Purpose-built for winter trekking, alpine climbing, and snow-covered backcountry missions, the Xen Softshell Pants offers rugged protection and dynamic mobility in harsh, cold environments. Made from a durable 4-way stretch double weave fabric with a 287gsm weight and Cordura® reinforcements, it delivers superior resistance to abrasion while allowing full freedom of movement across technical terrain.

Engineered with a water-resistant, wind-resistant, and breathable softshell, the Xen Pant keeps you comfortable and protected in snow, sleet, and icy winds. Thigh zip vents provide quick temperature regulation during intense ascents or warmer transitions, while a Cordura® boot guard shields high-wear zones from crampon scuffs and ski edges. The Xen softshell fabric provides exceptional breathability, wind resistance, and water shedding with a PFAS-free* DWR finish repelling light rain and snow, making it a more sustainable choice for the wild.
