Ridge LT Pant #Trail ｜Westcomb

Westcomb Ridge Light Pants

■Quote from manufacturer's description
These three-season pants are extremely lightweight, highly stretchable, and do not get stuffy easily.

The fabric is thin and stretchy, making these lightweight pants extremely comfortable to wear.
The fabric is also very durable and resistant to contact with rocks and trees, making it versatile.
Other Pertex materials are lighter in weight, but Equilibrium wins out in terms of comfort and durability.
Therefore, it can be used in a wide range of fields and activities, from alpine environments to hiking and even as daily wear.
It is also water-repellent and windproof, making it perfect for short hikes in light rain.

The fabric used is Pertex Equilibrium.
As the name "Equilibrium" suggests, this garment uses capillary action technology to release moisture such as sweat from the skin during exercise to the outside of the fabric, thereby maintaining the "stability" of body temperature.
The fabric has a double weave structure, with thicker fibres on the inside and thinner fibres on the outside.
Due to capillary action, moisture moves from larger vessels to smaller vessels, keeping the inside dry.
In addition, its quick-drying properties remove the latent heat of vaporization, lowering the overheated internal temperature and suppressing excessive sweating.
This helps to stabilize the body temperature.
In addition to this capillary action, the threads on the inside of the fabric are woven loosely, creating microscopic spaces between the skin and the fabric, creating a dry feeling.
The fabric is very soft and supple to the touch. It is very comfortable to wear and doesn't feel tight when moving around.

■Specifications
- 2 hand pockets and 1 zipper pocket on the back right.
- The waist is a belt loop type. By using a belt, the waist is more firmly fixed, giving a sense of security when walking for long periods of time.
-The fit is roomy and not too tight around the hips, and the pants are tapered towards the hem, giving them a very nice shape.
- There is a hole at the hem where you can install a drawstring if needed.

one thing:
I've been wearing these pants for the past year and I'm addicted to how soft they are.
Stress-free comfort.
I can wear them without any stress, even when doing strenuous bouldering or climbing steep slopes.
It is also highly water repellent.
I felt reassured by the fact that it easily bounced back even when hiking in the rain or doing water work at the sake brewery.

Compared to Westcomb's best-selling Recon Cargo pants
- The shape is straighter than Recon
- Softer than the Recon Cargo for a dry feel
- Extremely stretchable to follow your movements
- Belt loop stability
etc. are dominant
Recon is
・Tapered shape
·durability
・Easy tape belt type
etc. are excellent.

The usage is roughly
Recon → Climbing, stream
Ridge → bouldering, mountain climbing, everyday wear
I guess that's how it feels. There's no doubt that these pants will be perfect for the upcoming season.
