Houdini W's The Orange Pants - Women's ski touring pants

What is so special about it? In the initial phase of development, this garment was nicknamed The Orange. And why? The brief to Houdini's design team was to create a completely waterproof, packable shellgarment that was no bigger than an orange when packed. The idea is that you can always pack these pants in your backpack and be prepared for any unexpected mountain weather. Full weather protection in an incredibly lightweight and compact form - that's the Orange Pants. How does it work? The idea behind the women's Orange Pants is that you can wear other items of clothing better if you wear them on top of each other. Let's not kid ourselves: if you're going for a run, a hike, a ski tour or a long climb, waterproof pants are rarely the most comfortable option(you usually want to maximize breathability). Nevertheless, you should never head out in unpredictable mountain weather without a pair. That's why we've developed a fully waterproof shelltrouser that you can take with you effortlessly and still always be ready when the weather turns bad. And when it comes down to it, the ultra-light, smooth and low-noise fabric ensures a high level of comfort. Which functions are offered? The Orange Pants for women are minimalist to save weight and volume. We have only added the bare minimum of extra features: waist and leg adjustments and zippers on the lower leg. The main feature of the garment is the concept and how it feels to wear it. These are no ordinary shelltrousers, but a completely new kind of ultra-lightweight suppleness that you will hardly feel, but that will still keep you dry in any storm. When should I use them? The Orange Pants for women were developed for mountain sports where weight and pack size are crucial: running, ski touring, mountaineering or traditional climbing. If you have them in your backpack, you won't notice they're there, and when the weather gets rough, they'll keep you dry and happy. Of course, they also make super lightweight and comfortable rain pants for those times when you're not storming through the mountains. The Orange Pants are made from recycled and recyclable polyester, enabling a cycle where nothing goes to waste. They are also completely free from toxic chemicals. If the garment is worn out, we ask you to return it to Houdini. In all our stores and at many retailers, Houdini's products are taken back for recycling.
