PTARMIGAN2 Women's Hiking Pants

The PTARMIGAN2 pants are recognizable by:
- its two-tone look
- its two-material construction: a very stretchy, soft and light material as the main fabric, to bring you maximum comfort, and a ripstop fabric as reinforcement, both water-repellent, stretchy and resistant to tackle any type of rock.
- its well-designed and practical pockets for storing everything
- its responsibility: it is made from recycled nylon waste

Did you know? The ptarmigan - our totem animal - changes its plumage according to the seasons. It turns white in winter to escape predators and increases the puffiness of its feathers to avoid cold snaps. The PTARMIGAN2 pants are inspired by this: they stop the rain and the wind and
retains body heat (over 30°C at the surface of the skin).
To enjoy your favorite activity whatever the weather, here are the basics: layers.
- The first layer, called internal, must be breathable, to guide perspiration towards the outside of the garment.
- The intermediate layer is insulating, it helps retain heat.
- The outer layer protects against bad weather: waterproof, breathable, windproof. PTARMIGAN2 belongs to this last category. By building your outfit according to this system, you gain in comfort and versatility. During exercise, you can remove the intermediate layer and then put it back on when you stop. In short, multi-layering is the basis.

Here, we favored Econyl, an innovative and responsible material made from nylon waste. The material is recycled from old fishing nets, fabric scraps... The thread comes from Slovenia, the 2 materials are woven and dyed in France and Italy, then the assembly is carried out in Lithuania.
