Black Diamond W Alpine Hybrid Pants

Technical mountain pants for women who move fast between climbing approaches, scrambles, and exposed ridgelines, the Women's Alpine Hybrid Pants from Black Diamond are built on a 4-way stretch construction with EMPEL PFAS-free DWR bonded into the fabric at a molecular level for durable, persistent water repellency without fluorocarbon chemistry. Abrasion-resistant overlays at the knees and seat protect the highest-wear zones on rock contact and rappels without adding the stiffness of a separate shell layer. The 4-way stretch chassis handles the full kinetic range of technical movement, from high steps on rock to wide stances on snow, without binding at the hip or knee. The EMPEL treatment and reinforced paneling mark these as a true alpine movement pant rather than a softshell adapted for mountain use.
