Aquatherm Pre-Bent Long Trousers

Product details 

Aquatherm® Pre-Bent long trousers

This design stops the pull and fatigue associated with garments out of their neutral position by designing them to be in the neutral position when seated in or on your kayak. The advantages are less restriction and fatigue for the paddler making for more comfortable longer trips.

External waterproof taping to strengthen all seams, seat and gusset areas.

Aquatherm® fabric has been developed to enable wearers to remain warm and dry in a whole range of conditions. It is a lightweight fabric that offers great freedom of movement, far more so than with traditional, bulkier neoprene and woven garments.

It is essential that the garment is working with the wearer, unlike earlier neoprene fabrics, where the wearer is more often working against the garment. Aquatherm is less than a millimetre thick and remains stable, flexible, strong and waterproof when fully flexed. Unlike neoprene, it has the added advantage of being water-shedding and fast drying, so less temperature is lost from the wet outer shell through evaporation.

Made from Aquatherm fabric. The only trousers constructed with pre-bent seat and waist areas. This design helps take the fabric  strain off the upper legs and across the stomach when in a paddling position making for very comfortable paddling pants.

These trousers fit best when sat or kneeling for paddling. They have a high back to keep your mid and lower abdomen warm and protected. External waterproof taping  strengthens seat and gusset areas.  Fully waterproof, stretchy and comfortable with a smooth-feel knit on the inside. Best worn as a snug fit, but some paddlers wear thin thermals under these trousers in especially cold conditions.

All inside leg measurements are 31"/71cm. These trousers are unisex.

Hang garments from their cuffs and neck to ensure that if there should be any water left then it can drain away easily.

Produce Features

- Aquatherm® Material

- Sewn and taped seams

- Elasticated, adjustable and locking draw cord to tighten the waist tube around you to keep water out. (Adjustable Waist Decks Only)

- 6mm Heavy-Duty Elastic/s in the deck tube hold the deck on tight over the cockpit rim 

- Front mounted grab-loop securely fitted for ease of use, reliability and confidence inspiring 'pull and pop' exits 

Deck Options

Fixed Waist Decks

The Aquatherm fixed waist spray decks incorporates the waist tube as a straight up ready to go fit.

Sizes from Small to XXL (28''/72cm to 40''/102cm)

Minimal profile design waist tube to work in conjunction with Paddle Suit and/or Cag waist seals providing extra protection from water encroachment while paddling

Adjustable Waist Decks

The Aquatherm® adjustable waist tube decks allow a much larger range of fitting compared to the fixed waist, ideal if sharing a spray deck or to accommodate base-layers meaning you will only require the one deck for many options through out the seasons paddling

Females often benefit from the adjustable deck waist tube as the design accommodates the natural curves of the paddler to make a more comfortable fit and matching the performance of a fixed waist deck.

Map-Loops Option

Four D' rings; two on either side of the forward deck, allows you to run an elastic cord through to make your own webbing for securing items closer to yourself during a paddle such as maps, drink bottles or other required kit. Very handy on the Keyhole decks where the deck is larger.

Bale-Hole Option

A dry bag entry to the inner cockpit through a sleeve without removing the Spray Deck, much safer than removing the deck during paddling. Originally used for bailing out water from the kayak with a bilge pump the Bale-Hole is also useful for putting away or retrieving kit while on the water. the Bale-hole rolls up and is fastened to keep the deck water-tight when not in use. The entry has a 38cm circumference allowing even larger hands entry into the cockpit. 

How do I wash and care for my Aquatherm® and Aquatherm Fleece® garments?

 

For Aquatherm®, Super-stretch Aquatherm® and Aquatherm Fleece®:

• Turn the garment inside out.
• Use a short, warm, delicate wash with a maximum temp 40 degrees C° in mild soapy water (not detergent). 
• Rinse thoroughly and air dry. 
• Do not spin. 
• Do not wring. 
• Do not tumble dry.
• Do not iron.
• Do not bleach. 
• Do not dry over hot radiators or near excessive heat.
• Hang garments from their cuffs and neck to ensure that if there should be any water ingress in the double fabric seals then it can drain easily.

Why is there water in the cuffs/neck seals of my aquatherm garment?

Sometimes the double fabric cuffs, neck & ankle seals make take in small amounts of water during use or when washed. This can be easily remedied when drying the garment by hanging it on the line by its cuffs, neck or ankle seals, thus allowing any water to drain out.

The possible ingress of water into cuffs, neck & ankle seals will not compromise the serviceability of your garment, it is due to taping on the knitted surface on the inside of the garments. The garment itself remains waterproof, keeping you dry and comfortable. We see any small ingress issue as a minor trade-off against the excellent features of a comfortable knitted surface on the inside of Reed garments and non-splitting, non-latex, comfortable double Aquatherm cuffs & seals.
