Lower Body Layering should consist of 4 layers: underwear, baselayer, insulation and hard shell. They function as a system; the same as your upper body layers. \r\n\r\nOur favorite insulation layer is a soft shell climbing pant because we love softshell features: breathability, light wind and weather protection, and freedom of movement thanks to four-way stretch fabric. \r\n\r\nMake sure your hard shell pants have full side or 7/8 zips. This will make it easier to get them on quickly over your climbing boots and crampons when the weather\'s nuking. \r\n
