Why choose it

The Torque pants strike the perfect balance between weather protection and mobility. The double weave fabric is wind resistant and quick drying, making them ideal for changeable mountain conditions. The stretch allows unrestricted movement on technical terrain, while the reinforced ankles stand up to crampon grazes and rocky abrasion.

• Hiking and trekking in spring, summer, and autumn
• Rock climbing and scrambling
• Everyday outdoor wear in cool, breezy weather
