Get outside in questionable weather. For multi-sport lives, these are a versatile layer to wear for winter riding, skiing, snowshoeing and anything that gets your heart rate boosted. They have wind-proof front panels and breathable fabric across the back. The overall matte finish keeps them from looking too techy. A softly brushed inner feels nice against your skin, a boon when the conditions start to get a little hostile.

- DWR finish sheds any light precip.
- Back panels are nylon and spandex with a soft brushed fleece interior.
- Internal drawcord at waist.
- Articulated knees provide a full range of movement.
- Reflective trim runs across the back of the thigh.
- Inseam is 28.75in.
- Zippers at ankles have reflective trim.
- Gripper elastic at ankle holds them in place.
