Northwall Softshell Pant — Men's

CRN-PNT-001 · In stock $279
Sizes SMLXL

When the air bites deep on a January ice climb, or a blustery alpine ascent demands relentless movement, your pants need to move with you and stand up to the elements. The Cairn Alpine Northwall Softshell Pant excels in these conditions, thanks to its durable 220gsm stretch-woven double-weave nylon blend that sheds light precipitation with a DWR finish while offering exceptional freedom of movement. Its trim athletic fit, paired with articulated knees and a gusseted crotch, ensures unhindered mobility whether you’re high-stepping or skinning. Schoeller Keprotec instep patches shrug off crampon points and ski edges. Thoughtful features like the integrated low-profile webbing belt, three zippered pockets, and zippered ankle cuffs with gussets—designed to fit over mountaineering boots—make it a reliable partner for alpine climbing, ice climbing, and backcountry ski touring. At just 520 grams, it’s a lightweight workhorse for any 4-season mountain objective.
