{"product_id":"mountain-equipment-switch-womens-pant","title":"Mountain Equipment Switch Women's Pant","description":"\u003cp\u003eFast drying, windproof and lightly insulated legwear for cold weather mountaineering. Highly wicking and lightly insulated, the Switch Pant helps regulate body temperature when working hard in cold mountain conditions. Offering windproof protection and good breathability, it can be worn alone for long approaches, trips between lower camps or demanding pitches, before becoming the perfect insulating layer under hard or soft shell trousers in more severe conditions. Packable, lightweight and quick drying, these insulated pants are essential everywhere, from the howling depths of Scottish winter to the most commanding Alpine north faces or remote Himalayan expeditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eInnovative Active Insulation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the centre of the Switch Pant's active insulation lies the unique Octayarn warp-knit lining: a modern, lightweight and highly wicking alternative to traditional polyester fleece fabrics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnder the microscope, Octayarn is made from hollow, multidentate fibres, with each individual fibre having eight protruding cog-like teeth. This complex 3D structure increases surface area and traps warm air, improving warmth and moisture-wicking capability while reducing overall weight. Octayarn offers the thickness of an 80 denier fibre but for half the weight and considerably less bulk.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe soft Octayarn is woven in a highly breathable warp-knit and used without an inner face fabric. This offers unparalleled moisture transfer, wicking moisture away from the skin to keep you comfortable when working hard and drying fast after strenuous ascents.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA lightweight, stretch-woven outer offers wind resistance and PFAS-free water repellency, protecting you from light rain, spin drift and cold winds. The mechanical stretch and gusseted crotch design allow complete freedom of movement, even through the most strenuous high steps, yet the fit is trim for active layering. There is a simple elasticated waistband with drawcord adjustment for a seamless fit and a zippered fly. Zipped hand pockets and a thigh pocket provide useful storage for essentials on the move.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterials\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLightweight 20D RS Nylon outer fabric, wind resistant with mechanical stretch and PFAS-free DWR\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOctayarn warp-knit lining for exceptional insulation, breathability and comfort\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePatterning and Design\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eActive fit for complete freedom of movement with no excess fabric\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGusseted crotch for an unrestrictive fit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePockets\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 zipped hand pockets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 zipped thigh pocket\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWaist and Hem\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLow volume waistband with internal drawcord closure, sits comfortably under a pack or harness and works well with hard shells\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLow bulk hem with snow-shedding lining\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable width=\"100%\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 30%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 70%;\"\u003e210 g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 30%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOuter\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 70%;\"\u003e20D RS Nylon, wind resistant, mechanical stretch, PFAS-free DWR\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 30%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLining\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 70%;\"\u003eOctayarn warp-knit\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 30%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSizes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 70%;\"\u003e8, 10, 12, 14, 16\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 30%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLengths\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 70%;\"\u003eRegular\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIdeal For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlpine climbing and ski touring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCold weather mountaineering and high-altitude expeditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLong approaches and demanding pitches in winter conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUse as an insulating layer under hard or soft shell trousers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnology\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable width=\"100%\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 30%;\"\u003e\u003cimg style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1264\/3521\/files\/Octayarn_5a1c19a8-57bc-4d61-aa7b-bf2bb17d1053.jpg?v=1727675218\" alt=\"Octayarn active insulation fabric logo\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 70%; vertical-align: middle;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOctayarn\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOctayarn is a soft, wicking and warm fabric made from a unique cog-like fibre.
