Salewa Ortles DST/WS pantalón de alpinismo mujer - negro M

Engineered with a PFC-free DURASTRETCH fabric that delivers 4-way stretch and exceptional abrasion resistance, the Salewa Ortles DST/WS Pants are built for demanding alpine missions. The STORMWALL insert adds wind resistance and water repellency while maintaining breathability, and KEVLAR LIGHT reinforcements protect high-wear zones. An athletic, slim fit with side ventilation zippers and ski-boot-compatible cuffs makes these pants a versatile choice for mountaineering, ski touring, and ice climbing.

Overview

Designed for female alpinists who demand performance without compromise, these pants combine three advanced fabrics to handle variable mountain conditions. The main DURASTRETCH material offers freedom of movement, while the STORMWALL softshell panels shield against wind and light precipitation. KEVLAR LIGHT inserts at the leg cuffs and lower legs provide outstanding durability against crampon snags and rock abrasion. A flat, adjustable waistband with hook-and-loop closure ensures a secure fit under a harness, and three zippered pockets keep essentials accessible.
