Designed for the high-cadence rhythm of the skin track, the Black Diamond Men's Dawn Patrol Pant is the definitive choice for long-form backcountry tours. While hardshells often feel restrictive and "swish" on the uphill, these four-way stretch softshell pants offer the silent, unrestricted mobility needed for deep kick turns and technical ridge scrambles. They are the "set-it-and-forget-it" layer for everything from cold January tours to warm spring objectives.
Built with a heavy-duty double-weave fabric, these pants strike the perfect balance between wind resistance and vapor permeability. The DWR finish sheds light spindrift, while the unlined interior prevents overheating during high-output efforts. We’ve integrated articulated knees and hips to ensure that whether you're skinning uphill or charging downhill, your gear never limits your range of motion.
