FREDD MARSHALL Men's Windproof Softshell Hiking Pants — 4-Way Stretch DWR Trousers
The Men's Windproof Softshell Hiking Pants are built for cool-weather trails and shoulder-season conditions. A bonded softshell with a DWR finish blocks wind and sheds light rain while retaining warmth, and 4-way stretch construction keeps movement free on climbs and descents. A slightly warmer hand than a standard hiking pant makes these a good choice as temperatures drop.
