What are the Podium Pants?The Montane Podium pants are perfect for fast-paced activities where weight and small pack size are key. Montane have used their own Aqua Pro Lite, one of the lightest weight waterproof and breathable fabrics on the market. The close-fit ensures that they don’t flap around in the wind and the elasticated ankles and waist ensure you can retain heat and keep out the worst of the weather. Because they weigh in at only 100g (Size Medium) and pack into its own stuff sack, they can live in your pack all year round and go unnoticed until they are needed.
What are the Podium Pants made from?The Podium Pants use Montane’s own Aqua Pro Lite which offers a 15,000mm Hydrostatic head and good breathability (15,000g/m2/24hrs MVTR) keeping out the worst of the weather. Utilizing micro taped seams and an elasticated waist and ankle bands, the Podium pants offer unrivalled protection from the elements.
What are the features?The Podium Pants are a firm favourite for two main reasons - they're protective and they're incredibly lightweight. They are, however, mostly tailored to trail running and emergency use - so try not to catch them on rocks and brambles.
The Podium pants offer a full range of movement and are very comfortable when moving fast, due to the diamond crotch gusset and articulated knees. Down the side of each leg is a 1/4 length YKK reverse coil zip, allowing you to put them on over running shoes, great for days when the weather catches you off guard. The internal storm flap also enhances protection acting as an extra barrier to keep the wind and rain out.
How do they fit?The Podium pants come under Montane’s ‘Mountain run’ fit, therefore they are tailored to be a snug and close fit. They will fit great over running tights, shorts or even a pair of close fit walking trousers like Montane’s Ineo Pro pants.
