What are the Valliste 2L Pants?
They're versatile outdoor pants made with breathable yet waterproof Gore-Tex® technology to provide maximum protection during any season. The Valliste 2L Pants are ideal for a range of activities and are perfect for general outdoor enthusiasts who enjoy basking in the fresh mountain air during the weekend.
What are they made of?
The main fabric used to construct the Valliste Pants is 100% recycled PES with waterproof two-layer Gore-Tex®. It feels reasonably lightweight and, being bluesign® approved, has fantastic environmental credentials. Though fully waterproof, it's also highly breathable, keeping you comfortable and your body temperature regulated throughout your adventures.
Outer materials are treated with a PFCec-free DWR (durable water repellent) for reinforced weather protection. PFCec-free DWR treatments are much more sustainable than conventional DWR's, as they don't use particular chemicals that harm the environment, earning these trousers some extra eco-friendly brownie points.
They're lined with a ripstop weave material made from 100% polyester, 30% of which is plant-based! Ripstop is incredibly durable. It's tear resistant and can withstand bumps, scrapes and general beatings from rough surfaces and craggy rocks easily, giving you the reassurance you need to give your activity your all.
Duratec polyester reinforcements on the bottom hem increase robustness where needed most. The patches are coated with a polyurethane coating to increase abrasion resistance and overall wear in exposed areas, helping to prevent catching and snagging from crampons or jagged, rocky edges.
What are their features?
An internal waist adjuster allows you to optimise and adjust the fit with or without layers underneath. Suspender loops also give you the option to attach braces to help keep the trousers in place without having to fit them uncomfortably tight and restricting movements for challenging, steep ascents and technical manoeuvres.
These trousers have a press button at the front, a hook and bar closure inside, and an easy-to-use zip fly for security.
A large pocket on the right leg is perfect for belongings such as a GPS device, mobile phone or hill snacks as it keeps them away from the joints, preventing them from digging in or restricting movement.
Knees are articulated to optimise mobility for steep, tricky ascents, and the hems and calves of the trousers can be adjusted with velcro adjusters to optimise the fit around chunky mountain boots or over thick socks and long johns.
