Patagonia Men's Northwall Pants

Patagonia Men's Northwall Pants

Patagonia's premier soft shell pants for the coldest conditions; built with a Regulator® high-loft grid interior and Polartec® Power Shield® Pro for maximum protection and optimal breathability on long routes in big mountains. Regular fit A state-of-the-art fabric package in a longtime alpine-favorite design: Northwall Pants combine the best of the old and the new. Their exclusive insulation-shell combo fabric bonds the extremely weather-repellent Polartec® Power Shield® Pro - functionally waterproof in all but a deluge, but as breathable as a traditional soft shell - to our toasty Regulator® R2® grid interior. Sonic-welded seams reinforced with micro-stitching (patent pending) reduce seam bulk and weight while optimizing strength, and the minimalist design features a single zippered thigh pocket and a clean waist that doesn't interfere with a harness: The separating waistband has a 2-way zippered fly, and the suspenders are configured to allow the upper-thigh side zips to open into a drop seat (no bulky elastic or belt loops). Articulated seat and knees enable mobility, scuff guards protect the lower leg and bottom cuffs have tie-down loops.

POLARTEC® : THERMAL FABRICS The primary insulation layer among experienced outdoor enthusiasts for nearly two decades, Polartec® fabrics are available in a variety of unique textures and weights designed specifically to enhance performance in a variety of environs.

Polartec® Power Shield® Polartec® Power Shield® fabrics feature a smooth, tightly woven face for abrasion resistance without the stiffness and noise of a traditional hard shell. A polyester velour back traps air and provides a high warmth-to-weight ratio. All Polartec® Power Shield® fabrics are finished with a Durable Water Repellent (DWR) to shed rain and snow. All versions feature spandex or mechanical stretch for freedom of movement. Garments made from Polartec® Power Shield® fabrics are designed to replace traditional fleece and shell systems for most outdoor clothing applications, reducing the weight and number of layers needed to insulate and protect. They are ideal for skiing, snowboarding, climbing and backcountry trekking. They are used in jackets, pants, bibs, hats and gloves. It's outerwear that gets worn, not carried in a pack. Benefits Blocks 98% of the wind Highly breathable Water repellent Extremely abrasion resistant Less noise than a hardshell Stretch for active comfort Warmth without weight Machine washable
