WTD insulating trousers

19/03/2011 at 10:04

Looking for a pair of lightweight insulating over trousers, not salopettes, but something like the paramo Torres trousers or the mountain hard wear compressor trousers. Something lightweight that can live in a backpack until needed and can then be put on easily whilst wearing crampons, hence the full side zips.

These are for the missus, so a size medium ladies or small / medium mens.

Thanks in advance for any help you can give us.

ChEers Simon, but do they completely separate? Want something she can put on and take off without having to sit down and trying to thread her boot and crampon through the waist and leg.

Mmmm....fully spereate...dunno. I had focussed on full length side zips (which mine have).

these look as if they do ( the retailer is local to me - they are OK) but as they are Swedish so you might not get them small enough.....but there again, For £10 can you be far wrong?

the ones I have do

- Trousers, Thermal, Reversable - Olive/Sand

- made by snugpak

£15 unissued - i.e. brand new.

I'm usually a medium, but small was fine - still quite 'generous' for my sticklegs

about 550g.

Only problem is - elasticated waist but there is no drawstring or belt loops. And there is a fly opening which has no fasting - needs some velcro there.
