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.

ProcessDope Dyed
Colour made by dyeing polyester chips, using less water than traditional methods
Dyeing textiles requires lots of water, whilst also generating water waste from the dyeing vats. To reduce the environmental impact this has, we have chosen solution dyeing, which integrates colour pigments when manufacturing the thread. This uses less water and therefore also leads to less water wastage.
