How much colder can the De Havilland Pant go with layers?

It is designed for cold conditions and extends into extreme cold when worn with base layer and mid layer bottoms. The shell itself adds wind resistance and light weather protection, not insulation.

How does the Contour Waist work?

It lets you adjust the waist size up to 3 inches for an exact fit. The design avoids the material bunching at the hips that can cause discomfort under a heavy pack belt.

Are the De Havilland Pants waterproof?

No. The fabric has a DWR-treated, water- and wind-resistant face that sheds light moisture, but it is not a waterproof membrane.

Do they work with knee pads?

Yes. The articulated knees are kneepad compatible.

They have an athletic fit with articulated knees. The Contour Waist lets you fine-tune the waist, but the cut through the hips and thighs is trim.

What is the fabric and weight?

The fabric is 50% polyester, 43% nylon and 7% spandex for 4-way stretch. A size L weighs about 1 lb 8 oz.

About the De Havilland Pant

The De Havilland Pant is a late-season hunting pant for cold conditions. Paired with base layer and mid layer bottoms, it can be used in extreme cold.

It has the patented Contour Waist System, which adjusts the waist size by up to 3 inches for an exact fit while layering in the field. The system works without bunching material at the hips, so it avoids discomfort under the waist belt of a heavy pack.

The fabric is a 4-way stretch, breathable, weather-resistant textile with a DWR-treated, water- and wind-resistant face. Extra long side zips allow venting in hot weather or during high exertion. The fit is athletic, and the knees are articulated and compatible with knee pads.
