TECHNICAL INFORMATIONS
Hybrid structure
Trousers designed with 2 different components:
- a durable fabric (207 g/m2) on the areas that need protection from abrasion (seat, bottom of the leg at the front). This fabric is also stretchy, enabling great freedom of movement. It has a water repellent treatment.
- a light and breathable fabric (150 g/m2) on the rest of the trousers.
What is the water repellent feature of the component?
These trousers have water-repellent zones (lower leg and seat) that prevent water from getting inside the fabric. Please note, this does not mean WATERPROOF.
The water repellent property prevents the trousers from getting wet too fast and slows down the water ingress but will not keep you dry under steady rain. To restore the water repellent property, put the trousers in the tumble dryer on low heat for 10 min.Alternatively, we recommend you wear waterproof over trousers, ref. 8504646.
Accessories
2 zipped hand pockets near the bottom
1 zipped pocket at the right thigh
1 pocket with a flap at the left thigh and 1 phone compartment
Supplied with a belt.
Hand pocket opening direction
We have deliberately designed the sealing direction of the hand pockets as downwards.
As such, the zip's slider does not irritate you when you tighten the waist belt of your backpack, and your things stay very safe in your pockets!
