Lightweight protection for technical alpine movement

The Mountain Equipment Comici Pants are lightweight soft shell climbing trousers engineered for climbers, scramblers and fast-moving mountain users who need unrestricted mobility and dependable weather resistance. Built from EXOLITE 125 stretch double-weave soft shell fabric with a PFAS-free durable water-repellent (DWR) finish, they provide breathable protection from wind, light rain and snow spray while drying quickly after demanding approaches. Designed for alpine climbing, multi-pitch rock routes and technical scrambling, they combine a slim Active fit with climbing-specific features that work comfortably alongside a harness.

Performance & Engineering

• EXOLITE 125 Soft Shell Fabric – Engineered with EXOLITE 125 stretch double-weave soft shell fabric to deliver breathable weather protection, rapid drying performance and unrestricted stretch when moving quickly across technical terrain.
• PFAS-Free DWR Protection – Built with a PFAS-free durable water-repellent finish that sheds light rain, snow spray and surface moisture, helping the fabric remain drier during changeable mountain conditions.
• Active Fit for Climbing Precision – Designed with an Active fit and slim-fit ankle to reduce excess fabric around the lower leg, improving visibility of foot placements on steep rock and exposed scrambles.
• Harness-Compatible Storage – Combines two zipped hand pockets, a zipped rear pocket and a mesh-lined zipped thigh pocket, allowing secure storage and easier access to essentials while wearing a harness.
