Every angler or hunter has surely found themselves in a situation where the regular material that protected our skin from cold and moisture proved insufficient in pants that constantly rubbed against wet vegetation. Waterproof pants were created precisely for such conditions, so that every outdoor enthusiast could enjoy nature and adventure regardless of the prevailing weather. Every survivalist knows that many things can be unpleasant in the field, but hypothermia is the most dangerous, which is why it's so important to maintain the right temperature, because even a small rain that soaks your clothing can lead to body cooling and chafing. In the short term, this translates to discomfort, but in a situation where you have many hours left to return to a warm, dry place – it can end tragically.
Thousands of years ago, in times of hand-spun materials, people created waterproof fabrics by coating them with beeswax and then subjecting them to a heating process. The wax would flow between the fibers and fill the empty spaces, creating a layer impermeable to water and air. Unfortunately, it turned out that such prepared fabrics were difficult to sew and even harder to wear due to their stiffness and unpleasant texture. In later times, when leather once again became the primary material for clothing, jackets and pants began to be oiled, which prevented water absorption, gave a shine to the tanned leather, and also softened it.
In the 20th and 21st centuries, many new technologies and ways to create waterproof pants emerged, and the old ones proved insufficient, inappropriate, or expensive. Who in our times would take leather pants to the forest or sailing instead of dedicated warm and lightweight clothing?
At MILITARY, you can find urban waterproof pants, classic cargo pants more comfortable than military pants but with plenty of pockets to organize, typical sportswear that will protect you from rain during an evening jog, or typical outdoor clothing allowing you to comfortably set up camp in the rain.
To ensure better comfort during travel or sports, waterproof pants are equipped with elastic inserts placed in the crotch and at the back of the pants. This allows for full freedom of movement, while the pants' material protects against wind and moisture. When going on a trip, you need to take many useful things with you, so remember to pay attention to the number of pockets. The right amount will allow you to carry all the necessary accessories.
The most popular are low-profile cargo-style waterproof pants – meaning without visible large pockets. They are spacious enough to fit all our EDC, such as a phone, wallet, folding knife, flashlight, pen, small first aid kit, and still have some room left for something to eat. These pants are coated with Teflon, allowing them to maintain full comfort, breathability, and at the same time, they are resistant to wind and moisture, and their cut does not stand out in a crowd, making rain during the return from work or the store no threat.
In our assortment, you will find men's rain pants from the best Polish brands like Helikon, 4F, and international ones like Columbia, allowing you to dress for any trip regardless of the weather, or provide them with comfortable everyday clothing that will protect you from the effects of unforeseen weather changes.
We especially recommend our rain pants to people who like to be prepared for anything, are looking for clothes for a trip, or work outdoors.
