Patagonia: Women's Rubicon Pants

These are stripped-down, superlight backcountry hard shells for big-mountain steeps. They're also soft and packable - and provide waterproof/breathable protection in unpredictable conditions. The upper legs of the pants are lined with a brushed grid mesh that moves moisture and glides snag-free over layers. Full-featured gaiters with gripper elastic, cam buckles and stretch panels stay put, even when you're post-holing. Steam-releasing thigh vents and handy thigh pockets are accessible under pack straps or harness. The women's pants are cut with a feminine silhouette for total mobility. Imported. H2No® Storm is Patagonia's waterproof/breathable barrier. More of a classification than a specific technology, shells with H2No Storm utilize a range of laminates and coatings made from varying applications of polyester and/or polyurethane to achieve a standard of waterproofness and breathability that's best suited for a specified performance range.
