Ardour All-Weather Pant - Women's

DWR, or Durable Water Repellent, is a special coating applied to fabrics that makes them water-resistant. This means that when it rains, water will bead up and roll off the surface instead of soaking in. If you plan to cycle or hike in wet conditions, DWR treatment helps keep you dry and comfortable, enhancing your overall experience.

Cordura Nylon is known for its exceptional durability and resistance to abrasions, tears, and scuffs. This makes it an ideal fabric for outdoor and performance gear, especially for activities like mountain biking where your gear may encounter rough conditions. Choosing products made with Cordura ensures they can withstand heavy use and last longer.

A waterproof rating of 30,000 gsm (grams per square meter) over 24 hours indicates that the fabric can handle significant water pressure before leaking. This high rating means your pants will keep you dry even in heavy rain, making them perfect for wet weather cycling or outdoor adventures.

A tapered leg design means the pant legs are narrower at the ankle than at the thigh. This reduces excess fabric that can get caught in the bike chain or interfere with pedaling. The streamlined fit allows for better movement and performance, making your ride more efficient and comfortable.

The inseam measurement is the length from the crotch to the bottom of the pant leg. It is crucial for ensuring a proper fit, especially for cycling where comfort and mobility are key. A well-fitted inseam, like a 32-inch length, helps prevent chafing and allows for a full range of motion while riding.

While DWR treatment significantly enhances water resistance, it is important to note that it is not completely waterproof. For heavy rain, look for pants with a high waterproof rating in addition to DWR treatment. This combination will provide the best protection against wet conditions, ensuring you stay dry during your outdoor activities.
