Water repellency is a fabric’s capacity to make water run off its surface without being absorbed. It prevents the fabric from soaking up water, keeping it lightweight, warm, and breathable. Water repellency is achieved by treating the fabric’s exterior. The garment should be retreated over its lifespan (recommended after each wash). Products for this purpose (spray or liquid) are available in our stores.

What is water repellency and how can you maintain it?

The inside fabric is brushed—a tried-and-tested method for retaining heat. The principle is simple: the knit component is designed to trap air, which acts as a natural insulator, keeping the body warm. Animal fur and feathers work on exactly the same principle. 

How can I be sure that these pants are warm enough for winter hiking?

The slim fit and stretchy fabric provide essential freedom of movement. The zipped pockets keep personal items secure (tissues, lip balm, keys, etc.).

Comfortable, practical winter hiking pants.

In winter, protection from both moisture (snow, rain) and wind is important, because wind can significantly cool the body. The windproof, water-repellent outer fabric was designed to handle all winter conditions. We also added attachments to keep moisture out.

How do these pants protect from outdoor conditions?

Whatever your cold-weather activity, use the three-layer technique:
Layer 1: A high-tech base layer to wick moisture away from the body and keep your skin dry.
 Layer 2: A fleece jacket or sweater to provide warmth and transfer moisture outward.
 Layer 3: A jacket to protect against the elements (rain, snow, and wind). 
To eliminate moisture, the whole outfit must be breathable.

How to dress properly for hiking in cold weather

Durability tests are conducted on selected components: resistance to rubbing and abrasion, and colourfastness. All these tests were conducted on the pant material.

Will your pants withstand regular use long-term?

Men's Hiking Pants

Polyamide fabric reinforcement reduces abrasion and increases heel stability.

Packaging

Wool fibres can store a lot of air and let water vapour escape, making wool an excellent choice for moisture management and thermal regulation. Wool’s ability to store and release moisture make it an insulating, comfortable material for hiking socks.

The properties of wool

The merino wool, from Spain, has been a carefully selected breed for generations because of its wool. It provides a softer fibre than traditional wool. After shearing, the wool is cleaned to remove impurities, then carded, spun, and finally used for knitting or weaving.

What is merino wool?

Merino wool offers an unbeatable experience: soft, lightweight, and breathable. Thanks to its fine fibres, it provides natural thermal regulation. It keeps your feet warm in cool weather and cool in warm weather.

What are the benefits of merino wool?

To stay warm when hiking in the winter, we recommend: 
Warmth: wear warm socks (ideally with a good percentage of wool). 
Breathability: choose socks based on the intensity of the hike and, to minimize moisture, make sure they’re breathable.
Boot height: the height of your socks should correspond to the height of the boot—for more protection, choose higher socks.

How do I choose the right footwear for hiking in the snow?

These socks come in packs of 2 pairs of matching socks.

Pack of 2 pairs

The stretchy fabric means these socks conform to your feet and stay firmly in place. Given that the length, width and volume of our feet is always different, we advise trying on your socks in store before purchase, and testing them before going on a long hike.

Bottom Shape

Fitted cut for enhanced moisture wicking.

Sizing and fit

We only use wool from Merino sheep raised on farms in South Africa that do not practice mulesing. 
We decided to build a partnership with a group of breeders (Konsortium-Merino) to ensure respect for animal welfare and the environment.
This means we have full traceability, allowing us to guarantee the wool’s origin.  Learn more by visiting our website.

Origin of the wool

We have used a Betaspun yarn structure, where polyamide threads coat merino wool fibres, protecting them from abrasion and cuts without affecting their properties.

How have we made our merino wool boxers more durable?

For greater softness, wash your boxers before first use.

Tip before use

Machine wash your boxers at 30°C on a normal cycle, preferably with liquid detergent. 
Dry flat and never tumble dry to avoid shrinkage.To learn more,

Water beads and runs off the treated fabric.

Pockets

These pants weigh about 510 g (18 oz) in size M.

Ideal for walking in cool or windy weather. A stronger fabric is used on the knees and seat.

Customization

These pants are designed with 2 different components:
- a very durable fabric (277 g/m²) on the areas that need protection from abrasion (seat, knees, and the front of the lower leg)

Why choose a hybrid construction for the MT 900 Hiking 
Pants?

The MT 900 Hiking Pants are water-repellent. They allow water to slide off the surface of the fabric. This product is water-repellent, not waterproof.

The water repellency prevents the pants from getting wet too quickly. However, this won’t be enough to keep you dry if you’re in steady rain. For intense rain, you will need a pair of rain pants like the MT 500 Rain Pants (ref.8736465).

Water repellency can be reactivated using a reactivating water-repellent spray (ref. 8800346).

Are the MT 900 Hiking Pants water-repellent?

The MT 900 Hiking Pants have several pockets:

- 2 zipped hand pockets
- 2 zipped thigh pockets
- 1 zipped back pocket

A hook at the bottom of each pant leg allows you to hook your pants 
over your boots so that you can prevent stones and snow from getting inside. 

Ventilation zippers on the sides improve air circulation. 
The belt that comes with the pants can also be used as a tightening strap for your equipment.

What accessories come with the MT 900 Hiking 
Pants?

These pants have a snug, close-fitting cut. Perfect freedom of movement with two-way stretch fabric. If you prefer loose-fitting pants, choose one size up from your usual size.

What is the cut of the MT 900 Hiking Pants?

Slim fit with raglan sleeves and good stretch properties for plenty of freedom of movement during your hikes. 
A warm layer, such as a fleece or a lightly padded jacket, can be worn underneath. 

Elastic drawstring and tightening toggle for easy adjustment. 
Integrated semi-rigid visor provides high-level protection.
The small detail that makes the difference: a triangular opening on the side of the hood for better visibility.

Main component 

The waterproof rating depends on two key criteria: component and construction. 
This product was made with a membrane.
The membrane is a kind of very thin plastic film (polyurethane) that makes the component waterproof and breathable. 
It is flexible, lightweight, and breathable.

Membrane

3-layer design: The membrane is glued between the outer and inner fabric. We use it for durable, high-performing jackets.

Layer design

Laboratory tests are conducted to guarantee the waterproof rating of a component. The resistance of a fabric is measured by the height of a water column in mm.
The higher the water pressure, the more waterproof the fabric. 
This product’s component has a 20,000 mm waterproof rating and can withstand the pressure of a 20,000 mm water column. 
This is equivalent to 20,000 Schmerber.

Component 
waterproofing

We conduct laboratory tests that simulate rainfall to guarantee the jacket’s waterproof rating. 
This product was validated in a shower test under 18 cm of rain for 2 hours. This test reproduces the average conditions of a mountain storm.

Water resistance of the 
jacket

Component breathability is measured by its thermal evaporative resistance (RET). 
This allows perspiration to escape during physical activity, preventing it from accumulating on the skin. 
The lower the RET, the more breathable the fabric. 
RET ≤ 6: very breathable fabric 
RET ≤ 12: breathable fabric 
RET ≤ 20: not very breathable fabric 
This product as a RET of 6.
