"I love the X it always keeps me dry when exploring the amazon, it packs down to a 10th of its size and is just phenomenal."

DESCRIPTION

A major step forward for polar explorers: specialist salopettes containing a range of features never seen before in expedition apparel. In conjunction with the Challenger Expedition Pulk Jacket they have been tested by Louis Rudd in some of the harshest environments on the planet including Antarctica, the Alps, Norway and Iceland.

The CHALLENGER Expedition Salopettes boast a number of technical features that make them the ultimate choice for polar explorers. Fully seam-sealed and complete with Aquaguard zippers, they’re both fully waterproof and breathable, providing unbeatable protection from even the most extreme conditions. The lightweight shell has reinforced panels to protect against ski abrasions as well as complementing the high impact areas around the removable knee pad inserts when required.

Designed for explorers who know speed is of the essence and exposure needs to be kept to a minimum, the full drop seat features side seams with 2-way zip openings and easy grip pulls at the top and bottom, providing easy access without having to remove more than necessary.

The most unique aspect of the CHALLENGER Expedition Salopettes is the innovative removable down panel that protects against polar thigh when facing brutal Antarctic winds.

Louis is acutely aware of how essential the right equipment is, which is why after nine iterations of prototyping, they are finally ready to be the first choice for those who demand the best from their equipment.

Combine with the CHALLENGER Expedition Pulk Jacket to utilise the compatible chest pockets and equip you For The Challenge.

A garment’s warmth depends on individual tolerance, layering, and conditions like wind or humidity, allowing flexibility beyond its listed temperature range.

Waterproof rating is measured in Hydrostatic Head (H/H). Hydrostatic head is a measurement that indicates the water-resistance level of a fabric or material. It is defined as the height of a column of water, measured in millimeters, that a fabric can withstand before water begins to penetrate through. The higher the hydrostatic head value, the more water-resistant the material is.

Breathability measurement refers to a fabric's ability to allow moisture vapor to pass through, indicating how comfortable it will be during wear. The RET (Resistance to Evaporative Heat Transfer) value is commonly used; lower RET values (0-6) indicate very high breathability, while higher values (above 20) mean poor breathability.

The second way that breathability can be measured is moisture vapour transmission rate (MVTR), given in milligrams per hour (mg/h), showing how much moisture can pass through in a set time frame. Higher MVTR values indicate better breathability, ensuring comfort by reducing moisture buildup.
