Cut
These cropped trousers have a form-fitting sporty cut. Using stretch fabric in both directions (width and length) allows perfect ease in the most restrictive movements when hiking, especially when going up.
Choose your usual size. Length falls below the knee.
MOISTURE TRANSFER TEST
The capacity of the fabric to wick away perspiration and dry quickly is measured according to several criteria: absorption capacity of the fabric, capacity of the fabric not to saturate with perspiration, speed of drying, etc. Level 1/5 is suitable for low-intensity activities or activities that don’t generate a lot of perspiration. All our hiking trousers and cropped trousers have a performance of 3/5.
OUR COMMITMENT TO CONSUME LESS WATER WITH THIS PRODUCT
Textile dyeing requires a lot of water but also produces waste water from the dye baths. To reduce our impact on the environment, we opted for a bulk dyeing or "dope-dyed" method for the black colour model. This method incorporates the dye pigments from the yarn manufacturing process onwards, and consumes less water.
The black MH500 cropped bottoms use this new dyeing process, which we want to replicate with other colours in the near future.
