The ACTIVATE LIGHT softshell trousers are designed for dynamic hiking on demanding terrain with a light pack. These are the lightest trousers in our ACTIVATE series. Like the rest of the products in the series, they are very stretchy and breathable and have a minimalist design.They have a body-hugging fit, allow your skin to breathe when it's warm, shrug off light showers and stretch with every move you make. And they only weigh about half a pound, which makes them ideal for lightweight hiking trips.
