WORKWEAR
The Obsidian offers the ultra-light option for extreme weather. Designed as a super packable option with full-length side zippers so you can slip them on quickly over your boots when the weather takes an unexpected turn for the worst.
The Obsidian Pants Womens pack down incredibly small and weigh next to nothing, so you will barely notice they're sitting in the bottom of your pack. But when they're needed, they are extremely waterproof and breathable, just like your traditionally heavier and bulkier work-horse rain layer. Unlike a lot of back-up style rain-wear, the Obsidian was designed with all the important features you still need including an athletic cut and key pockets. These pants pack down tiny into their own thigh pocket when not in use so they can disappear into the bottom of your pack.

Measure Up
Lay your favourite pants flat on a solid, even surface. Measure the 1/2 waist across the top of the waistband, and the inseam from the crotch to the bottom of the leg. Compare these measurements to the size chart to find your best fit.
These are the measurements of the garment, not the person wearing the garment.
Please note measurements can vary within 1cm. This is within our tolerance.
