Exceptional features for a pair of comfortable semi-dry trousers

You can kneel down on rock or concrete, or slither down a slip granite boulder on your backside. The Enduro Mesh rienforcement keeps you and your trousers protected.

Enduro Mesh reinforcement

Glued & Blindstitched neoprene waist

Internal easy-on long neoprene cuffs

Adjustable Velcro outer cuff

The ankles have easy-on neoprene cuffs. These are stitched and taped to provide a semi-dry seal and barrier against flushing. The outer cuff is adjustable with a Velcro tab to get the perfect fit over your shoes. The tall neoprene waist is glued and blindstitched for a smooth, comfortable seal. It hugs you. You don't have to adjust it. It's super stretchy neoprene with a glideskin mesh neopren internal band for wicking so moisture will not be dran up into the waist.

Waterproof taped inside

The trousers are waterproof taped on internal seams to keep you comfortable.
