Lightweight Convertible Hiking Shorts for Men – Outdoor Research Cirque Lite

Cirque Lite Pants – High-Performance Alpine Climbing Trousers for Fast & Light Adventures

Engineered for peak performance in variable mountain conditions, the Cirque Lite Pants combine bluesign® certified sustainable fabrics with DuraPrint™ abrasion-resistant technology, delivering unmatched durability and stretch for alpine climbers and fast-moving adventurers.

Built with a 90D nylon-spandex double-weave fabric, these lightweight yet rugged pants move with your body, offering full-range mobility through articulated knees and a gusseted crotch. The wind-resistant, water-repellent fabric keeps you comfortable during unpredictable weather, while strategic DuraPrint™ reinforcements protect high-wear zones like cuffs and scuff points—ideal for scrambling, climbing, or long approaches.

Key features include an integrated adjustable belt for a secure fit, zippered hand pockets, and a thigh pocket for quick-access essentials. The slim lower leg with a zippered gusset accommodates boots or crampons, and instep loops prevent ride-up during technical movements.

Weighing just 14.1 oz (400g), these 3-season alpine pants balance breathability and resilience—perfect for spring through fall missions where agility and protection matter. Whether tackling rock faces or high-altitude traverses, the Cirque Lite Pants are designed to outperform with eco-conscious durability.
