Arc'Teryx chooses face fabrics that maximize water, oil and soil repellency and abrasion resistance, to offer best initial barrier to the elements. Although slightly stiffer initially (only before washing) they will continue to shed water/snow/contaminants long after other fabrics have become fuzzy, spongy traps to moisture, soil, and oil. To maximize comfortable moisture management in garments, care must be taken to keep them as clean as possible. A soiled outer surface will not allow the 3-layer membrane package to breath properly. The membrane will be unaffected but moisture can be trapped in the garment leaving the user feeling wet. Specifications based on size M. Imported

Untitled ReviewThey are incredibly light & compact. They are very easy to get in & out of with boots on. The waterproof zippers everywhere are great, and there is no velcro to get in the way. The full zip crotch means you can keep your harness & all your gear on when nature calls. They fit better than any others I tried on. They make a huge difference from the old pair I was using before. Definitely a worthwhile investment.
