Trail Adventure Ii Pant youth unisex

Use:

• Designed for young adventurers, these pants are ideal for hiking and exploring in nature, providing protection against the elements and comfort throughout the activity.
• Thanks to their waterproof and breathable construction with Omni-Tech™ technology, they are perfect for outdoor activities where rain or humidity is a possibility, keeping boys and girls dry, cool, and comfortable.
• The Columbia brand has manufactured these pants considering the need for a technical, durable, and flexible garment that allows young people to move with total freedom and enjoy their adventures without worrying about inclement weather.
• Their unisex design makes them versatile for any young explorer, offering a practical and functional solution for protection against bad weather in various activities such as school trips, camps, or outdoor games.

Features:

• Omni-Tech™ technology with fully sealed seams: Offers superior waterproof and breathable protection, preventing external moisture (rain, snow) from penetrating through the fabric and seams, while allowing body vapor to escape to keep the user dry and comfortable inside.
• Elastic waistband: Provides a secure and comfortable fit that easily adapts to the growth and movement of young people, making them easy to put on and ensuring the pants stay in place during activity.
• Adjustable cuffs: Allow for a versatile fit at the bottom of the legs using an adjustment system, which helps prevent water, mud, or cold from entering, and facilitates adaptation over different types of footwear, such as hiking boots.
• Breathable construction: Complementing the waterproofing, the fabric helps regulate body temperature by allowing excess heat and moisture generated by the body to escape, which increases comfort during movement and prolonged activities.

Materials:

• Exterior (Shell): Omni-Tech™ Plain Weave 2L 100% polyester fabric. This 2-layer material is specifically designed by Columbia to offer a robust, waterproof, and windproof barrier, while also facilitating breathability. Its polyester composition ensures excellent durability, abrasion resistance, and relatively quick drying, essential qualities for active and frequent use by young people in demanding environments.
• Lining: 100% nylon 210T taffeta. This type of nylon lining is valued for being lightweight, soft to the touch, and durable. It contributes to the overall comfort of the pants, facilitates sliding over other layers of clothing (such as thermal leggings), and helps protect the inner waterproof membrane. 210T taffeta is known for its good tear resistance and durability.
