Black Diamond Dawn Patrol Pants Women's - Black/Black, Size M

The Black Diamond Dawn Patrol Pants are a women's softshell pant designed for high-output winter activities such as ski touring, mountaineering, and ice climbing. Crafted from a durable Schoeller® stretch-woven softshell fabric (93% Nylon, 7% Elastane), these pants offer 4-way stretch, wind resistance, and a PFC-free DWR finish for reliable weather protection. The athletic fit and articulated knees provide excellent mobility, while features like zippered vents, reinforced instep patches, and integrated snow gaiters ensure comfort and durability on the mountain.

Advantages

These pants combine breathability, stretch, and weather resistance for all-day comfort during demanding ascents and descents.
