A comfortable and practical pair of trousers, made from a highly stretchy, soft and lightweight fabric that allows for great freedom of movement, with quick-drying properties for your most intense efforts.
Did you know? The ptarmigan - our totem animal - changes its plumage with the seasons. It turns white in winter to escape predators and increases the loft of its feathers to ward off the cold. The RIOUPOU trousers take inspiration from this: they block the wind and retain body heat (over 30°C at the skin's surface).
To make the most of your favourite activity whatever the weather, here are the basics: layering.
- The first layer, known as the base layer, must be breathable, to draw perspiration away from the body towards the outside of the garment.
- The mid layer is insulating, helping to retain heat.
- The outer layer protects against the elements: waterproof, breathable, windproof. RIOUPOU belongs to this last category. By building your outfit around this system, you gain in comfort and versatility. During activity, you can remove the mid layer and put it back on when you stop. In short, layering is the foundation of any good outdoor kit.
