What are the Tenacity XT Pants?
The Montane Tenacity XT Pants are heavyweight technical softshell trousers designed for warmth, durability and freedom of movement for all manner of challenging mountain adventures in cold conditions.
Combining a stretch thermal softshell fabric with highly abrasion-resistant reinforcements, they're designed to handle rough terrain, repeated contact with rock and prolonged use in challenging environments.
This updated version now features an improved gusset construction and pocket layout for maximum flexibility and mountain practicality.
Materials & Technology
GRANITE STRETCH Thermal Fabric
The Tenacity XT Pants are constructed from a tough, heavyweight, four-way stretch fabric called Granite Stretch Thermal, composed of 50% Nylon, 42% Polyester and 8% Elastane.
Granite Stretch Thermal is a super-stretchy, thermally efficient material, making it ideal for steep ascents and more technical scrambles in cold conditions, where you need a greater range of movement and warm muscles ready for a challenge.
This high-performance face fabric is also highly abrasion and wind-resistant to withstand demanding mountain use. It's finished with a non-fluorocarbon DWR (durable water repellent) coating for added water resistance, providing reliable protection against the elements and your surroundings.
SCHOELLER® KEPROTEC® Kevlar® Reinforcements
The instep of the trousers is reinforced with Schoeller® Keprotec® Kevlar®, which is a super durable blend of Nylon and Aramid (Kevlar) to protect this high-wear area from scuffs and abrasion caused by rocky mountainsides, chunky mountaineering boots and crampons.
Features and Functionality
Harness-Compatible Low-Bulk Waist
The Tenacity XT Pants feature a low-profile waistband, designed to sit comfortably beneath a climbing harness or rucksack hipbelt. An internal, low-bulk waist adjustment allows you to tailor the fit over various layers, ensuring your trousers stay firmly in place throughout your adventure without adding any unnecessary bulk.
Ergonomic Mountain Fit
Constructed with Montane's mountain fit, the trousers feature an articulated fit with pre-shaped knees for maximum mobility, moving with you as you negotiate technical terrain without feeling restrictive, so you can focus on the challenge at hand.
Updated Harness-Compatible Pocket Layout
For storage, you'll find two YKK zipped hand pockets which have been updated for better use with a climbing harness, a single lateral thigh zip pocket with an improved position for better movement and a single zipped rear pocket. Together, they provide plenty of room for keeping all your quick access essentials secure and easy to reach, such as a mobile phone, energy gels, GPS device and snacks.
Reinforced Lower Leg Construction
As mentioned above, the trousers’ instep is reinforced with Schoeller® Keprotec® Kevlar® - a super tough and durable material, designed to easily withstand the wear and tear of mountaineering and alpinism, helping the trousers to withstand years of use in challenging, mountainous environments.
Improved Mobility and Comfort
The combination of stretch fabrics and an improved gusset shape helps enhance the trousers' fit, freedom of movement and all-day comfort, making them a fantastic choice for long, challenging days out on the hill.
