Patagonia Women's Stretch Ascent Pants:
In torrential downpours and high-mountain blizzards, Patagonia's new Stretch Ascent Pants provide bombproof storm protection. They stretch and breathe with the most limber of climbers. The performance comes from the lightweight, pliable 2.5-layer fabric package of stretch-woven polyester (100% recycled) laminated to a waterproof/breathable barrier. The full-length, water resistant, coated side-zips separate fully to allow for a drop-seat and easy on/off, while the gripper elastic cuffs have a secure snap closure and loops for an underfoot tie-down cord. Other details: snap waist with elasticized back, zip fly and a glued-on right thigh pocket. Recyclable through the Common Threads Recycling Program.
