Protection from the sand

These trousers are designed for treks in the desert and particularly sand deserts. To stop sand getting in, they have:

- a lightweight gaiter (that is invisible if you don't need it) which fastens on top of the Desert 500 boot over the laces.

- a storm pocket to protect a phone or fragile belongings, that is inspired by canyoning bags (protection from the sand). To drain the sand from the other pocket, the bottom of this one is in mesh.

UV PROTECTION: WHAT DOES UPF 40 MEAN?

The UPF index (Ultraviolet Protection Factor) corresponds to tests carried out on fabric by a spectrophotometer. A UPF 40 rating means that the fabric only lets 1/40th of the UV light through. This is one of the best available protection ratings against the sun's rays.

A cut tailored to hot climates

For greater comfort, these trousers have a wide fit, unlike most hiking trousers. As a result, the fabric does not stick to the skin, lets air circulate and reduces perspiration. Moreover, the wide cut means you don't feel restricted by fabric when seated.
