GORE-TEX Pro 80D Protection

The Mountain Equipment Tupilak Pant uses 3-layer GORE-TEX Pro 80D fabric throughout the garment. This technical hard shell construction is designed to provide dependable protection for alpinists and winter climbers working in demanding mountain conditions.

The durable fabric is also designed to withstand abrasion encountered during technical climbing, including contact with rough rock and ice-covered terrain.

Alpine Fit and Articulated Knees

An alpine fit combined with articulated knees provides a technical shape designed around climbing movement. The construction allows greater freedom of movement while working on steep or technical terrain, helping you stay mobile without sacrificing the protective benefits of a hard shell pant.

Ice Screw Protection Overlay

A bonded ice screw protection overlay adds reinforcement in an area exposed to climbing equipment. This construction helps protect the fabric from cuts and abrasion when carrying and using ice screws during winter climbing.

Full-Length Aquaguard® Side Zips

The pants feature full-length 2-way YKK® moulded Aquaguard® side zips. These provide convenient access and ventilation options while also supporting easier dressing and removal when wearing additional layers or footwear.

Adjustable Braces and Drop Seat

Fully adjustable braces help provide a secure and adaptable fit, while the drop-seat design adds practical convenience for use in the mountains. The semi-elasticated waist further contributes to a comfortable and adaptable fit during active movement.

Snow Gaiters and Reinforced Kick Strips

Zip-out internal snow gaiters help provide additional protection in snowy conditions. Bonded reinforced kick strips add durability around the lower legs, helping protect these high-wear areas during demanding alpine and winter climbing activities.

Technical Design for Winter Climbing

The Mountain Equipment Tupilak Pant brings together durable GORE-TEX Pro construction, climbing-specific articulation, reinforced protection zones, adjustable braces, and practical full-length side zips. It is designed for climbers who need dependable hard shell protection and mobility when conditions become severe.
