Our dream was to create stretch alpine shells that would match the new level of athleticism in the vertical arena. Stretch Triolet was the result: it redefines alpine gear for climbers and skiers. We put waterproof/breathable stretch panels in all the critical zones: elbows, shoulders, torso, seat and knees . The SHELLS have a clean, trim profile, and possess all the protective features you would expect of our serious mountaineering shells. The PANTS also have a gusseted crotch, fully sealed seams, built-in suspenders, full-length side zips with storm flaps, and pack cloth reinforcement at the lower leg inseams. The high, unconstructed waist layers well under a harness. Imported.
