The OMM Kamleika Pants are on of the lightest and softest waterproof pants available and fast becoming the best choice for fell and mountain running. The Kamleika Pants are made from OMM's Gelanots fabric which is both stretchy and comfortable for active movement on the hills, but is also at the upper end of the breathability ratings for performance outerwear. And, because of the close fit, the Kamleika Pants are also ideal for adventure racing, cycling, climbing and lightweight trekking.
The pants are a closer fit around the lower leg, are shorter in length to avoid catching when running or cycling, and are easy to get on and off with side zips to just below the knee. Large reflective logos on both rear lower legs also make the pants a safe option for urban cycling in the winter. With fully tapped seams, the Kamleika Pants are fully waterproof and OMM race approved, and would therefore also be ideal for mountain marathons such as the LAMM and Saunders, and Open Adventure events.
The Kamleika Pants can be used either as an outer-layer or as the only single layer, and when teamed up with either the Kamleika Jacket or Smock, provide undoubtedly the most effective full waterproof body cover for FRA fell race kit requirements.
How the GELANOTS fabric works:
- It's an elastomeric (means stretchy) hydrophilic laminate bonded to a knitted outer (which is unusual)
- The hydrophilic laminate "breathes" well and better still because of the knitted outer (more open than a weave structure)
- It stretches (elongates because of its knitted outer and recovers shape because of the elastomeric laminate)
- The result is that the fabric is highly breathable and the garment is silent in use
