THE BENCHMARK IN HARDSHELL COMFORT
Robust, weatherproof freeriding pants with soft merino lining
Highlights
- Unique feel
- Protection in all conditions
- Optimum freedom of movement
Listen up, freeriders: With clever details, clear lines, and fresh colors, the 3L GUARDIAN SHELL PANTS for men are ready for action in steep couloirs.
They feature a unique combination of high-performance Toray DERMIZAX®EV membrane and are fully lined with fine merino wool. The wool has a temperature- and moisture-regulating effect and feels pleasantly soft against the skin, while the outer membrane provides protection against water and wind. Thanks to their robust membrane and flat seams, these freeriding pants are particularly durable and long-wearing. The integrated Dyneema-Cordura gaiters and sharp-edge protectors provide additional protection when freeriding. The pants are also PFC-free and climate-neutral in the interest of sustainability.
The cut of these comfortable freeriding pants guarantees ideal freedom of movement in any terrain. Ventilation zippers on the sides provide additional ventilation when the going gets tough. Small objects that you need to reach quickly can be stowed away in the concealed hip pockets and extra roomy, three-dimensional thigh pockets.
