Black Diamond Alpine Light Pants Women's Hiking Trousers Black Medium

Long approaches and alpine starts demand a pant that moves with you, not against you. The Black Diamond Alpine Light Pants for women solve the problem of restrictive, heavy hiking trousers by combining a slim, articulated fit with four-way stretch fabric that never binds, even on high steps and stemming moves. The Schoeller® stretch-woven nylon sheds light precipitation and dries in minutes, while the integrated belt keeps them secure under a harness or pack. At just 280 grams, they disappear on your legs but deliver full protection from wind, brush, and UV rays—so you can focus on the route, not your gear.

Who is it for

These pants are built for female hikers, trekkers, and alpine climbers who want one do-it-all softshell pant for three-season missions. If you value freedom of movement, quick-drying performance, and a clean, athletic silhouette that works from trailhead to summit, the Alpine Light Pants are your go-to. They're equally at home on multi-day backpacking trips, scrambly approaches, and cool-weather rock climbs.

Tips

For best results, wash these pants in cold water with a mild detergent and tumble dry low to reactivate the DWR coating. Avoid fabric softeners, which can clog the breathable membrane. Pair them with a lightweight base layer for cooler conditions, or wear them alone in mild weather. The slim fit is true to size; if you prefer extra room for layering, consider sizing up.
