Pure Jeanius From Alpkit?

Soft shell denim jeans? Well, sort of...  Alpkit's latest CoLab project is called Jeanius and promises outdoor-friendly, denim pants that are both windproof and highly water resistant and what's more, by taking part in the development process, you can land a pair at a discounted price right now.


Traditionally cotton jeans have been the enemy for outdoors purposes, with their unmistakable cold, wet, stiff slow-drying approach to rainfall, but Epic's denim fabric has changed alll that. The fabric company takes denim and encapsulated the fibres of the material with silicon meaning that the fibres are sealed, but leaving 'micro holes' between them to allow the jeans to breathe.


Alpkit has tweaked the basic jeans cut for outdoors use as well - there's a diamond crotch to allow easy movement for, say scrambling, climbing or biking and articulated knees so you can, well, bend zee knees. All good stuff.

We've actually been using a pair for around a year now and we're impressed. We won't prejudice your opinion by going into detail, but the bottom line is you can wear jeans and still laugh in the face of rainfall. For a bit anyway... Oh, and they look nice too.
