Patagonia M10 Storm Pants
An ambassador-lead design innovation for moving fast and light in the harshest mountain conditions, these lightweight, supple, 3-layer waterproof M10 Storm Pants from Patagonia are, in the words of Kelly Cordes, one of their pickiest product testers, "Hands down, easily, by a million miles, the best alpine pants I've ever worn."
Constructed using a lightweight H2No Performance Standard shell with 100% recycled Nylon ripstop fabric, the Patagonia M10 Storm Pants have been designed to keep you dry whilst a slick jersey backer enhances freedom of movement and glides on over other layers. A DWR (durable water-repellent) finish sheds light rain for added wet weather protection and is made without perfluorinated chemicals. Working together, Patagonia's ambassadors and design team developed the M10 Storm Pants to be the least restrictive hard-shell pants that any of the ambassadors had climbed in yet. With a unique 4-Point Gusset and knee articulation, they provide total freedom of movement when stepping or stemming whilst ensuring you are kept feeling dry. A low-profile waist is elasticised and designed for wear with a harness whilst also preventing restrictions at the hips and thighs. The waist is complete with an offset zip fly. Featuring a regular fit, the waterproof alpine pants utilise a tapered leg construction and elasticised cuffs with tie-down loops for spotting foot placements. Lastly, the Patagonia M10 Storm Pants are finished with a secure, zippered right-thigh pocket and a concealed RECCO reflector.
