For all-day tours and day-in, day-out backcountry use, the Black Diamond Dawn Patrol Pants are breathable enough to move with you and durable enough to make the journey. Designed with four-way stretch, double weave softshell fabric with a DWR finish, the Dawn Patrol Pants provide high-level breathability and mobility while remaining highly durable. Providing superior temperature control on the uphill, mesh-backed vents cool you down while keeping unforeseen flurries out. New, we added full separating side zips with integrated snow gaiters for easy boot boot-access and protection, while reinforced instep patches protect against sharp ski edges and crampon points.
