Stellar Softshell Pants 2.0: Better than ever

Designed for the full spectrum of mountain activities, the new Stellar Softshell Pants 2.0 are incredibly versatile. Whether you're hiking, climbing, glacier travelling, or ski touring, these pants excel. While primarily engineered as comfortable and durable alpine pants for hiking, I personally discovered their impressive performance and versatility on a warm spring ski day.

The secret lies in their advanced softshell fabric; it's not only tough and resilient, but also wind-resistant, water-resistant, highly breathable, and remarkably stretchy. Plus, it's Bluesign-certified, crafted from a blend of quick-drying, durable nylon and elastane fibres. This combination ensures an exceptional range of movement while maintaining a snug, comfortable alpine fit. A PFC-free DWR treatment adds another layer of protection, effectively repelling light rain and wet snow.

Stellar's philosophy for the 2.0 version is clear: "Upgraded performance, improved durability, and an even better fit while adhering to elevated environmental standards. Standing by our reductive design philosophy and continuous strive for improvement, we updated the fabric and the fit and made various improvements, but kept its timeless lines and carefully considered details.”

The Softshell Pants 2.0 are designed with articulated panels for optimal movement while not being baggy. When the intensity picks up, large ventilation zippers on the side of each leg offer a fast and effective way to manage heat and moisture. Storage is abundant and practical: two large cargo pockets are easily accessible even when wearing a harness or backpack, while two hip pockets and a zippered back pocket provide ample space for smaller essentials.

The lower inside leg is reinforced to prevent cuts from ski edges or crampons and increases the pants' overall durability considerably. For seamless transitions between footwear, the bottom leg hems are adjustable with snap-buttons and include generous zippers to accommodate ski boots and allow access to buckles.

Stellar has meticulously redesigned these alpine softshell pants to be versatile enough for nearly any mountain adventure, and stylish enough for everyday wear around town.
