"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:""I’ve used these on long multi-pitch days, and the mobility is outstanding. The gusset and articulated knees really pay off when high-stepping or stemming. They breathe well in hot conditions, but the reinforcements still hold up when I’m scraping past rough granite.""We pull on the Ascendor Light Pants when hot, exposed terrain demands a balance of durability, breathability, and unhindered movement. Their ultralight Matrix™ fabric keeps the air flowing as we climb, hike, and scramble through shifting alpine conditions, while the slim fit stays out of the way on tight sequences. Even during long approaches, they move naturally and feel almost weightless. Once we’re on the wall, the climbing-focused design shows its purpose. A long gusset and articulated knees support high steps and wide stems, while the tapered lower leg helps us place our feet precisely without catching fabric. Reinforced kicker patches add confidence when edging against rock, and the harness-friendly pockets keep essentials within reach. On warm alpine missions where efficiency matters, the Ascendor Light Pants let us stay fully focused on the next hold."
