roomy enough to fit a phone, wallet or GPS device.
The hems of these pants are laminated for reinforcement against hiking boots or uneven ground - they have a low-profile drawcord closure to allow wearers to adjust the style and fit around chunky boots or approach shoes. The drawcord is ideal for cinching the hems in during wet weather to offer a little extra protection around the ankles. They help stop water from splashing inside your hiking boots and making your feet or socks all soggy – there's nothing worse than enduring soggy feet on a long hike!
How do they fit?
These trousers have a regular fit, sitting a little looser on the frame for enhanced mobility and movement.
Where do they fit in the layering system?
Wear these as a light outer layer between spring and autumn for maximum performance.
