Arcteryx Sentinel Women's Pant

Backside laps or striding to your line, the Arc'teryx Sentinel Women's Pant is a tough all-mountain shell pant for descent-focused days. Fully waterproof and breathable with a hard-wearing face fabric, it pairs a contemporary women's cut with the kind of articulation that keeps you moving through variable terrain. The result is reliable weather protection that disappears once you are in the rhythm of the run.

Why we like it:

Thigh vents are the detail we keep coming back to; on a warm spring bootpack you can dump heat fast and zip back up before the next cold descent. The fit is refreshingly modern without going baggy.

Features and Functions:

The Sentinel Pant is built from three-layer GORE-TEX ePE with a stout 100 denier face fabric for abrasion resistance against edges and crust. Its wind and waterproof construction still breathes, and zippered thigh vents lined for airflow let you regulate temperature on the up. Articulated patterning and a women's-specific shape keep the fabric out of the way through deep turns.

Fit and Sizing:

A regular, freeride-minded cut articulates at the knees and seat for striding and dropping in, with room to layer a baselayer bottom beneath. Sizing is true to size for most riders.

Bottom Line:

Pair it with the matching jacket or run it solo; either way it is best at hard backcountry and resort skiing where you need a pant that takes a beating and keeps weather out. A dependable companion for anyone who measures a day in vertical.
