Whoever thinks snow is white hasn't been in the mountains from dawn through dusk. We've seen snow morph from orange to blue in an earthbound sunset. And on those days the Isis Nanda Devi is the best companion. Microfleece lining keeps you warm when the sun drops and a durable nylon face fabric with DWR finish keeps you dry. Technical details include articulated knees to accommodate knee pads a contoured zippered cargo pocket internal gaiters with gripper elastic that fit (and stay) over ski boots and a Kevlar scuff guard to ward off rocks and ski edges. In the Nanda Devi your mountain curfew will be extended.
