Our most durable mountaineering hiking pants.

These sturdy hiking pants are made for mountaineering and are suitable for all-season outdoor activities.

We are using two main fabrics in these pants. One is a high-quality plain weave nylon because of its durability, windproofness and breathability. And on the thighs, knees and seat we use a flex1 softshell fabric. We use this material because it offers excellent movement, durability, windproofness, high breathability, and effective moisture transportation.

The primary fabric is a 200g/m2 100% recycled plain weave nylon fabric, a mid-weight quality perfect for all-year use. The flex1 is a 250g/m2 160D recycled double weave fabric to protect exposed areas, provide great stretch, and make the pants perfect for changing weather conditions. Both qualities are treated with PFC-free DWR for extra weather protection and durability.

Key features include a custom-fit waist system, two hand pockets, a hidden gaiter hook, a thigh pocket, and Velcro tightening on the bottom hem. Full-length, two-way zipper running from the waist and down , the top half from the hip to the knee has an open construction lined with mesh. While the bottom is lined with fabric like a traditional gusset. This also enables a wider fit from the knee down or an all-over wider fit with ventilation on the top.

These pants have a regular fit with articulated knees to improve mobility during vertical movement. They can be worn over hiking boots and light ski touring boots

PERFORMANCE

5/6 Windproofness: 100% windproof products, but slightly lighter and less rugged than category 6. Keeps you protected from the wind except under extremely demanding conditions with very strong wind and cold temperatures. Due to the lighter constructions, these outer layers will lay closer to the body and not provide the same shield performance as category 6.

2/6 Waterproofness: Cotton and natural fiber products that have been treated with durable water repellent. Will withstand small amounts of rain. If worn outside in the winter, they will not absorb that much moisture. If it is re-impregnated, moisture will pull less upwards and inwards.

1/6 Insulation: Has no insulating properties but can still work well on top of insulation layers and provide heat through wind protection. Thin one-layer fabrics, often super packable and lightweight shell products. Will feel cold during windy conditions if you don’t have any layering underneath.

5/6 Breathability: Outer layers that offer effective moisture transportation, good breathability, and quick-drying properties. Ventilates well and provides good sweat transportation during medium to high-intensity activities.

6/6 Durability: The most durable outer layers within our entire product range also providing good durability in relation to weight. Made in our extremely strong fabrics and design for extended use under demanding conditions. Will pass 150 full days of active use – which is considered the average lifetime for outerwear and continue to keep you protected for years and years if maintained well.

3/6 Lightweight: Not particularly lightweight, but the functionality and details of the products will make up for this.
