Berghaus Extrem Vanguard GTX Pant Af Women's Hardshell Pants - Planet Purple, Size M

Conquer the most demanding alpine environments with the Berghaus Extrem Vanguard GTX Pant Af, a women's hardshell pant engineered for mountaineering, alpine climbing, and ski touring. Crafted from 3-layer GORE-TEX Pro fabric with a 70D nylon face, these pants deliver exceptional waterproofing (>28,000 mm HH) and breathability (RET < 6), ensuring you stay dry and comfortable during high-output activities. The Active Mountain Fit provides a close-to-body cut that moves with you, while articulated knees and seat offer unrestricted mobility on technical terrain.

Advantages

Built to withstand extreme conditions, the Vanguard GTX Pant features fully taped seams, YKK AquaGuard full-length side zips for easy ventilation and on/off over boots, and Schoeller Keprotec kick patches for durability against sharp edges and crampons. The elasticated waist with hook-and-loop tabs allows a secure, adjustable fit, and internal snow gaiters with gripper elastic keep snow out. Hem snap closures and drawcords let you fine-tune the fit over boots, while brace loops ensure compatibility with suspenders.
