Field Trial Results:

The trial lasted several weeks over multiple walks, in varying conditions, terrain and conditions.

The trousers performed better than expected:

  • The trousers are very robust and perform well in varying conditions.
  • The wicking qualities were very good, the vents above the butt cheeks are a good feature.
  • When putting the trousers on with boots/shoes, the full length leg zip worked well.
  • The elastic at the base of the leg kept the lower leg in place and prevented trouser ride.
  • Very lightweight and will take up minimal room in a pack.

 

Conclusion:

These waterproof trousers out performed my expectations.

If you are looking for a lightweight pair of waterproof trousers which are lightweight and take up little room in a pack, I would suggest you look no further.  The trousers are very robust with a lot of technical qualities

Are areas for improvement?  No!  They are a slim fit, so take this in mind when you purchase.
