The III. Generation of the Palearctic MNTN (Mountain) women's trousers are better than their predecessor in every respect: more powerful, even more breathable and a lot lighter! The MNTN trousers from MERKEL GEAR are the all-season trousers for the ambitious Pirsch- and mountain hunter. The highly breathable, cross-elastic and extremely robust double-weave stretch fabric developed specifically for MERKEL GEAR in combination with waterproof, breathable knee and seat areas made of strong, high-strength Oxford nylon (37.5™ membrane, 20,000 mm / 20,000 g/m² ), makes these trousers the undisputed workhorse when freedom of movement is key. A variety of useful details paired with the improved MaxComfort waistband system and a revised, modern cut result in pants that are unlike any you have worn before! Whether you're stalking sows at night or hunting New Zealand Thar, you'll be hard-pressed to find better trousers for active hunting. The fit was for the III. Generation fundamentally revised: relaxed fit at the waistband and tightening towards the leg cuffs, with triple pre-shaped knees, inner seams in the hem area that are moved outwards (shark fin shape for the use of crampons) and robust Oxford trimmings that always stay exactly where they are they belong. The new, innovative “Inside-Seam” cargo pocket construction lets rain roll off, is more robust and significantly more elegant than conventional patch pockets. Magnets and a special cut keep the bags closed. The strong stretch fabric has been further improved, slightly adjusted in color and equipped with an extremely high-quality DWR finish to protect against rain. The perfectly shaped waistband now has 2 loop buttons of different sizes (inside and outside), which are guaranteed not to become independent. In addition, the inside of the waistband has an all-round silicone coating that keeps your blouse or shirt in the right place, so that the pants still fit even if the belt or suspenders are forgotten. With integrated, soft holders for optionally available suspenders and sufficiently large, robust belt loops. A well-sized kidney protector sits above the waistband, gently enclosing your body like a second skin. The trousers have 2 side, ergonomically arranged pockets (with improved, robust pocket sacks) and a back pocket - each closed with silent zippers. Both cargo pockets are prepared for the included cartridge patch. The right cargo pocket also has a generously sized nap pocket. 44cm-long (!) side ventilation zippers that reach down to the back of the knees with a self-locking semi-auto zipper from YKK® ensure the necessary passage during strenuous extreme hunts or the recovery of game and set a new benchmark in terms of performance on the hunting market. The leg cuffs of the trousers have tight-fitting, integrated inner gaiters made of strong, waterproofed and lightweight stretch material to protect against snow and ticks. A strong shoe hook, which disappears into a fabric flap when not in use so as not to pinch rubber boots, for example, can be anchored to the mountain boots to prevent the trouser legs from “climbing”. The III. Generation is held together by tight double seams made of heavy-duty yarn and guarantees a long service life. A generous gusset in the crotch provides lasting relief for the crotch seams.
