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