TECHNICAL INFORMATIONS
Hybrid structure
Trousers designed with 2 different components:
- a robust fabric (207 g/m²) on the areas that need protection from abrasion (seat, bottom of the legs at the front). This fabric also has stretch properties. This gives you plenty of freedom of movement.
- a lightweight and breathable fabric (125 g/m²) on the rest of the trousers.
Accessories
2 zipped hand pockets
2 zipped thigh pockets (and 1 mesh patch pocket on the inside of the right pocket)
1 zipped pocket at the back
Elastic tightening system at the ankles for a perfect fit of the trousers over the boot.
Trousers sold with a belt.
What is the water repellent feature of the component?
These trousers have water repellent inserts (lower leg, seat) that make water run off the surface of the fabric.Please note, this does not mean WATERPROOF.
The water repellent property prevents the trousers from getting wet too fast but will not keep you dry under steady rain.To do this, you will need a pair of over-trousers like the MT500 model (ref.8493660). The water-repellent properties can be restored by warming the trousers in a tumble dryer at low heat for 10 minutes

Agree by
These trousers, launched in 2018, were validated in the field by several people who completed the Grande Traversée des Alpes (GTA) in late spring 2017. In 2021, it is thanks to the reviews of our customers that these trousers were improved further: - addition of a back zipped pocket; - use of stronger yarns for joins; - double seam on the back fork.
