The Vanir Salopette has been designed for technical mountain use & gives you all the features you need to remain comfortable & protected in the most severe conditions. These are the sort of salopettes that you put on at the start of the day & only take off when you are safely off the mountain. Polartec Neo Shell fabric provides waterproof & highly breathable performance with added stretch to make them extremely comfortable to wear for extended periods. The face fabric is a densely woven flat finish high grade nylon that gives the Vanir superb durability. The high front bib features vertical twin chest pockets & fully adjustable & removable braces with electro plated steel buckles for strength & corrosion resistance. The back of the bib is cut lower & made from mesh fabric for increased breathability, especially when carrying a pack. An integral waist belt helps to cinch in any excess fabric & improves insulation when its really nasty outside. The Vanir has an athletic fit, they are narrower in the legs, to avoid excess fabric & maximise performance. Diamond crotch patterning & articulated knees improve mobility & the knees are reinforced to protect this vulnerable area. Jottnar have decided to avoid full length zips as they can form a bulky uncomfortable area at the waist, especially when wearing a harness. The YKK Aquaguard ¾ zips used have two way zippers to provide ventilation. The internal snow gaiter is fully removable if you want to use the Vanir for less extreme duties, & is fitted with elastic grippers & a lace hook. An external Kevlar reinforced instep reduces crampon damage & wear. A thoroughly brilliant pair of mountain salopettes, well designed & uncompromising in quality & function.
