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 belaying 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!

FAQs

Q: What size is pictured in the photos?

A: Size Medium on a real life woman who has a 31" (79cm) waist, 41" (104cm) hips and a 30" inside leg.

 Q: I'm short in the leg, will they fit me? 

A: The pants are designed for an average women's inside leg measurement of 31" (79cm).

Q: Will they be warm enough for a mountain like Aconcagua?

A: That depends on what you are wearing underneath, how fast you are moving, and how bad the weather is! They are designed for conditions between +5ºC and -15ºC but remember everyone experiences cold differently.

Q: Are there any pockets?

A: No, in order to keep the weight low and the construction 100% windproof. The zips do allow you to reach to your inner layer pockets though.

Q: Can you put them on over your boots?

A: Yes, by opening the zips from the cuff up to the thigh you can put them on over boots (but not skis).

Q: Where are they made?

A: Italy

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.

Fabric

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'.

DESIGN

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.

Insulation

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.

Drop seat functionality

  • Made in Italy

    Made in Italy by a family owned and run business. Small batch production ensures we only make what we need, helping reduce waste.
