Black Diamond Pursuit Pants - heren technische shellbroek, zwart, maat M

High on a windswept alpine ridge, as clouds roll in and the temperature drops, you pull on the Black Diamond Pursuit Pants and keep moving. These men's technical shell pants are built for demanding conditions, offering exceptional waterproof protection and breathability without weighing you down. The GORE-TEX Paclite Plus 3L fabric, with a 30D nylon plain-weave face, delivers a 28,000 mm waterproof rating and RET < 9 breathability, keeping you dry from both rain and sweat. Fully taped seams and YKK AquaGuard zippers seal out moisture, while full-length side zippers allow quick ventilation and easy on/off over boots. An integrated webbing belt ensures a secure fit, and the articulated knees provide unrestricted mobility for climbing and skiing. With a single zippered thigh pocket for essentials and drawcord cuffs to seal out spindrift, these pants are a versatile layer for alpine climbing, mountaineering, ski touring, and backpacking. At just 340 g (size M), they pack down small but perform big.
