What are the Taiss Pro HS Pants?
The Taiss Pro HS Pants are waterproof, hardshell trousers for hardcore mountain enthusiasts. We're talking big ice wall climbs and technical mountaineering adventures that require maximum performance and functionality.
What are they made of?
These trousers are constructed using Mammut Dry Expedition DRYTech™ Pro.
Mammut's DRYTechnoloy™ Pro is made of polyamide, providing lightweight durability. Mammut DRYTechnology™ Pro offers breathable, windproof and waterproof protection with a Hydrostatic Head of 27,000mm.
The outer material is treated with a PFC-free DWR (durable water repellent) for reinforced weather resistance.
PFC-free DWR's are a much more sustainable approach to water-repellent treatments compared to conventional methods, as they don't use per- or poly-fluorinated chemicals that can damage the environment.
Inside, the shell is lined with woven polyamide that has a PU coating to reinforce durability and weather resistance.
Mammut works with FairWear to ensure safe, ethical working conditions in their factories, helping to protect workers' rights and being considerate and sustainable with their processes.
What are their features?
A wider waistband improves the fit and can be adjusted from the outside for maximum precision with minimal faff. You can also adjust the width of the legs using the two hook-and-loop fasteners, helping to reduce or increase volume depending on your activity or whether you are wearing longjohns underneath.
Two leg pockets with a water-repellent zip ensure your snacks and essentials keep dry, safe and easy to access.
The pre-shaped knees give you better freedom of movement around the joints, making it easier to step high or stretch out when climbing or scrambling.
Side vents provide ample ventilation and help to increase airflow when you're working up a sweat. Each vent uses a two-way, 3/4 length zipper to give you different options on how to wear them, for example, if you only want them partly open in bad weather or to prevent heat build-up.
Integrated snow gaiters help keep the powdery stuff at bay to keep your legs drier, ideal for ski-touring and adventuring when the snow is deep. There are also reinforcement patches made with durable Cordura® to help prevent crampons from snagging or tearing your trousers as you walk. Cordura® is also placed around the edges to increase longevity and resist abrasion from jagged rocks and scree.
Asymmetrically shaped hems optimise the fit over mountaineering boots whilst reducing overall bulk around the lower leg.
