Mission Alpine Shell Pant - Men's

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"I've worn a lot of alpine pants and the thing that stands out here is how the two fabric zones work together. The stretch panels give you full range on technical moves and the ripstop reinforcement around the waist and pockets means you're not babying them on the rock. The PFAS-free DWR holds up on mixed weather days, and the harness-compatible pockets are a detail that actually matters when you're racked up and moving. These fit the way a climbing pant should."

There's a version of the alpine pant that makes you choose between moving well and lasting long. The Black Diamond Mission Alpine Shell Pant is not that pant. Two fabric zones handle the job together: a four-way stretch shell that gives on every move, and a reinforced ripstop woven into the waist and pocket zones where wear accumulates fastest.

On route, the harness-compatible zip front pockets keep essentials reachable without fighting your gear. The zip thigh pocket adds one more secure option when you need it. Articulated knees and a gusseted inseam mean nothing binds on high steps or stems. The PFAS-free DWR finish handles the weather windows you didn't plan for, and cordlock adjustable hems let you fine-tune fit over boots or approach shoes without stopping. This is a pant built around how climbing actually goes.
