Main Material

These pants are designed with 3 different fabrics:
- a durable fabric (198 g/m²) on the areas that need protection from abrasion (seat, bottom of the leg at the front). This fabric is also stretchy, so you can move freely.
- a light, breathable fabric (145 g/m²) on the rest of the pants.
- a very stretchy crotch gusset.

Why choose a hybrid construction for the MT 500 Hiking Pants?

The MT 500 Hiking Pants have: 
- 2 zipped hand pockets
- 1 zipped right thigh pocket and 1 interior phone compartment
- 1 left thigh pocket with flap
- 1 zipped back pocket

The pants are stretchy at the bottom so you can adjust them to fit perfectly over your shoes.

The pants come with a belt.

What accessories are available for the MT 500 Hiking Pants?

These pants have water-repellent inserts (front of leg, seat) so water slides off the fabric’s surface. 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 Hiking Pants (ref. 8736465).

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

How water-repellent is the component in the reinforcement zones of the MT 500 Hiking Pants?

The regular cut and use of stretch fabric in the right areas guarantee high comfort when moving around.

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.

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.

A fabric is water-repellent when water slides off its surface without being absorbed. Because the fabric doesn’t soak up water, it remains lightweight and breathable. Water repellency is achieved by treating the fabric’s exterior. This treatment needs to be reapplied throughout the product’s lifetime. Water repellency can be reactivated by putting the item in the dryer for 10 minutes on low heat.
You can also use a waterproofing spray (ref.: 8554908).

How to restore water repellency

Our Quechua global design centre is based in Passy, at the foot of Mont Blanc in Haute-Savoie, France. This location makes it a real meeting place for our teams and outdoor sports enthusiasts. It’s the perfect spot for designing our hiking products.
