Spring-weight (slightly heavier than Rock Guide) 4-way stretch-woven polyester soft shell climbing pants with crossover alpine features for skiing or alpine climbing.

A backcountry version of our immensely popular Simple Guides, the new Lightweight Guide Pants combine skiing and alpine climbing features with a lightweight, free-moving and highly breathable four-way stretch-woven fabric. They resist moisture and provide mountain-worthy durability, and the fit allows for spring-weight underlayers on those brisk alpine starts. Reinforced, articulated knees enhance mobility, while the zippered and gusseted cuffs adjust to various boot girths, have a snap closure and feature tie-down loops as well as crampon/ski edge scuff guards. With a zippered fly, belt loops and pockets (two hand, one glued-on right thigh) that close with laser-cut, glued-in zippers. Recyclable through the Common Threads Recycling Program.
