The Dakine Clutch Pant provides serious protection in serious conditions with a no-nonsense style. Made using Dakine’s top of the line fabric, the Clutch pant provides outstanding waterproofing and breathability, and has plenty of features for a full day on the mountain.
| 3L Toray® Nylon Micro-Oxford | Offers lightweight, ultra-performance comfort by laminating a waterproof/breathable membrane to the inside of the shell fabric. This membrane acts as a climate-control system that lets perspiration out, while preventing moisture from penetrating inside. The third layer consists of a lightweight Tricot lining that is bonded directly to the outside of the laminate. This lining protects the laminate, provides a comfortable surface against the body, and accelerates the drying process by wicking away excess moisture. |
| Wicking | The act of transferring moisture from the skin to the outer layer of a garment quickly and efficiently, where it evaporates. Provides a drier more comfortable environment inside a piece of clothing. |
| DWR | A finish applied to a fabric that will bead-up water on its surface to stop it soaking into the fibres. This maintains breathability and shortens drying times. |
| Entrant Dermizax® EV | A heavy-duty nonporous laminate with exceptionally high resistance to water pressure and outstanding breathability. It is capable of effectively controlling moisture permeability depending on microclimate temperature, and it takes much longer for a wearer to start feeling stuffy even if very active. Waterproof rating: 20000mm/Breathability rating: 20000g/m2/24hrs. |
| Waterproof Rating | This is measured and expressed as Hydrostatic Head in millimetres (mm). To find out the Hydrostatic Head of a fabric the manufacturer will take a clear tube and clamp their material over the bottom end. They will then fill the tube slowly with water and watch to see how high the column of water can get before the material lets drips through. The higher the hydrostatic head, the better the water protection. The European Standard a fabric must meet to be classified as waterproof is a Hydrostatic Head rating of 1500mm, and on average, outerwear fabrics tend to have a hydrostatic head of 10000mm and above. |
| Breathability Rating | Breathability is measured as a rating in grams of how much vapour a square metre of fabric will allow to pass through in 24 hours (g/m2/24). For general use, 10000g/m2/24 and above is desirable. It should be noted that breathable fabrics do not stop you sweating and care should be taken as to clothing worn beneath waterproof/breathable shells. High quality base layers and fleece or insulated midlayers should in themselves draw vapour from the body and pass it outwards, thus allowing the outer fabric to do its job. Cotton clothing should never be worn as part of a performance clothing layering system. |
| Fully Taped Seams | Every single seam is taped with a high quality waterproof band. |
