Description
Designed for fast moving expeditions to the highest levels or for any extreme cold weather venture where weight is at a premium. These down trousers use lightweight, water-resistant Drishell fabric and a highly efficient lightweight construction and provide an efficient hassle-free alternative when the full warmth (and weight) of salopettes is unnecessary.
1000 down option
Now available with our unique 1000 fillpower down as a 'K Series' product.
As used by the EverestMax team, and many others.
Please note: If you order a custom-sized version of these trousers they will take longer (approximately 45 days) to be manufactured ready for dispatch. Custom-sized versions of these trousers are not returnable and customer loyalty discount cannot be applied.
Technical
Water-resistant Drishell outer fabric (weight: 54 gsm)
Ripstop nylon with an ultralight coating: achieves total windblock, along with high breathability and superior water resistance. Superbly efficient for a very light overall fabric weight.
900 Fillpower Down
European goose down of very high quality. A truly excellent down with large clusters, consistent quality and lively long-term performance. More on our down insulation.
Waterproof HS2 outer fabric (weight: 88 gsm)
HS2 is PHD's high-spec 2-layer ripstop for waterproof outers on our down. It is light enough to be the optional taped shell on our sleeping bags and tough enough for expedition use in our Omega clothing. HS2 is completely waterproof (when the seams are taped) and offers excellent breathability.
