Specifications: - Moisture Vapor Permeability (MVP): >20,000 g/m²/24h - Weight: 850 g - Watercolumn: >20,000 mm Material: - Pants: Oculus® 100% Post-Consumer Recycled Polyester, 173 g/m² - Reinforcement: Duracoat™ Knee, bottom hem and rear Technology: Cutan®: - Cutan® is a proprietary Klättermusen waterproof and ventilating technology developed to improve on existing fabrics both in performance as well as sustainability by developing PTFE-free membranes to become fluorocarbon-free in production. Cutan® fabrics are soft, flexible, have great stretch and are fluorocarbon-free. - Cutan® Super Stretch consists of three layers: an inside layer in polyamide, a waterproof polyurethane membrane in the middle and an outer fabric of polyamide and stretch fiber. The three fabric layers are laminated together into one single fabric. - Cutan® Stretch RP consists of three layers; an inside fabric in polyester, a waterproof polyester membrane in the middle and an outer fabric of 100% Recycled Polyester (RP). The three fabric layers are laminated together into one single fabric. Cutan® Stretch RP is 100% recyclable. Oculus®: - Oculus® is the group name for our polyester apparel fabrics, produced in accordance with our strict requirements for sustainability and quality. These fabrics can include a mix of polyester or Elastane to get the desired qualities. - Polyester has close to no water absorption, high abrasion resistance, high tensile strength and is very wrinkle resistant. This makes it ideal for use in outdoor packs and apparel. Duracoat™: - Duracoat™ is a unique proprietary surface treatment that Klättermusen has developed to improve durability in high-abrasion areas. It is a coating that is applied to particularly vulnerable places such as the shoulders or elbows, increasing wear resistance by up to five times. - Duracoat™ is a surface treatment, meaning that no extra seams or layers of fabric are added, while keeping it very flexible. Durability is improved without increasing the weight of the garment or weakening the fabric with seams. The cut and construction is kept intact as Duracoat™ doesn’t distort the shape or impede movement in any way, making it ideal for the agility required by mountaineers. - Duracoat™ has become a symbol of both the scientific know-how and innovative thinking of the Klättermusen tradition. Durable Water Repellent: - Durable water repellent commonly referred to as DWR, is a treatment which creates a water repellent (hydrophobic) surface on a fabric. The water repellent prevents the fabric from becoming saturated with water which both affects the function of the garment and the user experience. - All types of DWR become less effective over time, because of wear, washing and ultra-violet radiation from the sun. This degradation over time requires re-proofing the fabrics which can be performed at home using wash-in or spray-on DWR. - Klättermusen uses DWRs 100% free of fluorocarbons. We were the first outdoor company to completely remove PFOA (one of the most hazardous fluorocarbons) from all garments already in 2008. - Fluorocarbons are commonly used because they technically are effective – however, they are also an endocrine disruptor proven to cause reproductive harm. Fluorocarbons present a growing problem in nature and the outdoor industry which professes to care about nature. Care: - Machine wash at 40°C or less on reduced cycle. - Do not bleach. - Tumble low. - Iron at low temperature. - Do not dry clean. - Wash regularly.
