The venerable Gamma LT Pant from Arc'teryx is one of their most popular and versatile softshell pants, and is now called the Gamma Pants. Perfect as the next thing to throw on when wearing shorts just isn't enough. These pants are made from a tough stretch woven nylon blend fabric. Great for slightly cool approach hikes, to give you some abrasion protection while rock climbing, and suitable for many glacier mountaineering outings. The simple leg design is perfect for rolling up to just below your knees like mountain knickers to help with temperature control.
