Why We Love the Excelsior Pant
When we're embarking on a long tour, the La Sportiva Excelsior Pant is our go-to choice. This exceptional soft-shell pant offers a remarkable 4-way stretch and gusseted crotch, promoting powerful and precise movement during our ascent. At the summit, the adjustable snow gaiter ensures our socks stay dry, while the convenient large side vents can be quickly zipped up for our descent.
Product Details
The Excelsior Pant is specifically designed for high-output tours in the high alpine. Its innovative 4-way stretch fabric not only delivers a natural stride but also provides excellent water-resistance. To combat excess heat during intense climbs, the pant features large mesh-lined side vents that efficiently dump heat. For added convenience, the pant offers multiple pockets to securely store your essentials throughout the day. Additionally, the articulated knees and gusseted crotch further enhance freedom of movement. The reinforced bottom hem ensures long-lasting durability, and the snow gaiter keeps your socks dry even in deep snow.
