Teleki [Mens]

Lightweight, unrestrictive and taking up the minimum of rucksack space, the Teleki has been designed for two-season hillwalking, multi-day backpacking and summer alpine walking.

• Tailored for freedom of movement with a neat cut and two-way stretch
• Perfect weight for British hillwalking or alpine hiking in summer
• Lightweight, packable and fast-drying for multi-day trips

For the Teleki we’ve chosen a hard-wearing yet exceptionally lightweight fabric. It’s the ideal thickness for the variable temperatures of late-spring to early-autumn walking in the UK or the cool starts and baking midday sun of Alpine walking holidays. Plus you can roll them up neatly into rucksacks and wash them through easily on hut-to-hut tours and multi-day trips.

The Teleki’s articulated fit is tailored for long days of leg-lifting. And a small amount of spandex in the fabric provides an unrestrictive two-way stretch for high-striding hikers. We hate all that irritating trouser-flappery you can often get on gusty cols and airy ridges so we’ve also reduced any unnecessary excess material around the calf and ankle.

Many summer walking trousers are either too flimsy or too restrictive for the rough and tumble of proper hiking but the Teleki’s lightweight nylon fabric is deceptively abrasion and tear resistant. The dense weave of the material provides a high level of wind resistance. And, because nylon doesn’t absorb any water into its fibres, it’s exceptionally fast-drying and great at quickly wicking away sweat.

“Because of the fabric we’ve chosen, we’ve managed to avoid using any extra chemical finishes on the Teleki. We didn’t feel a Durable Water Repellent was necessary for a summer walking trouser this fast-drying, and wicking finishes can often cause early-morning dew to spread up the trousers to your knees – not what you want first thing in the morning!” – Ronnie, Design Manager
