How will my Wind Resistor garment outperform standard softshell?
Nikwax Wind Resistor fabric balances tough performance with all-day dry comfort. Lighter in weight than many equivalent fabrics, it provides excellent wind-resistance and water repellency and is a quick drying alternative to softshell. It reduces the effects of wind-chill, is extremely breathable, and is highly resistant to degradation in UV light. The dense weave also protects against biting insects.
Very comfortable worn against the skin, the fabric’s mechanical 4-way stretch ensures good freedom of movement, making it suitable for use during a wide variety of outdoor activities.
In what weather conditions can I use my Alta Trek Trousers?
The Alta Trek Trousers provide wind and shower protection in mixed weather and reduce the effects of windchill to keep you comfortable. They are also highly resistant to degradation when the UV Index is high, and the thigh vents help to control your temperature in warmer weather.
Whilst the trousers are quick drying and can be worn throughout the year, in particularly wet conditions we recommend using a pair of Analogy Waterproof trousers instead, such as our Cascada II’s.
