Waterproof trousers that go on over boots and crampons. The Outdoor Research Men's Headwall Gore-Tex 3L Pant uses GORE-TEX® three-layer construction to put a fully seam-taped, weatherproof barrier between you and harsh alpine weather, built for technical climbing and skiing.

Full-length side zips mean you can pull them on at the bottom of the route without taking your boots off, and vent them wide open on the walk out. The ankles are reinforced with puncture-resistant Kevlar scuff guards, so a careless crampon point or ski edge won't end the day. A dedicated beacon pocket keeps your transceiver where it should be on a ski tour. At 502g they're a full winter shell trouser rather than a lightweight overtrouser.

Choose the Headwall Pant when you're climbing or skiing in weather that would soak a softshell, and you want a trouser that will survive sharp things.
