The Enduro Salopettes are designed to fulfil the needs of the demanding outdoor professional.
When working hard in extreme conditions, you need legwear which will offer all-day comfort, unrestricted movement and protection from cold and wet conditions.
The well-tested and functional design, combined with Nikwax Analogy Waterproof fabric, provides optimum comfort, excellent articulation and total weather protection.
Features:
- The Nikwax Analogy fabric system provides unrivalled waterproof protection and moisture management.
- Articulation and zoned stretch panels allow for unrestricted movement.
- Dyneema® reinforcement patches on ankles and fabric reinforcement in all high-wear and high-abrasion areas.
- Drop seat and 2-way zipped fly allow comfort stops without removal of the salopettes or braces even when wearing a harness, while the broad elastic braces are comfortable when worn under a jacket.
- Large full-length two-way leg zips allow easy ventilation while a central zip on the bib and waist adjustment provide excellent temperature control.
- Storage from two large zipped chest pockets on the bib.
- Calf adjust cords allow for maximum knee articulation whilst minimising the possibility of “crampon tripping” when in use
- Added protection and insulation provided by removable and replaceable knee pads
How will your Páramo garment outperform breathable membranes?
Nikwax Analogy fabrics are not only extremely breathable, but they are also directional. This means that water, both liquid and vapour, is directed outwards, ensuring your insulation remains protected.
Although breathable membranes allow moisture vapour to pass through them, they do nothing to transport liquid water. Therefore, when the production of sweat exceeds the Moisture Vapour Transmission Rate, or when the external temperatures drop, condensation (the change of water from vapour to liquid) will build up in breathable membranes.
Nikwax Analogy fabric is so durable you could puncture a Páramo waterproof with pins, remove them, and still stay dry in the rain! Unlike coated or membrane-based garments, our directional clothing can be easily repaired without compromising future performance.
Nikwax Analogy Waterproof fabric is more than just breathable, it is directional.
This means it is capable of moving liquid water away from your body and not just water vapour.
It is essential to avoid a build-up of water in your clothing system when you are working hard, as too much retained moisture will lead to your body rapidly chilling when you stop and rest.
In conventional clothing systems, approximately 20% of sweat production is dealt with effectively, leaving the remaining 80% trapped inside.
Nikwax Analogy garments are unique in that they pump out this 80% of liquid water and allow it to drain away; you are left feeling dry and comfortable.
How do I look after this Páramo item?
Always wash this garment with Nikwax Tech Wash to remove dirt and revive the water repellency. If, even after washing, the garment outer absorbs water, it is time to reproof with Nikwax TX.Direct. If you very heavily soil your garment, for example with tar or oil, you can have it dry cleaned. It will then need to be washed with Tech Wash and reproofed with TX.Direct.
Nikwax Tech Wash and TX.Direct are market-leading products. They have been specifically designed and optimised for breathable waterproof fabrics. Application in a washing machine is quick, easy, and ensures that the whole garment is thoroughly cleaned and waterproofed.
Nikwax Tech Wash is a highly effective cleaner. Additionally, it will revitalise existing Durable Water Repellency (DWR) and revive breathability. It is the safe way to thoroughly clean your waterproof clothing and equipment.
Nikwax TX.Direct Wash-In has been specifically designed and optimised for breathable waterproof garments; it leaves a flexible water repellent treatment on individual fibres, allowing moisture vapour to pass through, maintaining breathability.
