Mountain Equipment Makalu Women's GORE-TEX Pant - Mountaineering and Trekking | 75D GORE-TEX ePE | 28,000mm HH | 3/4 Side Zips

The Makalu is one of Mountain Equipment's most popular women's waterproof pants, made for year-round mountaineers, climbers and walkers. The 75-denier GORE-TEX ePE fabric balances durability against weight, standing up to mountain rock and heavy packs while staying supple enough to pack and wear all day. Two-way 3/4-length side zips let you pull them on over boots or crampons.
