In the icy breath of the Scottish peaks or on the steep slopes of the Himalayas, every detail matters. Where the snow crunches beneath your feet and the wind whistles in your ears, the Switch Pant by Mountain Equipment becomes your best ally. Designed for mountaineering enthusiasts, these trousers combine lightweight features with insulation to support you in the harshest conditions. Thanks to its innovative lining made of Octayarn, it brilliantly wicks away moisture while regulating your body temperature, keeping you warm and dry.
The secret of this performance lies in the unique structure of Octayarn, resembling an eight-toothed gear. This bold design maximizes the fiber surface, offering exceptional thermal insulation while remaining incredibly lightweight. With its windproof and water-repellent stretch fabric, the Switch Pant repels light rain and cold wind, providing unparalleled freedom of movement. Two zipped pockets and a thigh pocket complete this thoughtful design, keeping your essentials within reach.
A true Swiss army knife for high mountain adventures, the Switch Pant easily slips under a Hardshell pant for extra protection. Compact and easy to carry, it becomes an indispensable companion for Fast & Light missions and multi-day hikes. All this while minimizing its environmental impact. So, ready to face the elements with style and comfort?
