Outdoor Research Men’s Cirque Lite Hiking Pants

Alpine-Ready Performance Pants
Engineered for dynamic 3-season climbs, the Cirque Lite Pants combine bluesign® eco-conscious materials with military-grade DuraPrint™ reinforcement to tackle rugged terrain without bulk. Ideal for fast-and-light alpine objectives where weather shifts demand adaptable protection.

Why This Outperforms Competitors
– 360° Mobility: Articulated knees mimic natural stride angles while gusseted crotches eliminate fabric drag during technical ascents or scramble descents
– Proven Durability: Scuff guards at high-wear zones (ankles & seat) use abrasion-resistant DuraPrint™ printing that outlasts standard coatings by 300%
– Climate Control*: 4-way stretch nylon/spandex matrix wicks moisture at 2x the rate of standard polyester while maintaining windproof integrity

Adventure-Specific Features
✓ Expandable lower leg gusset accommodates crampons without sagging
✓ Instep stirrup loops secure pants during technical ice climbs
✓ Dual-layer waistband adjusts silently during route transitions
✓ Zippered thigh pocket keeps maps/dry gloves accessible even with pack straps

Technical Specifications
• Water Resistance: 5000mm HH (equivalent to sudden afternoon monsoons)
• Windproof Threshold: 30mph gust protection
• Weight Efficiency: 12oz pair – 20% lighter than comparable alpine models

*Lab-tested abrasion cycles vs standard PU coatings

Built specifically for alpine objectives where every gram counts but protection cannot be compromised – these are your new standard issue climbing pants.
