Our team of hikers at the foot of Mont Blanc designed these trousers that convert into shorts for hikers who seek adaptability to the changing weather.
Cut
These trousers have a sporty cut, which will provide you with perfect comfort when you are moving, thanks to the use of a fully stretch fabric in both directions (width and length). Choose your usual size. Finally, you can attach the laces of your shoes to a small hook located at the bottom of your trousers to prevent them from rising up.
MOISTURE TRANSFER TEST
The capacity of the fabric to wick away perspiration and dry quickly is measured according to several criteria: absorption capacity of the fabric, capacity of the fabric not to saturate with perspiration, speed of drying, etc. Level 1/5 is suitable for low intensity activities that don't generate much sweat. All our hiking trousers have a performance of 3/5.
Product design: our expertise
Our Quechua global design centre is based in Passy, at the foot of Mont-Blanc in Haute Savoie. This location makes it a real meeting place for our teams (designers, product managers, engineers, etc) and outdoor sports enthusiasts. A great asset for designing your mountain walking products and providing you with all our expertise.
OUR COMMITMENT TO CONSUME LESS WATER WITH THIS PRODUCT
Textile dyeing requires a lot of water but also produces waste water from the dye baths. To reduce our environmental impact, we use a mass pigmentation process (“dope dyeing”) on the black version that involves adding the colour pigments when the yarn itself is produced and consumes less water. The black MH500 modular trousers use this new dyeing process, which we want to replicate with other colours in the near future.
These convertible trousers provide optimum comfort with their light and stretchy component.
