LIGHTNESS MEETS HARDSHELL PERFORMANCE

Lightweight hardshell pants for high alpine tours

Highlights

  • Wind and waterproof thanks to a high-performance Dermizax® NX membrane 
  • Fit specially adapted to the requirements of high-alpine terrain
  • Extremely lightweight and breathable
  • Small pack size

Lightweight performance – from the valleys to the summits: Our WESTALPEN 3L LIGHT alpine touring pants for men have been developed for demanding mountaineers who are looking for the perfect symbiosis of lightness, protection and functionality. The new 3L WESTALPEN LIGHT outfit can be packed up small and is very versatile.

A Dermizax® NX 3-layer construction protects against extreme weather while the technical design focuses completely upon the needs of alpinists in the high mountains.  Thanks to the extra-high-performance DERMIZAX® NX membrane, the outer material is completely wind and waterproof without compromising on breathability or freedom of movement.

In the WESTALPEN 3L LIGHT alpine touring pants for men we have also used reinforced material in the hem area to guarantee protection against scuffs from crampons or rough mountain surfaces. In addition, an internal 2-stopper hem adjustment ensures a neat look and optimum fit over mountaineering boots.  Ventilation zippers allow for a comfortable climate, even on demanding descents. Merino Tec inserts in the waistband and hooks to adjust the waistband provide additional comfort.

Review with rating of 1 out of 5 stars

Eine tolle, leichte Hose zum überziehen oder solo mit Unterwäsche. Toller Schnitt, sitz satt am Gesäß. Aber warum wird diese Hose sooooooo kurz geschnitten? Man hebt das Bein und schon läuft das Wasser von oben in den Stiefel. Man streift sie über die Tourenhose ( Westalpen Softshellhose) und diese schaut 5 cm unten raus!!!! Und für diese Fehlkonstruktion auch noch unterirdische Preise verlangen!! Sorry Ortovox, so gerne wie ich euch trage, dass ist Mist.

This lightweight jacket and pant are fantastic. I've used these during hut trips, hiking, and snow shoeing. Incredibly light yet provides solid protection. I would use this for skiing, but that's not what they is meant for. I have used it for a few season now and there are no signs of wear.

Well designed pants, great for all your trips on the glacier and snowy ridges in the summer and on icefalls in the winter.
