Páramo WOMEN'S CASCADA II TROUSERS

The Cascada II Trousers are for serious walkers, outdoors for long periods in varying conditions.

If you enjoy walking, whatever the weather, you may be familiar with the age-old problem of needing to quickly pull on overtrousers as soon as conditions turn – only to take them off again once the rain has passed! Conventional waterproof trousers quickly trap heat and sweat when you’re working hard and can be noisy and uncomfortable.

The Cascada II Trousers are the solution: a pair of articulated, waterproof walking trousers that you can wear comfortably all day long in varying conditions. Directional Nikwax Analogy Waterproof fabric gives you dry, next-to-skin comfort and weather protection. Extensive vents allow for excellent temperature regulation when you’re working hard. No more need for overtrousers!

The Cascada II Trousers have a contoured shape, excellent leg ventilation and reinforced knee, thigh and seat areas.

• Trim and feminine contoured shape with articulated fit for unrestricted movement.
• Easy and rapid temperature adjustment provided by 3/4 length reversed side zips with internal poppered storm flaps.
• Additional protection from double layer of Pump Liner in seat, thigh and knee areas.

Nikwax Analogy Waterproof fabric is more than just breathable, it is directional.

This means it is capable of moving liquid water away from your body and not just water vapour.

It is essential to avoid a build-up of water in your clothing system when you are working hard, as too much retained moisture will lead to your body rapidly chilling when you stop and rest.

In conventional clothing systems, approximately 20% of sweat production is dealt with effectively, leaving the remaining 80% trapped inside.

Nikwax Analogy garments are unique, in that they pump out this 80% of liquid water and allow it to drain away; you are left feeling dry and comfortable.
