What are the Phantom Pants?
The Phantom Pants are a pair of packable waterproof trousers constructed with three breathable layers. The ultra-light and flexible, stretch fabrics are perfect for minimalist outdoor athletes. Whether tackling a pre-work jog in the rain or endurance running in the mountains, the Phantom Pants will keep you covered and comfortable for the whole session.
What are they made of?
These trousers are constructed from 7D Pertex® Shield, with a DWR finish to help keep out wet weather. This three-layer fabric is made of waterproof, windproof and breathable membranes, that create a functional, protective, highly packable layer. You can throw these into your daypack to prepare for unexpected weather, as at just 80g you’ll hardly notice them.
What are the features?
The 7D Pertex® Shield with DWR provides a durable waterproof layer that can withstand the worst of the weather. Ultralight critical taped seams enhance the waterproof protection of these pants, as they prevent liquid from running through between the stitching. The pull-on style means you can quickly and easily slide these on over other trousers if you get caught in a sudden downpour. The part micro elasticated waistband has a half hem drawcord and lightweight cordlock, providing stretch and easy adjustment. Stretch material and an optimised knee pre-curve allow additional movement and flexibility without restriction.
A lower leg opening gusset with snap fastener and hook and loop, makes it easy to put the trousers on or take them off with trail shoes, whilst the part micro elasticated lower leg hem helps keep the trousers in place.
Carrying these trousers around will not be a problem, as they come with an integrated ultralight mesh stuffsack that ensures optimal packability. Multi-angle reflective branding is seen throughout the design, an excellent detail for hikers or campers who may be out after hours and need a little extra visibility to keep safe.
How do they fit?
The Phantom Pants fit slim, so they will be slightly more fitted to the leg than regular trousers, helping reduce the chances of water slipping in through gaping excess fabric, or from flapping and creating resistance when running.
Where do they fit in the layering system?
These trousers are best worn as an outer layer due to their lightweight, waterproof capabilities. You can fit slim hiking trousers or leggings underneath to layer up, or even wear them alone and over shorts during hotter weather or in more tropical climates.
