Antelao Powertex 3 Layers Hardshell Women's Pant

Our Antelao Powertex 3L Shell Pant is designed to provide weather protection and freedom of movement for alpine use, from big skimo and ski touring days to winter mountaineering and ice climbing. Its waterproof, windproof, 3-layer Powertex Extreme outer fabric has welded seams and a DWR (durable water repellent) finish. Powertex® is our proprietary weather protection laminate, developed specifically for mountain sports. At its heart is an extremely thin polyurethane (PU) membrane that provides permanent waterproofing as its microscopic pores are much smaller than water droplets. However, the membrane pores are much larger than the water vapour molecules released during perspiration, which allows them to escape from inside your clothing. This is what makes the membrane both waterproof and breathable. For extra ventilation, use the side zippers at the thighs. For additional protection from ski edges and crampons, we reinforce the hem and inside leg with abrasion-resistant CORDURA®. There is a removable, extra high-cut, stretch, windproof waistband with adjustable braces. To ensure good mobility and freedom of movement, we design the Antelao Powertex 3L Shell Pant with an ergonomic waist and pre-shaped knees. And should you need to answer the call of nature in the backcountry, at the rear there is an ergonomically inset rear rainbow zipper.
