Product Focus
As we move into Autumn and winter lets dive into some winter legwear that is going to keep you warm and dry.
Skarven
The Skarven are rugged outdoor trousers. They're tough for off-track, off-path scrambling, hiking and heather bashing. They're tough as nails - our hardest wearing trouser for outdoor use and abuse. The Skarven are made from a quick-drying canvas fabric that dries quicker than cotton equivalents - perfect for passing showers.

They’re designed for full freedom of movement, with inbuilt stretch, a diamond-shape gusseted crotch and articulated knees for striding, scrambling and clambering.

Teleki
Teleki is our range of lightweight legwear for walking. They pack down small for stuffing in rucksacks on multi-day hikes. They’re available as trousers and shorts. And if you can’t decide between the two, the zip-off trousers are the best of both worlds for indecisive hikers in in-between weather. Teleki are designed for warm weather walking and backpacking. They’re lightweight, packable and tailored for freedom of movement.
Wind River
Hybrid swim-bike shorts designed for those hot hikes where you can't resist a dip. Lightweight, quick-drying. We're thinking deep water soloing, hot weather hiking, and working hard in the summer. They've got a drawcord to keep up while swimming. Amphibious and adventure-ready.
