Manitoba Expedition Alpine Trousers | Waterproof & Windproof

Life in the mountains demands a level of toughness and adaptability not seen in less forbidding climates. These extreme conditions inspired us to create the Expedition range of alpine wear. Designed to shrug off cold, moisture and abrasion while remaining lightweight and packable, these trousers are essential equipment for hunting and trekking above the treeline. 

These trousers are packed full of features. The Manitoba Expedition Trousers use Aquaguard™ Zips all over. These premium water-resistant YKK® zips are the industry leaders in quality and reliability. The Aquaguard™ zips are engineered to block out rain without the need for a storm flap. A full length leg zipper makes getting changed a breeze, no need to take your boots and gaiters off. The Manitoba Expedition Trousers also feature a reinforced Cordura seat and ankle cuffs, giving you the unmatched protection needed against tears, scuffs and abrasions. Keep your essential items close at hand with two deep zippered waist pockets, and button-close ankle cuffs hold the leg of the trousers snug in place. 

With an awesome waterproof rating of 30,000mm, and a 40,000gm/m2/24hrs breathability rating, these alpine trousers are designed to keep you warm, dry and protected in the harsh above-treeline conditions. The Manitoba Expedition Trousers are also incredibly lightweight despite this, and pack down small into your pack - you'll barely notice them. Highly windproof, breathable and quiet as well, the new Manitoba Expedition Trousers are an excellent choice to accompany you on your alpine adventures.
