The PHD Sizing Chart below is based on measurements without clothing, exactly the way you would buy a pair of trousers. Inside Leg is measured from crotch to ankle bone.
Once you've selected your Waist size you can specify the Inside Leg size up to two sizes bigger or smaller. For example, a trousers or salopettes with a medium (M) Waist can have XS, S, M, L, or XL Inside Leg. If you have any questions about your size, please contact us.
N.B. PHD clothing is unisex.
* Please note: we make our stuff sacs big enough to allow fairly easy stuffing rather than reducing clothing to the tightest minimum.
These Primaloft filled trousers are designed as a versatile lightweight answer to lower body warmth for Himalayan trekking, Scottish winter excursions or Alpine winter sport. Pair them up with the Kappa Jacket for a complete system.
Excellent protection is provided by the HS2 waterproof outer* and quick body warmth by Primaloft Gold® , which will retain much of its insulation when it's wet. These trousers also work well when you're already soaked and simply want a warm-up layer to shift the chill.
Short side zips and high abrasion crampon patches provide practical use at minimum weight.
*Please note: although the outer fabric is waterproof, the stitch lines are un-taped for lightness. So, although the outer will shed rain and snow, in a heavy downpour water can penetrate the stitching. However, the Primaloft® insulation retains much of its insulation if wet. As always in the mountains, if there is a possibility of prolonged rain, carry full specification waterproofs.
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.
Primaloft Gold® is the ideal microfibre insulation. Ultrafine fibres produce an insulating core that is incredibly soft, lightweight and water resistant. In our experience it absorbs water much more slowly than other waddings, a marked advantage in wet-cold conditions.
The nearest of the synthetics to the feel of down, yet tougher than you would expect. Primaloft Gold® offers the best warmth/weight performance in the Primaloft range
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).
