Trekking pants
Trekking and mountaineering pants for diverse climates. Wind resistance. Light and breathable coat. For use on treks to base camp.
1st layer | Inner pants
Base pants, also called leggings, are worn against the skin, are snug and comfortable. They are made of wool or synthetic materials and designed to fit the comfort of other layers. They should not be cotton.
2nd layer | Warm pants
These pants must be weather resistant, air permeable, elastic, and durable. Combined with a base layer to increase the heat or a hard layer when it rains, it is perfect for mountaineering. A good option is the Soft-Shell Wind stopper pants, highly versatile due to their fabric’s elasticity or the polar type. Reinforced in areas prone to wear. Prima Lof pants are also an option for Aconcagua.
3rd layer | Rainproof pants
They are Gore-tex pants that are designed to protect from rain, snow, and wind. They are used as the outer Layer.
They must offer full-length or side zippers in changing conditions without removing any footwear. Regardless of intended use, stiff pants should not be insulated to allow for a modular layer.
Estimated rental price: USD 60
Extra layer (optional) | Prima loft
Waterproof, lightweight, and windproof pants make them an excellent option if you want to reinforce the third layer optionally.
