Alpin L Pants 2019

Universal waterproof trousers

Alpin L trousers, together with their siblings,Alpin S, are great for skiing as well as for wearing in the woods or the mountains, in short, for all leisure activities. The full-zip trouser legs with waterproof YKK zips mean you can take off the trousers without the need to take off your shoes or ski boots, as well as providing 100% ventilation. The trousers also include braces, which are attached with Velcro fasteners, so they can be removed easily. A belt with a quick release metal buckle is also included.

Technology

The two-layer laminate with a laser-cut Japanese A.C.D. membrane, with fully taped seams, will keep you dry whether you’re exposed to the rain, wind, or sweating on a strenuous climb. The legs can be unzipped along their entire length and have two-way open YKK waterproof zips - this means they have two opposing sliders and can be fully unzipped both at the top and the bottom. Naturally, there are Velcro safety fasteners at both these points. Exposed areas are reinforced to increase their resistance to abrasion. Pockets also have YKK waterproof zips. The braces are attached with Velcro fasteners so they can be easily removed.

A summer shower or a cloudburst

The two-layer laminate with a highly flexible A.C.D. membrane boasts a water column of 20,000 mm and breathability of 25,000 g H2O/m2. In simple terms, this means that if you kneel in mud, for example, assuming the contact area is 10 cm2, you can weigh up to 200 kg and the membrane will not soak through. Two-layer laminate simply means that the membrane is pressed together with the top layer of fabric with a mesh lining on the inside to protect against mechanical damage.
