MONTANE Astro Ascent Pants

Whilst climbing, protecting your legs from ice, rain and the cold can be critical. Legs have more direct contact with snow and spray than the upper body so ensuring weatherproof protection is essential. The Astro Ascent Trousers are constructed from highly breathable eVent Hurricane fabric and reinforced in critical areas with DIAMOND FACE; which provides dependable extra durability and protection from rock scrapes and ankle knocks. These trousers have a slim tailored fit, reducing excess fabric when worn as an overtrouser and feature ‘high step’ articulation built into the knees to ensure they are comfortable across a range of dynamic movements. They also feature full length YKK Aqua Guard side zips for full mountain functionality.
