Lightweight but stretchy
"They fit well, with ankle zips to get over shoes and then a clip to tighten. Only weird bit was pocket zips have a backwards opening but it’s not a big issue"

Great pants.
"Great pants."
Trailhead Over Trouses
"I liked the first pair I had so much I have purchased another pair. Have thrashed the first ones and they are still going strong, but look a little rough now, so have a new set for best and as back up."
Men’s Trailhead Stretch 2. 5 Layer
"Was very happy with the pants, great fit"
Great for Antarctica and hiking
"These are great for Antarctica zodiac cruising and landings. They keep you dry in the zodiac and getting in and out: with waterproof boots of course. When walking around on landings have kept me warm without overheating. They will come in handy for going to the football too I’m guessing. Easy to get on over footwear with the leg zippers."

Men's Trailhead Stretch 2. 5-layer

Very comfortable pants, great for
"Very comfortable pants, great for travelling to wet windy countries"
Great fit and quality
"I bought these pants to wear on my bike. I love these pants. The material is true to its description and are stretchy, which is good riding the bike. I find I am wearing it on my bike all the time as it keeps me warm in the cooler times, while keeping the rain out. I originally went looking for a cheaper type, but the sales assistant talked me into this type and I am glad he did. Great quality, good fit. I ordered the medium and found they were much too long. Took them to a store and swapped them for a small and they fitted perfectly. Staff were happy to help."
Q&A
- What is the water rating?
- These rain pants have a waterproof and breathability rating of 15k/15k. Cheers
- Is the fabric inherently waterproof, or does it rely on the Day's Worth of Repellency coating?
- The ngx™2.5 fabric used in our Rain Pants is made from water resistant materials as well as coated with a water repellant finishing coat. It's the combination of both of these factors that ensure our pants material is fully waterproof. Cheers.
