What are the Flatiron 185 Leggings?
The Flatiron 185 leggings are luxuriously soft and super stretchy Merino baselayer leggings that offer the highest thermal performance, moisture management capabilities and durability for their weight.
They're ideal for boosting warmth in cold, freezing conditions for pretty much any activity, from skiing to hiking, mountaineering to running everyday errands. Naturally odour resistant and exceptionally comfortable, they're perfect for keeping the cold at bay during long trails and multi-day adventures when you'll never want to take them off!
What are they made from?
The Flatiron 185 Leggings are made with 185GSM Nuyarn merino for an unmatched warmth-to-weight ratio. Artilect's unique Nuyarn Merino material uses a blend of merino wool and nylon. Merino wool is renowned for being naturally odour-resistant, durable, breathable and moisture-wicking. The wool in this material is non-mulesed, so no animals were forced to endure cruel and painful processes as a result.
Nuyarn technology enhances the performance of merino wool by using a patented twist-free process to construct the yarns instead of traditional spinning methods. It drafts the fibres along a high-performance filament, which amplifies its natural properties for unparalleled performance, offering superior next-to-skin benefits. It has a 5x faster drying time and 35% more stretch and loft (lessening the weight). Nuyarn is also 53% less wind permeable and 50% more durable than standard merino, and it still uses 30% less raw materials! Pretty impressive, huh?
What are their features?
The Flatiron 185 Leggings feel exceptionally soft next to the skin and are comfortable enough to wear for practically any activity. They're so comfy that you won't want to take them off! Thankfully their natural odour resistance means you can wear it for longer between washes without offending your campmates.
A gusseted crotch improves the legging's range of movement, allowing you to tackle steep inclines and negotiate challenging terrain. It also makes it easier to sit and squat down to cook and relax at basecamp in cold conditions when you'll be wearing your baselayers continuously for multiple days and only braving your skin to the cold when nature calls.
No-chafe flatlock seams reduce the bulk and prevent the stitching from rubbing uncomfortably against the skin whilst wearing it for long periods of time, making it ideal for long trails and multi-day adventures across the seasons.
