Why We Chose The Klättermusen Gere Walking Trousers: Tough, functional, comfortable, quick-drying and incredibly windproof

Klättermusen are one of those just beneath the radar brands that don’t get anywhere near the amount of credit they should. Actually, from an awards perspective, that’s not true. They do get plenty of official credit, scooping more ISPO prizes in recent years than you’ve had hot dinners, it’s just that they maybe, for whatever reason, don’t seem to feature in outdoor media lists as much as they should. We’ve aimed to right that wrong this year by including them not once, not twice, but three whole times. These Gere Mountaineering Pants are well worth shouting about.

Who Are The Klättermusen Gere Mountaineering Pants For?

Klättermusen is Swedish for ‘climbing mouse’ so it probably shouldn’t come as much of a surprise to discover that these trousers are dead durable, and more than capable of bashing up against all types of rock; making them ideal legwear for the scramblers in our audience.

With Klättermusen claiming that the Gere pants dry five times faster, and are ten times more wind resistant, than regular jeans it’s clear these things are suitable for being worn in extreme Swedish weather conditions.

The cleverly implemented ventilation here also means that they not only keep the elements out, but also help to keep the wearer from overheating when they’re getting properly active.

If you’re all about getting outdoors, and up hills and mountains no matter what the weather’s doing, we’re confident you’ll like what these mountaineering pants bring to proceedings.
