BERGHAUS will be the world’s first brand to use new 2.5L Pertex Shield Pro fabric with the launch of the Pacsmart Pant this month. Available in men’s and women’s versions, the overtrousers mark the debut of the high performance material. Berghaus brought it to the market after an extensive development and testing process in close collaboration with Pertex.
The 2.5L Pertex Shield Pro fabric combines a microporous membrane with a 40D ripstop nylon face. It is highly waterproof, with a hydrostatic head of 30,000mm, and extremely breathable, with a moisture vapour transfer rate (MVTR) of 13,000g/m2/24hrs.
Pertex Shield Pro is also lightweight, packable, very durable and the fabric is made without the intentional use of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS).
Designed for wide ranging outdoor use, three quarters length side zips mean that the overtrousers are easy to put on and take off over boots or shoes as conditions demand. There are double press studs for added security and protection and to allow for extra ventilation when working hard.
The pant is cut to allow great freedom of movement and an elasticated waistband adapts to the body and provides a comfortable, secure fit. It comes with a small stuff sac for easy storage, taking up minimal space in a pack.
The women’s Berghaus Pacsmart Pant weighs just 227g (size 12) and the men’s weighs 237g (size large).
