The Ortovox Westalpen 3L Pants Men are hardshell ski trousers designed to keep you protected during winter mountain adventures. They form part of Ortovox’s outdoor clothing collection for men, offering a solid outer layer against wind, snow, and cold.
These pants use a three-layer shell construction that integrates fabric, waterproof membrane, and lining into one durable package. The regular fit leaves enough room for insulation layers, while the 662 g weight keeps them light enough for long tours without feeling cumbersome. This build aims to balance robust weather defence with the comfort and mobility needed in dynamic alpine conditions.
A 20,000 mm water column rating classifies the fabric as extremely waterproof, meaning it can withstand heavy snow or downpours without leakage. The three-layer design also boosts breathability by allowing moisture from inside to escape, which helps prevent dampness from sweat during active use.
