Vaude Monviso Alpine Pants

The requirements for women's softshell pants for ski touring are high: they must protect against wind and weather, be breathable, and robust enough to withstand alpine terrain. The Monviso women's softshell pants achieve this balance with excellence. The water-repellent impregnated material is 100 percent windproof thanks to the membrane and allows for complete freedom of movement due to the elastane content. When needed, long ventilation zippers backed with mesh provide cooling and ventilation without letting in snow. The women's softshell pants are also fully suitable for alpine use: abrasion-resistant reinforcements protect the leg openings from contact with rocks and sharp ski edges or crampons; the inner gaiter keeps ice and snow out. The flat waistband can be comfortably adjusted without steps using a Velcro closure – this prevents uncomfortable pressure points when wearing a climbing harness. The diagonally placed side pockets are easily accessible at all times. An additional thigh pocket offers space for an avalanche transceiver, smartphone, topo map, or hat.
