IFMGA Guide
The Trace Pants are an excellent new addition to the Ortovox line-up. As an Ortovox Ambassador, I get the opportunity to try a lot of different pants and these ones are my new summertime rock alpine favorite. That's because their nicely light weight, simple in design, and have a trim stretch fit that allows for maximal performance. Even after several months of almost-daily use--some of those days in chimneys!--they are still looking good.
