THE MASTERCLASS
JACK WOLFSKIN
GLASTAL ZIP-AWAY PANTS
Your legs are the turbines that power every move you
make on a walk, from slithering around a churned-up
field path to boulder-hopping on a high summit. So
wrap them in armour that knows how to respond to all
those weird and unusual
movements, while keeping
themwarm or cool, dry and
ventilated, no matter what the
weather is doing. In this section
we’re looking at legwear that’ll
take you from beach to
beacon, and from peak to
pub. Here to show how it’s
done are the brand new
Glastal softshell pants from
Jack Wolfskin, which are
just made for great leaps
forward…
PLANET
FRIENDLY
All of Jack Wolfskin’s
clothing, packs and bags
has been 100% free of
perfluorochemicals (PFCs)
since spring 2019. The
brand new Glastal pants
are no exception.
FREEDOM
AND FIT
The articulated knees
and special ‘acrobat cut’
deliver optimal freedom of
movement. An elasticated
panel on the thigh helps
to ensure a perfect fit.
They’re available in three
leg lengths for both men
and women – and a good
range of waist sizes.
SMART AND
LIGHTWEIGHT
The Glastal softshell pants
weigh just 325g (size 36)
and 345g (size 50). Nice
and light to walk – and
they won’t take up too
much space in your
luggage either.
OH SO EASY
The innovative zip-off
system makes it easy to
remove the lower legs
without having to take
your boots off. Simple,
faff-free, brilliant.
FANTASTIC FABRIC
The Texashield Core fabric is
stretchy, highly breathable and keeps
out the rain and wind. Thanks to the innovative
weave of the fabric, these softshell trousers also
offer protection against UVA and UVB rays.
QUICK
DRYING
It’s always helpful if
your trousers will
dry out quickly
after a soaking. The
lightweight softshell
fabric in these pants
allows moisture to
wick away and
evaporate quickly.
