Mountain Equipment Mission Pant softshell-housut - obsidian/black koko: M

When the wind picks up and the temperature drops, ordinary hiking pants leave you exposed. The Mountain Equipment Mission Pant solves that problem with a softshell construction that blocks wind, sheds light precipitation, and moves with you over technical terrain. Made from EXOLITE 210 stretch double weave, these pants offer the perfect balance of protection and breathability for fast-moving mountain pursuits.

The alpine fit and articulated knees provide unrestricted mobility for high steps, scrambling, and long approaches. If you need a durable, weather-resistant pant that won't hold you back, this is your go-to layer.
