Paramo Womens Ventura Trousers

Ventura Trousers are for high mountain enthusiasts and professionals, who are outdoors for long periods in varying conditions.

High mountain activities such as climbing, alpinism and snow sports involve moving with exertion across a range of environments for long periods. To remain comfortable, you need efficient moisture and temperature control to minimise changes on the mountain, freedom of movement and good functionality.

The directional Nikwax Analogy^® Waterproof fabric gives dry comfort, while the articulated fit and stretch fabric allow unrestricted movement. The trousers offer excellent temperature control and functional features for high mountain use.

The Ventura Trousers have excellent freedom of movement, great ventilation and technical features.

• Unrestricted movement from diamond gusset, knee articulation and strong, stretch fabric for seat and knee panels.
• Easy and rapid temperature adjustment provided by ¾ length side zips with internal poppered storm flaps.
• High mountain functionality from technical features such as internal ankle snow cuffs with loops and crampon patch reinforcement.

Nikwax Analogy Waterproof fabric is more than just breathable, it is directional.

This means it is capable of moving liquid water away from your body and not just water vapour.

It is essential to avoid a build-up of water in your clothing system when you are working hard, as too much retained moisture will lead to your body rapidly chilling when you stop and rest.

In conventional clothing systems, approximately 20% of sweat production is dealt with effectively, leaving the remaining 80% trapped inside.

Nikwax Analogy garments are unique, in that they pump out this 80% of liquid water and allow it to drain away; you are left feeling dry and comfortable.
