Whether skiing at the area or heading out for a week of glacier travel the all-purpose Arcteryx Beta AR Pant for Men is a perfect match for those who participate in year-round mountain sports. The three layer Gore-Tex® XCR® fabric is tough enough for negotiating granite walls and with the inclusion of Schoeller® Keprotec instep patches sharp ski edges and crampon points no longer pose a pant damaging threat. For climbers and trekkers the side zips stop below harness and hipbelt level for quick and easy access.
