Montane Mens Astro Ascent eVent Waterproof Trousers are excellent as mountain and trail trousers worn as overtrousers or on their own to protect your legs from rain, snow, ice and the cold of a high-altitude hike.

The design of these trousers takes protection seriously but also offers convenience. Thus, there are side zips for ease of pulling trousers on over boots but they have storm flaps and poppers behind them and a Velcro tab ankle adjustment for a closer fit and to retain body warmth.

The are also breathable to allow moisture to disperse into the atmosphere from the surface of your skin for increased comfort during energetic activity.

Although Montane Astro Ascent eVent Waterproof Trousers can be worn over other trousers when needed, they still have a tailored rear and upper thigh area so there is not an excessive bulk of material and in addition the trousers feature articulated knees and an active cut to assist in the high step movement that will be very advantageous on mountain landscapes.
