In response to requests from many of our Ambassadors, the standard cut of the Valhalla Pants provides a roomy fit when breaking trail and linking turns through bottomless snow. The GORE WINDSTOPPER soft shell fabric is windproof, water resistant and highly breathable, allowing perspiration and excess heat to escape while setting the skin track and fending off wind and snow on the descent. Zippered thigh vents help dump hot air on long ascents.
