Mountain Hardwear Gore Windstopper Tech Pants

marmot-pants.JPGMountain Hardwear Gore Windstopper Tech Pants – The ultimate backcountry pants.

I never knew a pair of pants could actually be worth a $180 bucks. However, the Mountain Hardwear Gore Windstopper Tech Pants are well worth the chunk of change they’ll set you back. Made from top of the line materials and designed for a number of backcountry conditions and activities, the Mountain Hardwear Gore Windstopper Tech Pants can handle them all.

The tough Mountain Hardwear Gore Windstopper Tech Pants use a Gore windstopper fleece to provide you with outstanding breath ability and comfort. To give you this ultimate windproof protection, the Mountain Hardwear Gore Windstopper Tech Pants have a membrane that is laminated between a mesh liner and micro-fleece shell for non-pilling protection.

Definitely made with the back country wearer in mind, the Mountain Hardwear Gore Windstopper Tech Pants have plenty of features to make them extremely usable. The adjustable velcro closure cuffs work to keep out the dirt and debris from the trail. The veclro waist flaps work to keep the pants secure while being worn or while venting.

Ever since I tried on the Mountain Hardwear Gore Windstopper Tech Pants, I fell in love with them. Not only do they work as well as described, I think they work better. I have even been known to wear these on the river while rafting on breezy or chilly days.
