Eco-design
For the main fabric, we chose a dyeing process that is more respectful of the environment. Fabric dyeing requires a lot of water but also produces waste water from the dye baths. To reduce this environmental impact, we use a bulk dyeing process called dope dyeing that involves adding the colour pigments when the yarn itself is produced.
We therefore reduce CO2 emissions by 37% compared to the old model.
Durability
To provide durability that you can rely on, we use a light (150 g/m2) yet highly resistant and durable fabric on the knees and seat. It is made from polyamide yarn with a 200 denier warp and 320 denier weft (denier is a measure of the thickness of the yarn). Indestructible!!
What is the water repellent feature of the component?
These trousers have water-repellent inserts (knees, buttocks) that let the water slide off the surface of the fabric. Please note, this does not mean WATERPROOF.
The water repellent property prevents the trousers from getting wet too fast but will not keep you dry under steady rain.To do this, you will need a pair of over-trousers like the MT500 model (ref.8493660).
The water-repellent properties can be restored by warming the trousers in a tumble dryer at low heat for 10 minutes
Functions
To make it easy to identify the leggings without hesitation, we have used a red zip puller on the right leg and grey on the left. So you won't confuse the two! Partially elasticated lower legs to fit your trekking boots better!
