PATAGONIA WHITE SMOKE PANTS (WOMEN'S)

Patagonia's Women's White Smoke Pants are top-flight backcountry skiing/riding softshells with waterproof reinforcements to defy in-flux weather.

Skiing and snowboarding pants for burly backcountry travel - through suspect weather, mixed conditions, harsh terrain. The stretch-woven soft shell is durable, lightweight and breathable on uphills. It's also stretchy, for two-way give and flex, and has a 2-layer waterproof H2NoŽ fabric reinforcing the seat and knees for excellent storm protection.

White Smokes make use of a welded seam construction to enhance compressibility, water-resistance and durability, and to minimize weight. Inside, a soft, textured poly-mesh lining manages moisture and glides snag-free over layers. The flexible DelugeŽ DWR (durable water repellent) treated zippers reduce bulk and slide easily. At the waist, a contoured rear yoke and brushed tricot lining allow unrestricted hip and back motion; the waist adjusts with internal hook-and-loop closures and has wide belt loops.

Other features: articulated knees, fully featured gaiters, heavy-duty edge guards and four easily accessible pockets (two hand, two thigh). Women's White Smokes have outer thigh vents and a regular, feminine fit with room for layering. Imported.
