Mountain Equipment Tupilak GORE-TEX Men's Pant

The Tupilak GORE-TEX Men's Pant is dedicated climbing and mountaineering legwear built for committing routes in the most severe weather. The very best fit and fabrics currently available make these arguably the finest hard shell legwear there is for committed alpinists and winter climbers.

The Tupilak Pant shares the same robust GORE-TEX PRO ePE 80-denier fabric throughout as the Tupilak Jacket. Well proven, the fabric strikes the ideal balance between protection, abrasion resistance, and the mobility required on hard ice and mixed routes. YKK AquaGuard full-length side zips ensure they are easy to get on and off, even when wearing crampons or on skis. There is also a bonded overlay at the hips to protect against cuts from racked screws, as well as bonded and reinforced kick strips and zip-out internal snow gaiters. Probably the most outstanding feature is the trim but unrestrictive fit, something Mountain Equipment obsessed over getting right to make them better to climb and walk in. For the longest days and routes where you start and finish in your overtrousers, these are the best there are.
