La Sportiva West Crest Pant - Men's Black/Savana, XL

"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:""I took the West Crest Pant on a four-day high-route traverse and they held up better than anything else I have tested at that distance. The integrated belt and perforated waistband kept the fit dialed even as my pack weight changed throughout the trip, and the back pocket stow pouch made packing down at camp genuinely fast. These are the pants I reach for when the mileage is serious.""Day three on a high route and the terrain has thrown everything at you, loose talus, steep switchbacks, exposed traverses, and long flat valley crossings. The La Sportiva West Crest Pant is built to handle all of it without complaint, a technical hiking pant designed around the demands of multi-day trekking where every piece of kit needs to justify its place in the pack. La Sportiva constructed these pants from a recycled polyamide and elastane blend that delivers genuine stretch alongside durability, so freedom of movement never comes at the expense of longevity on rugged terrain. The perforated internal elastic waistband pairs with an integrated belt and snap button closure for a fit that stays precise across a full day of varied movement and shifting pack weight. Cuffs with elastic drawcords seal against wind and debris on exposed ridgelines, and a trouser-to-shoe hook keeps the leg length consistent regardless of what the trail demands. Four zippered pockets keep valuables secure through technical sections, and the back pocket doubles as a stow pouch so the pant packs down fast when conditions change or the summit is finally in reach."
