For an essential hardshell pant that hits all the high-tech marks without a high asking price, we developed our Backcountry CrestCarverGORE-tex Shell Pant. The renowned Gore-tex ePE membrane and burly Kevlar-reinforced hems give this pair the best in waterproofing and the promise of a long product life cycle, while the mesh-lined vents bring season-long comfort. We also sourced an -conscious Pfas-free waterproof membrane and materials to keep our environmental impact light.
