Patagonia's warmest, wind and water resistant climbing soft-shell pants with stretch and outstanding breathability. Includes 3 point removable suspenders, microfleece lined waistband and articulated knees. The product is also recyclable through Patagonia's Common Threads Recycling Programme.

The Icefields Parkway has world-class ice climbing; it will also make any climber appreciate our newest insulated soft-shell pants. Speed Ascents are also our warmest, with an engineered design that maximizes breathability without sacrificing any of your hard-earned heat. This garment has a Slim Fit.

The durable stretch-woven shell (5.3-oz 100% polyester double weave that's 45% recycled) blocks wind and sheds water while accommodating your every high-step and delicate mixed move. Inside, low-bulk R2® (7.4-oz Polartec® Thermal Pro® polyester that's 40% recycled) warms and won't bunch up; it's welded to the shell along key seams and optimizes breathability and wicking.

What else? Stitch-free seams speed dry time, improve water-resistance, and decrease bulk. The snap waist, with a relief-friendly 2-way zippered fly, has belt loops and four-point removable suspenders. Water-resistant zippers close the two handwarmer pockets and right thigh pocket. With articulated knees and gusseted, zippered cuffs (with edge guards) made for a climbing boot fit.
