The Swix Delda Men's Light Softshell Pants are fleece-lined, stretchy softshell pants made for fall and winter cross-country skiing, running and hiking. They resist wind and wet snow, with articulated knees and venting from the knee down. On a chilly trail they feel warm and protective without the stiffness of a heavier pant.

Why we like it:

Venting from the knee down is a clever touch. Lower legs heat up fast during a hard effort, and these let that heat go while the fleece lining keeps your thighs warm.

Features and Functions:

Recycled interlock polyester gives these pants four-way stretch, and the fleece lining adds warmth and a soft feel against the skin. The fabric resists wind and wet snow, helped by an eco-friendly water-repellent treatment. Articulated knees and flatlock seams keep movement smooth and chafe-free, while breathable panels from the knee down vent heat. Deep hidden hand pockets swallow small items, ankle zippers slide easily over boots, and a wide elastic waistband with internal drawstring and a zip-and-snap fly locks in the fit.

Fit and Sizing:

Relaxed, looser fit that wears more like a training pant than a tight, with room to layer underneath. Zippered elastic ankles fit neatly over boots.

Bottom Line:

A do-it-all cold-weather pant for easy kilometers, winter runs and everything in between.
