Description:

A whiteout on the plateau can turn to rain lower down the mountain. With their fully-taped waterproof shell, our Snowline trousers help seal out the worst of these changeable conditions for winter mountaineers, ice climbers, trekkers and ski tourers.

The HS2 fabric used to make the fully-taped outer shell has a hydrostatic head of 30,000mm and a moisture vapour permeability of 20,000g/m2/24h making it highly waterproof and breathable. It has proved itself to be outstanding on the biggest and coldest mountains of the world. The YKK Aquaguard water-resistant zips – backed by an insulated under-baffle – help keep the air and water out, and the heat in.

Lighter than carrying down trousers and waterproof trousers separately, the Snowlines pack into a 13 x 21 cm stuff sac (supplied) taking up minimum space in your rucksack.

Also available in custom sizes. We make clothing to order, so if you’re not a standard size we can make it to fit. To order a non-standard custom size, select the Custom Sizing tab and choose the waist and inside leg sizes that work for you. A custom size takes us a little longer (typically two weeks longer) to make and, because it’s personalized, it’s non-returnable and our customer loyalty scheme can’t be applied.

Superlight MX fabric (weight: 32 gsm)

A mini-ripstop nylon with excellent tear strength, MX is the pick of the superfine 15 denier downproof materials. We have tested lighter fabrics, but most have had significant drawbacks, while our confidence in MX is based on several years of extensive use in both our ultralight and our high mountain gear.

950 fillpower down

A newcomer to our range. European goose of rare quality. A high value alternative at the top levels of performance. More on our down insulation.

Waterproof HS2 outer fabric (weight: 88 gsm)

HS2 is a 2-layer laminate, a high-spec option for the outer layer of our insulated gear. This ripstop fabric strikes an excellent balance between lightness and durability. It is light enough for our Belay tops and tough enough for expedition use in our Omega clothing, while the Kappa clothing makes full use of both its qualities. HS2 is completely waterproof (when the seams are taped) and offers excellent breathability. (Weight: 88gsm).
