The North Face Women's Impendor 2.5L Pant

The shell layer of your alpine adventure kit is your protective barrier against the elements. It has to keep you dry – which, in the long-term, also means keeping you warm. It has to allow moisture to escape; it needs to prevent wind from penetrating and it needs to be rugged enough to brush off encounters with rough rock. And that’s exactly what the Impendor Pants do.

Made using breathable, waterproof and windproof 2.5-layer DryVent technology that’s enhanced with durable Cordura and finished with a water repellent treatment, they’re shell pants you can rely on. They feature 3/4 zips (from hem to the mid-thigh) on both legs; all seams are fully taped for pliability and waterproofness and the hems are adjustable to fit over various boot styles.
