Lightweight insulated trousers for both comfort and survival. The Torres Trousers are designed to maintain good insulation and water repellency in extreme or prolonged cold and/ or wet. They can be used as an overlayer or worn comfortably on their own. The innovative Torres Trousers are very easily and safely zipped on and off in any situation and so represent a practical survival aid.
Full length side zips with internal storm flaps.
Innovative but simple “zip off’’’ construction allows Trousers to be put on or taken off without taking one’s feet off the ground or sitting down. To see how click here to view video.
Webbing belt with waistband tunnel plus hook and loop tabs to secure.
Articulated knees mean movement is not curtailed.
Cut to fit over a climbing harness.
Effective in wet and windy weather as well as extreme cold, providing good insulation even when saturated
Overlayering prevents loss of body heat during changes and promotes drying of undergarments.
Very practical in bivouac and survival situations as mobility is not compromised by insulation (unlike survival bags etc).
Light outer fabric with 100g synthetic fill delivers low bulk, so Trousers are easily compressed for carrying in a pack.
Ideal garment for participants in any activity which could involve periods of sustained low temperatures, including Winter climbers and walkers, alpinists or Arctic explorers, skiers, Mountain Rescue, wildlife observers and outdoor photographers.
Treat with Nikwax TX.Direct Wash-In® to optimise wet weather performance.
What it does: Nikwax Analogy® Insulator combines Nikwax® Windproof closely woven microfibre outer with Nikwax synthetic, water-resistant fill to cut windchill and provide excellent insulation for overlayering with other Nikwax fabrics. It retains body heat very effectively to warm the body quickly and deflects the rain while providing excellent moisture vapour transfer. It packs down small, giving a high warmth to weight ratio. The fill gives a down-like feel and performance with the benefit of still working well when wet.
