Cascada II Trousers are for serious walkers, outdoors for long periods in varying conditions.
If you walk in all weathers, you’ll be familiar with the problem of quickly pulling on overtrousers when conditions worsen – only to remove them once the rain passes! Conventional waterproof trousers trap heat and sweat when you’re working hard and can be noisy and uncomfortable.
Cascada IIs are articulated, waterproof walking trousers you can wear comfortably all day in varying conditions. Directional Nikwax Analogy Waterproof fabric gives you dry next-to-skin comfort and weather protection. Extensive vents allow excellent temperature regulation when you’re working hard. No need for overtrousers!
The Cascada II Trousers have excellent leg ventilation, a contoured shape, and reinforced knee, thigh and seat areas.

In what kind of weather conditions can I use Cascada II Trousers?
Your Cascada II Trousers have been tested at the Leeds University Rain Room to resist at least 4 hours of steady rain.
They are great for changeable conditions, as they are comfortable enough to wear all day. If it starts to rain you just carry on going, without stopping to put on overtrousers. The fabric system is highly breathable and directional, which, combined with leg side vents, means these trousers can be worn in warmer conditions than conventional “shell” overtrousers.
However, because the fabric system offers significant insulation when the ventilation zips are closed, we recommend fast-drying Maui Trousers for hot, wet conditions.
