Are mountains in the picture? The Falketind Flex1 snow pants are your most optimal partner then. Designed specifically for mountaineering and similar activities with high intensity, this gear has the ability to become your companion for at least a few years. They fit perfectly into the softshell category as they include Polyamide, Bamboo, and Elastane with no trace of the lining. This means that you will be kept warm without feeling an occasional need to dump excess heat. Although there is no particular waterproof coating present on the outer fabric, they are still considered to have a surprisingly high level of water repellency and wind resistance. Furthermore, you won’t be restricted in your movements when climbing up high due to the articulated knees and a slim fit that these pants provide. The barrier against the snow is executed by the gaiter hooks located on the inside of the pants and a snap tightening on the ankles. By and large, there is nothing hindering your best performance in the mountains when these pants are on the plate.
