They have been designed to be highly articulated, particularly in the knees, ensuring a full range of motion when out in the mountains and potentially climbing/scrambling in adverse conditions. Full length 2 way YKK zips with inner storm flaps make getting the trousers on/off a breeze when in boots. There is also a 2 way YKK front zip with storm flap for convenience. The braces are fully adjustable for optimal fit and also feature a dropped rear seat. The kick strips are reinforced for overall durability and for use when skiing. They also feature an internal gaiter to help mitigate snow and water ingress.
