The Whisper Pants are water and windproof shell pants designed for year-round use. Thanks to a durable stretch weave, they are silent. The Whisper Pants are perfect for hiking during rainy summer days and as alpine pants during wintertime. The zippers in the leg opening are made to fit snug over your hiking boots when closed and to fit over alpine boots when opened. They have two hand pockets with water-resistant zipper closings. Use them as a weatherproof outer layer year-round.
