Warm hunting trousers
These trousers are designed to keep you warm, even when the thermometer shows very low temperatures. They were recommended down to -19°C in our laboratory tests (standard EN ISO 15831:2004) and feature 60 g/m² wadding: the cold can come, but you will not feel it!
Silence is the other outstanding feature of these trousers
Right from the start of the design phase, we wanted these trousers to be as quiet as possible. Our textile engineers and stylists were tasked with finding the components and materials to produce frictional noise to below 40 decibels. By way of example, this corresponds to the noise generated by the members of a quiet library.
Silent components
Which is why these trousers have special press studs on the cargo pockets that make less noise than conventional press studs. But the most important thing to remember is that this model (and the jacket that makes up the outfit too - reference 8915879) is the first Solognac trousers with a floating membrane.
What is a floating membrane and what does it do?
See these trousers with 3 superimposed layers: an outer fabric, a floating membrane (that is not bonded to the fabric) and a warm inner lining. The main advantage of floating membrane garments is the protection they provide against the cold. The air between the outer fabric and the membrane acts as insulation, even in very cold temperatures. Another benefit: the membrane does not crackle, so it makes less noise when you move.
Other features to keep in mind
The trousers, which weigh 1.190 kg in size L, are higher on the lower back: when you bend down or kneel, you are protected from the cold.
They also have braces to keep them securely in place, so you can stay warm in the lookout all night.
The waistband is elasticated at the sides for comfort and a snug fit.
The bottom of the trousers (ankles) can be tightened with press studs, and the knees have a mesh gusset.
Water repellence of fabric
Even if you are out in the rain and you can feel that the outer fabric is wet and gradually starting to soak up water, you will stay dry. Admittedly, the fabric is not waterproof (it is water-repellent), but the trousers’ 3-layer design means you can hunt in the rain for a while without getting soaked.
