What are the Zinal Hybrid Tights?
They're versatile outdoor leggings built with extensive outdoor expertise to offer high precision and performance in outdoor environments. The Zinal Hybrid Tights provide a great alternative to classic hiking trousers and are suited to various activities, including hiking, trekking, backpacking or more leisurely activities both on and off the hill.
What are they made of?
These leggings are primarily made with polyester elastane knit which is lightweight, moisture wicking, durable and stretchy. It offers fantastic breathability and freedom of movement for extended or more technical adventures to keep you comfortable and well-supported.
Woven recycled polyamide elastane ripstop also reinforces high-wear areas, including the knees, edges and the seat, to ensure that these pants can take a beating in rugged terrain.
The material is treated with PFC-free DWR (durable water repellent), which encourages water to bead off the fabric instead of soaking in. Although please note that this does not make it completely waterproof!
PFC-free treatments are also much healthier for the planet as they don't use harmful per-fluorinated chemicals, aka 'forever chemicals' that stay in the environment after use.
To top it off, the material and treatment are bluesign® approved, and this product has been created in conjunction with FairWear standards.
bluesign® approval ensures that the materials have been safely produced and production methods have considered and met certain ethical and sustainable standards concerning the environment, the consumer and workers involved in the process.
Mammut also works with FairWear to ensure safe, ethical working conditions in their factories, helping to protect workers' rights and being considerate and sustainable with their processes.
What are their features?
The hybrid construction, which involves the strategically placed reinforcement patches mentioned earlier, offers a modern style that still provides the durability of conventional outdoor trousers.
They have a flattering fit that sits much tighter than standard trousers, like a legging, and a smooth finish that looks understated and sporty. They're incredibly comfy, making them versatile enough to wear in urban settings, at home or even to the gym, and they can wick away moisture effectively to keep sweat at bay in humid conditions or when you're working hard.
These pants also have pockets, making them even more functional than average sports leggings, meaning you could carry small essentials easily without a backpack, whether energy gels for trail running or a set of car keys when out on the hill.
