The Cascada II Trousers are for serious walkers, outdoors for long periods in varying conditions.
If you enjoy walking, whatever the weather, you may be familiar with the age-old problem of needing to quickly pull on overtrousers as soon as conditions turn – only to take them off again once the rain has passed! Conventional waterproof trousers quickly trap heat and sweat when you’re working hard and can be noisy and uncomfortable.
The Cascada II Trousers are the solution: a pair of articulated, waterproof walking trousers that you can wear comfortably all day long in varying conditions. Directional Nikwax Analogy Waterproof fabric gives you dry, next-to-skin comfort and weather protection. Extensive vents allow for excellent temperature regulation when you’re working hard. No more need for overtrousers!
The Cascada II Trousers have a contoured shape, excellent leg ventilation and reinforced knee, thigh and seat areas.
- Trim and feminine contoured shapewith articulated fit for unrestricted movement.
- Easy and rapid temperature adjustmentprovided by 3/4 length reversed side zips with internal poppered storm flaps.
- Additional protectionfrom double layer of Pump Liner in seat, thigh and knee areas.
Nikwax Analogy Waterproof fabric is more than just breathable, it is directional.
This means it is capable of moving liquid water away from your body and not just water vapour.
It is essential to avoid a build-up of water in your clothing system when you are working hard, as too much retained moisture will lead to your body rapidly chilling when you stop and rest.
In conventional clothing systems, approximately 20% of sweat production is dealt with effectively, leaving the remaining 80% trapped inside.
Nikwax Analogy garments are unique, in that they pump out this 80% of liquid water and allow it to drain away; you are left feeling dry and comfortable.
- 3/4 length reversed side zips with internal poppered storm baffles for easy and rapid temperature adjustment.
- Articulated knee and gusset areas for maximum freedom of movement.
- Trim-fit and feminine, contoured shape for a lighter weight, stylish-looking, all-day waterproof trouser.
- Double layer of Pump Liner in seat, thigh and knee areas for additional protection.
- Elasticised waistband with belt loops for a comfortable, adjustable fit.
- Two external hip pockets with reversed zip closure for handwarming and secure storage.
- Zip fly with popper.
- Ankle volume adjustment to suit different footwear and activities.

How will your Páramo®garment outperform breathable membranes?
Nikwax Analogy fabrics are not only extremely breathable, they are directional too. This means that water, both liquid and vapour, is directed outwards, ensuring your insulation remains protected.
Although breathable membranes allow moisture vapour to pass through them, they do nothing to transportliquidwater. Therefore, when the production of sweat exceeds the Moisture Vapour Transmission Rate, or when the external temperatures drop, condensation (the change of water from vapour to liquid) will build up in breathable membranes.
Nikwax Analogy is so durable you could puncture a Páramo waterproof with pins, remove them, and still stay dry in the rain! Unlike coated or membrane-based garments, our directional clothing can be easily repaired, without compromising future performance.
