Mountain Equipment Lhotse Pant

The Mountain Equipment Lhotse Pant is the go-to choice for full weather protection without sacrificing mobility. Built with 3-layer GORE-TEX Pro 80D fabric featuring the latest ePE membrane and a PFAS-free DWR, these pants offer sustainable, high-performance waterproofing and windproofing. The Alpine fit, combined with articulated knees, ensures a full range of movement for technical climbs and long mountain days. Whether you're ascending mixed terrain or weathering a storm at high altitude, the Lhotse Pant delivers rugged reliability with lightweight performance. Made from 100% recycled polyamide shell with a tough polyamide backer, this is gear for serious mountain missions, offering comfort and protection in equal measure.

GORE-TEX is now a totally PFC free waterproof membrane designed by Gore to be more sustainable and cut out harmful long chain 'forever chemicals' found in normal PTFE waterproof membranes. The ePE membrane is a thinner than older GORE-TEX and GORE-TEX PRO, which results in a softer and more supple feel. It doesn't have the same stiff 'cardboardy' feel as older Gore membranes. The biggest performance difference you are most likely to notice is the DWR treatment. Unfortunately flurocarbons are some of the best, most hydrophobic chemicals out there. Getting rid of them does hit performance so you will notice that the nice 'beading' effect disappears quite quickly. Don't worry your GORE-TEX jacket is still waterproof, but to maintain the beading effect you will need to top up the DWR more regularly.

The Lhotse Pant is packed with features built for the mountains. 3/4 length YKK water-resistant side zips allow for quick and easy layering over mountaineering boots, while the integrated belt and double press-stud waist closure ensure a secure, adjustable fit. Reinforced kick strips provide extra durability against crampons and rough terrain, and brace attachment points keep everything secure on extended climbs. Two water-resistant zipped pockets keep essentials dry and close at hand, while an adjustable hem provides a snug fit around different boot types. At just 400g, these trousers combine lightweight efficiency with tough weather protection, making them ideal for year-round use in the most demanding alpine conditions.
