New LIM Airak 2.5L Pants Waterproof Overtrousers

Jump to: Our Verdict / Features / Specifications

Stripped-down waterproofs for moving fast in the hills.

Haglofs says: 

Strikingly light and reliable waterproof pants for all kinds of activities. We designed them to be lighter and more breathable and packable than ever before. The main material is made entirely out of PERTEX Shield Revolve fabric. Mono-material products are easier to recycle at the end of their useful lifetime. They feature an elastic, adjustable waist for comfort and Kevlar-reinforced adjustable leg-ends for a secure fit over your footwear.

Our Verdict

Light, breathable and responsibly built, the L.I.M Airak 2.5L Pants, at just 174g (medium), are stripped back yet still deliver reliable protection and function where it counts. The switch to Pertex Shield Revolve is a welcome update – the fabric feels supple yet durable enough for quick-moving days in foul weather. Breathability is decent; they hold their own in mixed mountain weather. The Kevlar-reinforced leg-ends stay secure over trail shoes, though I do miss a side zip for easier on-off. Waist adjustment is subtle but effective, and they pack down neatly into a side pocket.
