Mountain Equipment Tupilak GORE-TEX PRO Hardshell Pants for Alpinists/Ice Climbers

Mietprodukt

Maximum protection at minimum weight

When your adventure takes you into challenging winter terrain – whether ice climbing, mountaineering, or tackling steep north faces – you need hardshell pants that perform without compromise. These alpine pants are made for precisely such moments: where you need to trust your outdoor gear completely. They were developed for experienced alpinists who demand maximum freedom of movement, low weight, and absolute weather resistance in a single product.

Robust, waterproof, yet flexible

The 3-layer GORE-TEX PRO fabric with the new ePE membrane sets new standards in weather protection and durability. You're reliably protected from wind, rain, and snow – even under extreme conditions on the face of a mountain or on a ridge. At the same time, the pants remain breathable, ensuring your body temperature stays balanced even during strenuous ascents. Reinforced panels at the seat, hips, and leg openings provide additional abrasion resistance – ideal for contact with ice screws, crampons, or rock.

Optimized cut for technical terrain

The close-fitting design with pre-shaped knees allows for precise freedom of movement while climbing, trudging, or belaying. Full-length, two-way side zippers provide flexible ventilation and make it easy to put on and take off, even with crampons or bulky mountaineering boots. The partially elasticated waistband with adjustable straps keeps everything in place – even during alpine movements like heel hooks or leg spreads.
