Highly technical, durable and directional waterproof trousers for high mountain activities such as climbing or mountaineering.
The Ventura trousers uses the Nikwax Analogy® Waterproof fabric system for excellent weather protection and an improved, technical design for great functionality.
Ventura Trousers are for high mountain enthusiasts and professionals, who are outdoors for long periods in varying conditions.
High mountain activities such as climbing, alpinism and snow sports involve moving with exertion across a range of environments for long periods. To remain comfortable, you need efficient moisture and temperature control to minimise changes on the mountain, freedom of movement and good functionality.
The directional Nikwax Analogy® Waterproof fabric gives dry comfort, while the articulated fit and stretch fabric allow unrestricted movement. The trousers offer excellent temperature control and functional features for high mountain use.
The Ventura Trousers have excellent freedom of movement, great ventilation and technical features.

In what kind of weather conditions can I use my Ventura trousers?
Your Ventura trousers have been tested at the Leeds University Rain Room to resist at least 4 hours of steady rain. You can use them throughout the year in cold or wet conditions.
Because the fabric system offers significant insulation when the ventilation zips are closed, this is not the best garment to deal with very hot conditions.
