Mountain Hardwear

Mixaction Pant - Men's

The idea behind the Mountain Hardwear Mixaction Pant is simple—a minimal, climb-specific pant made with only the finest materials possible and designed in collaboration with top ice-climbing athletes. The tough softshell main body fabric stretches to allow an unlimited range of motion, and it also breathes well to let sweat vapor escape while you climb. This eliminates the moist, clammy feeling that shell pants give you. The softshell main body is reinforced with a panel of double-weave ripstop with Dry Q Elite technology in the seat for maximum durability and waterproof protection.

To say that the Mixaction is entirely minimalist is inaccurate. Mountain Hardwear added kick patches at the inner calves for protection from crampons. These kick patches extend almost to the knee. It then lowered the hand pockets to make them harness-friendly. Side zips allow for easy ventilation, and articulated knees improve your mobility. Finally, it added an elasticized waist with a built-in, adjustable nylon built for a design that has become a staple for any good pair of climbing pants.
