Born from the rugged determination of mountaineering's early explorers, the Ascent Trouser reimagines peak performance for modern adventurers. Precision-crafted Swiss Schoeller fabric merges weather-resistant wool with adaptive climate control technology, creating armor against nature's mood swings. The secret? A dynamic 2-layer system with aerogel-infused Primaloft Gold Thermal Core that laughs at 60mph winds while maintaining breathability when the sun breaks through.
These aren't just stormproof pants - they're a time machine connecting today's climbers to 19th-century pioneers. Reinforced stress points mirror vintage expedition gear, yet move like your favorite broken-in chinos. That 20k/20k rating means business: impervious to 20-meter water columns and 20-hour downpours, whether you're ice climbing couloirs or waiting out squalls in basecamp. Hidden stretch panels and articulated knees give you full range to tackle exposed ridges, while discreet security pockets keep essentials locked down during technical moves.
For those who measure adventures in vertical meters rather than Instagram likes, this is your second skin. The wool blend naturally resists odors during multi-day pushes, while the C-Change membrane automatically adjusts to your exertion level. No more sweating through ascents or freezing on belay - just pure mountain focus. Tested on Patagonian tempests and Alpine faces, these trousers bridge heritage craftsmanship with space-age textiles, proving some legends only get better with time.
