In spring, the following weather pattern often occurs when ski touring or freeriding: While it is still cold, possibly windy and inhospitable in the morning, by midday you are sweating as it warms up and the sun shines. To defy these conditions, La Sportiva developed the Zagros GTX Pant M, a ski touring pant designed to protect against unpleasant wind and cold in the morning, while offering breathability and ventilation at higher temperatures. As this concept also works perfectly in practice, we have chosen these pants as our "Gear of the Week"
The pants feel very comfortable and light. Weighing just +/- 400 grams, you can hardly feel them on your skin. The ski trousers use GoreTex Active laminate, which combines high breathability with reliable protection against moisture and wind. The thin laminate layer enables optimum vapor permeability, which is particularly noticeable on sweaty ski tours in the midday heat. The ventilation option, which allows the trouser leg to be opened completely at the side, also ensures a comfortable fit, even in spring-like temperatures.
A quick-release fastener has been incorporated into the waistband to adjust the width, which works reliably and prevents the trousers from slipping.
