Mountain Equipment says:
Fast drying, windproof and lightly insulated legwear for cold weather mountaineering.
Essential for cold weather climbing and mountaineering, Switch Pants work perfectly under waterproof or soft shell trousers yet are sufficiently wind resistant to be worn alone for load carries lower on a mountain or long approaches. Fast drying and exceptionally breathable they’re equally suitable in Scotland or the Himalaya.
