Robust, wind and waterproof hardshell pants for demanding alpine tours.

From now on there’ll be no such thing as bad weather, because the WESTALPEN 3L PANTS will get you to the highest summit no matter the conditions.

• What makes the WESTALPEN 3L PANTS unique is their innovative leg adjustments: In just three steps, these protective pants can be adjusted to fit over ski boots or for a tighter fit on mountaineering boots with crampons! The tried-and-tested QUICK-GAITER SYSTEM is just as practical, allowing the adjustable hems to fit seamlessly over mountaineering boots, eliminating the need for traditional gaiters. To round everything off, CORDURA® and DYNEEMA® in these versatile pants also provide protection against sharp edges.

Whether you’re out on the snow, ice or rock: a robust wind and waterproof Toray DERMIZAX® NX outer membrane will keep you dry while remaining breathable. Two-way zippers on the sides offer additional ventilation in challenging passages, while a third zipper allows you to open up the pant legs to hip height so they can be quickly and easily put on or taken off.
