Light, stretchy, and cut like your favourite jeans, these are an easy win for hill days, warm scrambles, or just travelling light.Montane says:Designed for year-round performance, the Montane women’s Genoa Lite pants are 5-pocket jeans re-imagined for a life outside.Made from breathable GRANITE softshell, and weighing only 300g, they are water repellent and wind resistant with 4-way stretch to give you ultimate freedom of movement and comfort while climbing, hiking, or in downtime between activities.Built for the journey, these quick dry trousers are finished with a fluorocarbon-free DWR coating to protect you from light rainfall.Our VerdictThe Montane Genoa Lite Pants feel soft and casual while still functioning like proper mountain trousers. At 298g (UK size 12), they offer a solid mix of breathability and movement, and the four-way stretch is especially noticeable when stepping high or moving fast. Thanks to the PFC-free DWR, the fabric dries quickly and handles wind and light showers well.They sit mid-rise and move with you without restriction. I like the five-pocket layout for everyday use, though Id prefer one zip pocket for peace of mind on the move. The sizing feels a touch generousworth checking if you’re between sizes.- Reviewed by Ultralight Outdoor GearFeaturesClassic 5 pocket designTwo front open hand pockets, with one internal coin pocketTwo rear open patch pocketsZipped fly and button closureSubtle Montane logo embroidered patch pocket detailSpecificationsXSmall (UK 08) weighs: 286gSmall (UK 10) weighs: 294gMedium (UK 12) weighs: 298gLarge (UK 14) weighs: 308gXLarge (UK 16) weighs: 323gRegular FitMaterial & ConstructionGRANITE STRETCH Recycled Plain Weave with 4 way stretch allows for freedom of movement and durable fast drying comfort. 93% Nylon (recycled) 7% Elastane with PFC free DWR coatingHelp & advice:About MontaneRecycled Content in Outdoor Gear
