How to choose the most suitable pants?

When choosing outdoor pants, you need to take into account several factors immediately. Typically, this will be the material, the overall style and then, of course, the cut that will define what comfort the pants will give you. And let's not forget – then there are the parameters themselves, determining the resistance of clothing to weather conditions. To make it easier for you to navigate the collection, we have prepared this comparison for you. We will look at several popular KILPI outdoor pants and compare their advantages and disadvantages. This will make you much more at ease when deciding which pants to choose for your next hike or other outdoor activity.

Membrane pants

SIBERIUM 30 000 2,5L

Garments made from this two-layer lamination have a water column of up to 20,000mm/m2/24h and an extremely high breathability of up to 30,000g/m2/24h . In addition, they have an additional impregnated layer that only enhances the capabilities of clothing with this membrane. Siberium 30,000 2.5L clothing is also defined by two other important features - extreme lightness and compactness. This makes any item with this membrane ideal for intense sports. Running, hiking in adverse weather conditions - this is only a partial list of activities for which Siberium 30,000 2.5L clothing is typically recommended. We chose waterproof pants Kilpi ALPIN for the comparison. It serves as a protective layer against the wind, cold and rain. You will appreciate them especially when hiking in the mountains, skialping or other outdoor and sporting activities where you wish to stay dry and comfortable. Their greatest advantage is the SIBERIUM membrane material with high water resistance and breathability, which is also extremely light. The pants can be conveniently packed in a bag, which you can throw any time into your backpack. In a size M, the Kilpi ALPIN weigh only 300 grams. Another feature you'll appreciate out in the field are the side full-zippers, which make it easy to pull the pants over your hiking boots. The pants have a looser cut, all the seams are sealed and the waistband can be adjusted with Velcro. The bottom hems of the pants are elasticated, so they hold nicely over shoes and can also be adjusted with Velcro. Zippered fake pockets allow access to your undergarments. The Kilpi ALPIN-M is available in universal black.

Benefits of these pants:

suitable for more demanding hiking
windproof and waterproof
suitable for year-round outdoor activities

We recommend garments from this category especially for sport and leisure activities in summer weather. Below we have included two Siberium SRC SB pants in our comparison.

Benefits of these pants:

4 directional elasticity
three zippered pockets in total

The elastic band at the waist is wide and does not pinch and has an adjustable drawstring. The ripstop material used on the knees is highly resistant to abrasion.

COTTON COMFORT

For another material used for outdoor pants, let's turn to natural sources. Natural cotton is a very popular material. It is soft on the skin and, in combination with synthetic fibres, stands out for its elasticity, durability and long life. Cotton and synthetic products are generally very comfortable for leisure and non-demanding sporting activities. Of course, water resistance cannot be expected.

Outdoor leggins

OPTI STRETCH

The specific feature of OPTI-STRETCH products is the 4-way stretch, which in combination with the sophisticated cut and functional details offers comfort during movement. The knit structure of this material will help wick away moisture and prevent penetration of the cold from external sources. You will appreciate such outdoor clothing especially during demanding sporting activities or in your leisure time.

Benefits of these pants:

quick-drying and elastic material
reinforced in the high stress regions
suitable for year-round outdoor activities

Which outdoor leggings do we recommend?

For woman Kilpi MOUNTERIA-W

We have included the Kilpi MOUNTERIA-W leggings made of this material in the comparison. They are designed predominantly for outdoor activities and hiking. They have a simple design and the construction of the leggings is as functional and practical as possible. The area of the crotch and knees is reinforced with ripstop which is more resistant to abrasion. The wide elastic at the waist with a drawstring does not pinch and adapts well. On the sides of the leggings there are two pockets that are the size of a mobile phone. The Kilpi MOUNTERIA-W is available in two colours.
