Paramo Womens Cascada 11 Trousers Black

Cascada II Trousers are for serious walkers, outdoors for long periods in varying conditions.

If you walk in all weathers, you’ll be familiar with the problem of 
quickly pulling on overtrousers when conditions worsen – only to remove 
them once the rain passes! Conventional waterproof trousers trap heat 
and sweat when you’re working hard and can be noisy and uncomfortable.

Cascada IIs are articulated, waterproof walking trousers you can wear 
comfortably all day in varying conditions. Directional Nikwax Analogy 
Waterproof fabric gives you dry next-to-skin comfort and weather 
protection. Extensive vents allow excellent temperature regulation when 
you’re working hard. No need for overtrousers!
The Cascada II Trousers have excellent leg ventilation, a contoured shape, and reinforced knee, thigh and seat areas.
Easy and rapid temperature adjustment provided by 3/4 length reversed side zips with internal poppered storm flaps.
Trim, contoured shape with good articulation for unrestricted movement.
Additional protection from double layer of Pump Liner in seat, thigh and knee areas
Nikwax Analogy® is more than just breathable, it is  directional, moving liquid water
Conventional
 breathable membrane waterproof fabrics fail because they cannot remove 
all of the sweat we produce when we are working hard, especially in cold
 and wet conditions. Therefore condensation and icing are well known 
problems experienced with membrane rainwear. 
Nikwax Analogy® overcomes these problems because it is not only breathable, but also directional. The Analogy fabric system directs condensation and perspiration away from the body, where it can safely drain away.
