OVERVIEW

The Alta Trek Trousers are for people who require a comfortable and functional pair of trousers for a range of outdoor activities.

If you enjoy walking, hiking or trekking across varied terrain, you need legwear that provides all-day comfort; easy, unrestricted movement; and clever, useful features. Good protection from wind and showers is also essential.

  • Multiple features include 4 pockets for storage and handwarming, brace loops and a double popper waist closure for added security, an adjustable hem with popper closure for adaptable fit, and a high sitting back yoke for extra protection when needed.

How will my Wind Resistor garment outperform standard softshell?

Nikwax Wind Resistor fabric balances tough performance with all-day dry comfort. Lighter in weight than many equivalent fabrics, it provides excellent wind-resistance and water repellency and is a quick drying alternative to softshell. It reduces the effects of wind-chill, is extremely breathable, and is highly resistant to degradation in UV light. The dense weave also protects against biting insects.

In what weather conditions can I use my Alta Trek Trousers?

The Alta Trek Trousers provide wind and shower protection in mixed weather and reduce the effects of windchill to keep you comfortable. They are also highly resistant to degradation when the UV Index is high, and the thigh vents help to control your temperature in warmer weather.

Whilst the trousers are quick drying and can be worn throughout the year, in particularly wet conditions we recommend using a pair of Analogy Waterproof trousers instead, such as our Cascada II’s.

Which garments should I wear with my Nikwax Wind Resistor Trousers for optimum performance?

We recommend using our technical Cambia underwear underneath our Wind Resistor legwear for maximum comfort, and a Cambia baselayer underneath an Alta III Jacket for upper body protection.

How do I look after this Páramo item?

Always wash this garment with Nikwax Tech Wash® to remove dirt and revive the water-repellency. If, even after washing, the garment outer absorbs water, it is time to reproof with Nikwax TX.Direct®. If you very heavily soil your garment, for example with tar or oil, you can have it dry cleaned. It will then need to be washed with Tech Wash and reproofed with TX.Direct.

Nikwax Tech Wash and TX.Direct are market leading products. They have been specifically designed and optimised for breathable waterproof fabrics. Application in a washing machine is quick, easy, and ensures that the whole garment is thoroughly cleaned and waterproofed.

Nikwax Tech Wash is a highly effective cleaner. Additionally it will revitalise existing Durable Water Repellency (DWR) and revive breathability. It is the safe way to thoroughly clean your waterproof clothing and equipment.

Nikwax TX.Direct Wash-In has been specifically designed and optimised for breathable waterproof garments; it leaves a flexible water repellent treatment on individual fibres allowing moisture vapour to pass through, maintaining breathability.
