Recycled & recyclable: Our garments are produced from recycled fabrics and can be recycled at the end of their life, helping to minimise waste during production and avoid household refuse.

Features
Features
- The outer fabric is 100% Recycled Polyester made from post consumer waste, ie plastic bottles.
- The membrane is 100% Recycled Polyester ECOSHIELD. This recycled Polyester membrane is comprised of 85% Polyester film waste + 15% recycled bottles. It's also GRS & BlueSign certified.
- The waste from membrane production would usually be discarded, but this waste is cut into fragments, processed into small granules and then combined with recycled bottles into a new high-performance waterproof and breathable membrane.
- It's also possible to recycle ecoSHIELD membrane at the end of the garment's life, meaning that your garment can avoid being added to the ever-increasing percentage of textiles going into landfill each year.
- The backing is 100% Polyester 20D jersey, helping to keep the fabric lightweight and flexible and also making it possible for the fabric to be recycled at the end of the garment's life.
- The DWR is PFC Free C0 and also has a Plasma finish (Super DWR) which helps to lengthen the working life of the DWR between reapplications.

Low Waist - measure around your waist, below your natural waist, where you would normally wear your trousers/jeans
Inseam - measured from crotch to ankle bone
I bought these after the end of last season and have now used them for 4 days in Scotland and 8 days touring around the Gran Paradiso. Cold weather (Scotland!) and warmer weather performance has been very good with the sides zips providing easy to use cooling vents. They coped well with one day of heavy rain and let in no more moisture than my "branded" jacket that cost several times more. My only suggestion would be that the thigh pockets are too big. A thigh pockets is the best place to keep a mobile phone (in airplane mode) to get it as far away as possible from your transceiver - and the thigh pockets are wide enough to let the phone lie in a horizontal position rather than vertical and that can be a bit annoying. A minor point but maybe something to think about!
Thanks for your review, Richard!
We're glad the trousers met your expectations in various weather conditions. We appreciate your feedback on the thigh pocket size and will keep it in mind for future designs.

Good fit and perform well. Unfortunately the stitching on one of the thigh pockets has unravelled. Untrakt don’t offer repairs, which seems to go against the eco claims they make. We all know extending the life of garments is the best thing we can do.
I would have given these 5 stars if they were of the quality I was expecting.
Thank you for your review, Nick.
We're sorry about the stitching issue with your trousers. While we would love to provide a repair service, our current resources do not allow for it. However, we encourage you to seek a local repair solution. Should you prefer a replacement, please feel free to contact us directly or through the retailer from whom you purchased the item.

Ideal for ski touring etc; however, I am finding that it is a little tight at the waist with no adjuster. I bought XL as per the size guide but there is no leeway for any extra clothing at all. Overall a great buy apart from the tight waist sizing.
