These breathable, waterproof pants are definitely a great buy. One thing is for sure, these will last you a long time, featuring Kevlar enforced cut resistant hems and strong yet soft to the touch Gore-Tex® outer materials. Articulated knees provide excellent freedom of movement. These would be the pants to wear if you are bound to hit the back-country for some untouched powder runs. The pants feature a sewn-in Recco® avalanche reflector, which is a small non-powered electronic transponder that bounces back signals sent out by rescue searchers enabling them to quickly pinpoint your location in an avalanche. Very good pants and they’re comfortable too!
