Description
Waterproof trousers for skis and snowboards
To complete the Freeride set, we also developed trousers for the jacket of the same name. The main features of the Freeride trousers are inner snow guards, a large vent at the crotch or, for example, detachable braces with an insulated fleece panel in the back, which is guaranteed to keep your kidneys warm.
Thanks to their loose fit, these trousers ensure high mobility and make it easy to manoeuvre on skis or a snowboard or during other winter activities.
Technology supporting performance
The two-layer laminate with a laser-cut Japanese A.C.D. membrane, with fully taped seams, will keep you dry whether you’re exposed to the rain, wind, or sweating on a strenuous climb.
The legs can be unzipped to mid-calf and have YKK zips with flaps and internal gussets. The bottom of the trouser legs can be adjusted with Velcro and an elastic cord with a cord lock. Reinforcing on the inside of the legs prevents them from wearing and being cut by the edge of skis.
Pockets have YKK waterproof zips or zips with flaps. The braces with an insulated panel are attached with Velcro fasteners and a YKK zip on the back so they can be easily detached.
A summer shower or a cloudburst
The two-layer laminate with a highly flexible A.C.D. membrane boasts a water column of 20,000 mm and breathability of 25,000 g H2O/m2. In simple terms, this means that if you kneel in mud, for example, assuming the contact area is 10 cm2, you can weigh up to 200 kg and the membrane will not soak through.
Two-layer laminate simply means that the membrane is pressed together with the outer layer of fabric with a mesh lining on the inside to protect against mechanical damage.
