Women's Cirque Lite Pant-Short

About this find

The Women's Cirque Lite Pant-Short from Outdoor Research is made for people who move fast and light on alpine objectives. It is made from a bluesign® approved nylon and spandex 90D double stretch weave. The fabric is breathable and offers movement-mirroring articulation, so it follows the natural motions of your body as you climb.

Several construction details focus on mobility. A gusseted crotch and articulated knees give your legs extra room to reach, step up and bend. The integrated adjustable belt lets you set a comfortable, custom fit at the waist, so the fit can be tuned to you before you head out.

The weave is wind and water-resistant, which helps when mountain weather changes. DuraPrint™ technology is placed in strategic spots to boost durability for long days in the mountains. Check the belt before a big climb, because a fit you set at the trailhead is easier than adjusting mid-route.

The Cirque Lite Pant line is the 3-season alpine option in the Outdoor Research collection. It is made for long trad routes, summit attempts and sunny glacier travel. If your plans involve moving quickly over varied terrain with a light pack, these shorts are built around those objectives, with room to move included.
