The Ortovox Women's 3L Ortler Pants are precision-engineered for alpinists who require dependable protection in extreme mountain environments. Built as part of Ortovox’s Merino Naked Sheep line, these hardshell pants focus on alpine essentials: lightweight design, superior protection, and exceptional comfort. These robust pants combine innovative materials with practical features, making them indispensable for challenging alpine climbs and snowy summits.
At the heart of these pants is the Dermizax® NX membrane by Toray, Ortovox’s highest-performance membrane. This fabric guarantees windproof and waterproof performance, rated at a minimum 20,000 mm water column, and outstanding breathability up to 28,000 g/m²/24h. This ensures moisture from within is effectively managed while blocking harsh elements, keeping you comfortable and dry throughout demanding alpine pursuits. The fabric is also treated with a PFC-free DWR finish, allowing water and dirt to bead off, minimizing external moisture exposure without harmful chemicals.
Thoughtful features make the 3L Ortler Pants an ideal choice for variable alpine terrain. Full-length, 2-way side zippers allow for rapid ventilation and easy on/off, even over boots or crampons. The adjustable integrated gaiters keep snow and debris out, while Cordura® Dyneema® reinforcements provide protection against sharp ski edges and rugged surfaces. The adjustable waistband offers a customized fit and is lined with Merino wool inserts for moisture-wicking comfort, ensuring no chafing or discomfort even during high-intensity climbs.
An extended thigh pocket is equipped with a secure, lightweight carabiner to safeguard essential gear like an avalanche transceiver, while an anatomically shaped knee design ensures unrestricted movement. The pants are also compatible with Ortovox suspenders (optional), allowing you to adjust the fit for added stability.
