MENS CASCADA II TROUSERS

Cascada II Trousers are for serious hikers, and those outdoors for long periods in varying conditions.

If you hike in all types of weather, you’ll be familiar with the problem of quickly pulling on rain pants when conditions worsen – only to remove them once the rain passes! Conventional waterproof pants trap heat and sweat when you’re working hard and can be noisy and uncomfortable.

Cascada II Hiking Trousers are articulated, waterproof hiking pants you can wear comfortably all day in varying conditions. Directional Nikwax Analogy Waterproof fabric gives you dry next-to-skin comfort and weather protection. Extensive vents allow excellent temperature regulation when you’re working hard. No need for rain pants!

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

• Easy and rapid temperature adjustment provided by 3/4 length reversed side zips with internal snapped storm flaps.
• Trim, contoured shape with good articulation for unrestricted movement.
• 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 vapor.

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.

In what kind of weather conditions can I use Cascada II Trousers?

Your Cascada II Trousers have been tested at the Leeds University Rain Room to resist at least 4 hours of steady rain.

They are great for changeable conditions, as they are comfortable enough to wear all day. If it starts to rain you just carry on going, without stopping to put on separate rain pants. The fabric system is highly breathable and directional, which, combined with leg side vents, means these trousers can be worn in warmer conditions than conventional “shell” rain pants.

Great for hiking, cycling, backpacking, and other high energy outdoor activities.

How do I care for my Páramo waterproof?

Regularly wash it with Nikwax Tech Wash^® to remove dirt and revive its water repellency. If, after washing, the outer fabric absorbs water (it does not run off in beads) it is time to reproof your garment with Nikwax TX.Direct^®.

What if I damage my Nikwax Analogy Waterproof clothing?

Simple repairs can often be done with a needle and thread without compromising the performance of your Páramo gear.
