Trousers with reinforced lower legs up to the crotch to tackle the toughest undergrowth
Lower legs reinforced with 269.2 g/m² Dynamonous by Toray (93% Polyester, 7% DuPontTM Kevlar®) up to the crotch for higher puncture and abrasion resistant against vegetation in hostile "DuPontTM and Kevlar® are the property of subsidiaries of DuPont de Nemours, Inc."
How do these reinforcements provide protection?
The whole part of the trousers in grey/black is reinforced. We designed this model in response to feedback from users who wanted reinforcements above the knees. These reinforcements are ultra-resistant: it takes about 1,000 circular movements with sandpaper to make a hole in them. They reduce the risk of being scratched when walking through dense and thorny undergrowth in woods.
Breathability: an important feature of the composition of these trousers
Woodcock hunting often involves hours of walking before finally spotting this mythical bird. Get ready to sweat! These unique trousers have increased breathability and perspiration wicking with their side ventilation zips. How? Pulling the left and/or right zip on the back of the thigh downwards reveals a mesh fabric with hundreds of miniature laser-cut holes. This allows air to circulate easily and improves ventilation during strenuous exercise.
Other points our teams focussed on
First, the belt: the belt is elastic to comfortably fit your waist. Second point, elastane: there is 7% of elastane in the main fabric. This fibre can be stretched and then return to its original shape, irrespective of your activity. The comfort of this soft and elastic material is widely recognised. You can bend down without risking any rips, or walk for hours without feeling any resistance from the trousers on your legs. This model adapts to all your movements.
Take all your accessories with you thanks to the multiple pockets included
Are you used to having your wallet, hunting documents or car keys close to hand? These trousers have 2 pockets specifically for this purpose, plus they're zipped with a self-locking zipper for greater security. Another zipped and lined pocket (to prevent vegetation from making its way inside) on the right-hand side can be used to carry your smartphone or other accessories, such as a whistle, a camera battery, if you are filming your excursions, or your notebook.
So, what about water-repellency?
There is sometimes dew on the ground in early morning hunts. Materials without any water-repellent treatment or that are not waterproof tend to absorb these droplets of water. Your legs gradually become damp when walking through wet vegetation. This model's fabric is completely water-repellent. This means that the drops of water slide off the fabric and are not absorbed. This is ideal when it starts raining lightly.
Did you notice this detail?
There is a small elastic band with a hook inside the feet of each of the legs of these trousers. This hook is designed to be fastened to your shoe laces (if you are not wearing boots) to keep the trousers taut permanently: this will prevent the vegetation from making its way into the trousers and stops the trousers from rising up when bending down or kneeling when looking for gold. Wearing a garment that follows your movements is essential to making good progress.
Other features that our teams added to these hunting trousers
The vertical zip on the sides of the bottoms of these hunting trousers can be opened to put your boots on more easily. And the pressure studs help to keep the trousers tight and close-fitting. Finally, the comfort stretch pleat in the crotch makes it easier to step over obstacles, branches or narrow streams.
