Another product article for Nepal 🙂 - this time it is about trousers.
By default, I use Vaude Farley Stretch Pants II (46/XS) and I love them. They are super light. If it is raining cats and dogs, I use Marmot Precip Full Zip (S/P).
Features
- Zip-Off: Make them shorter in case it is warm
- Breathability: See Hardshell Jackets
- Side vents: Open the trousers if it is hot
- Flexibility: Can you move enough?
- Pockets: Front, ass, knee
- Gaiter hooks (Schnürsenkelhaken): Allows you to "mount" the trousers on your shoes to prevent snow / rain from getting inside.
Overview
The ones with green background color were recommended for Nepal.
