Stratos VI Racing Pants Women's

Wore these for a full day of skinning and never once felt restricted on the climbs. The breathability really holds up when you're working hard, and they pack down small enough to shove in a pack. Easily my favorite touring bottoms now.

The stretch fabric is genuinely a game-changer—I barely noticed them during a brutal interval session, and zero chafing even when I was drenched. They pack down to almost nothing in my bag, which makes them my go-to for alpine starts.

Wore these for a full day of uphill laps and they never felt heavy or clingy, even when the sun came out. The stretch fabric moves like a second skin when you’re lunging into each stride, and I forgot I had them on by the third run.
