Women's Pioneer Down Pants
Women's Pioneer Down Pants
Lightweight down insulated pants
Warm, windproof, and packable down insulated pants designed to layer over your other legwear to keep you comfortable when the mercury drops. Whether you're setting out on a summit push, chilling (literally) at base camp, or operating at sub-zero temperatures, these pants will protect you from the cold without weighing you down.
Designed specifically (and only) for women, they include functional features that make bathroom breaks easier when you're out in the cold. The fit is tailored for women who have wider hips, larger thighs, and shorter legs than most men. No more putting up with unisex fit or having cold legs!

Innovative TXdown Insulation
4x faster drying than pure down and warmer than synthetic fills of the same weight. Easy to care for and naturally breathable: the best of both worlds.
The stable structure prevents migration and cold spots from developing over time and with repeated packing and unpacking.
Light but strong
The 15D ripstop nylon fabric is the perfect balance of low weight, high strength, and 100% wind protection. Unlike many similar fabrics, it is also relatively quiet with low 'rustle-factor'.
Functional fly
Long two-way opening fly gives more options for peeing and also allows you to wear them over your harness and still access your belay loop. Perfect for staying warm while belaying in winter.
TXDown
Innovative TXDown insulation creates warmth with less bulk, and solves many of the problems of regular down fill: migration creating cold spots, leaking feathers, and slow drying time.
